Net cash outflow from operating activities in the first nine months of 2022 totalled €10.1 million, compared to €6.5 million the previous year. The increased cash outflow was primarily due to the PRIMAvera clinical trial in Europe for which the Company reached its enrolment target of 38 patients from its clinical sites in France, Germany, the UK, Spain, the Netherlands and Italy. Furthermore, the manufacturing of remote rehabilitation systems for patients in clinical trials as well as costs related to the preparation of financing options, lead to an increase in spending, which were partially offset by reduced expenses associated with the French and US feasibility studies.

ANNUNCIO PUBBLICITARIO

Until 30 September 2022, investments in fixed and intangible assets remained low leading to a net cash outflow from investment activities of €0.1 million.

At 30 September 2022, net cash provided by financing activities totalled €4.2 million, following the drawdown of the first tranche of the convertible note (“ORNAN 2022”) signed with ESGO in July 2022 for a total of €5.5 million and for which the Company received a total amount of €4.6 million (in net proceeds).

In total, at 30 September 2022, Pixium Vision’s cash position amounted to €8.5 million, compared to €16.9 million on 1 January 2022. Given its current cash position, the Company believes that it is able to finance its operations until middle of the second quarter 2023.

Due to the constraints of its agreement with ESGO, Pixium Vision is currently not able to continue drawing further tranches and therefore the Company is exploring various avenues to enable it to secure its cash flow necessary to pursue its strategic ambitions.

Key developments in the third quarter of 2022

In the third quarter of 2022 Pixium Vision continued the positive momentum of its clinical development in completing the enrolment of the PRIMAvera study, the regulatory approval of remote rehabilitation system for patients in clinical trials and has implemented a convertible note facility with a maximum nominal amount of €30 million with ESGO, including the drawdown of the first tranche of €5.5 million.

On 14 July 2022, Pixium Vision announced the implementation of a financing of a maximum nominal amount of €30 million with ESGO, and the drawdown of a first tranche of €5.5 million.

On 3 August 2022, Pixium Vision announced the regulatory approval of remote rehabilitation system for patients in clinical trials.

On 19 September 2022, Pixium Vision announced reaching its enrolment target in the European pivotal trial PRIMAvera and confirmed the intention to complete all implantations by end 2022.

Subsequent to the closing on 30 September 2022, Pixium Vision published peer-reviewed safety data of the Prima System in Dry AMD in the Journal of Neural Engineering was published.
