Biodesix%2C+Inc. (Nasdaq: BDSX), a leading data-driven diagnostic solutions company with a focus in lung disease, today announced that it has obtained a term loan facility for up to $50 million from Perceptive Advisors, a leading healthcare investment firm focused on supporting progress in the life sciences industry by identifying opportunities and directing financial resources toward the most promising technologies in modern healthcare. This debt capital, which is conditioned on the Company raising at least $30 million in gross proceeds through sale of its equity securities, is part of a strategic fundraising effort to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet, reduce near term cash use and enable the continued growth trajectory of the core lung diagnostics business. The proceeds from this debt offering will be used for repayment of existing debt facilities, working capital, and general corporate purposes, including expansion of the commercialization activities for the Company’s five Medicare reimbursed lung diagnostic tests.
