Positive
  • Monogram Technologies expects $9.25 million in net proceeds from the public offering if all units are sold.
  • The 8.00% dividend yield on the Series D Preferred Stock offers an attractive return for investors.
  • The preferred stock is convertible into common shares, providing potential for capital appreciation.
Negative
  • There is no public market for the Series D Preferred Stock or warrants, limiting liquidity for investors.
  • The company does not plan to list the Series D Preferred Stock or warrants on any national securities exchange.

Monogram Technologies' announcement to issue $10 million in convertible preferred stock and warrants is noteworthy for several reasons. Firstly, the 8.00% annual yield on the preferred stock is enticing for income-focused investors, particularly in a low-interest-rate environment. The dividend's convertibility into common stock provides potential upside if the company's stock appreciates. However, investors should be cautious about the high redemption premium, which starts at 200% and decreases over time. This could limit the stock’s liquidity and put pressure on the company to redeem shares at a higher cost.

The company's decision to conduct this offering through a continuous public offering platform is innovative but not without risks. While it democratizes access to investment opportunities, the lack of a public market for the Series D Preferred Stock and warrants could deter liquidity-seeking investors. The 'reasonable best efforts' basis by Digital Offering also implies there's no guarantee that all units will be sold, which might affect the total funds raised.

For retail investors, the main appeal lies in the high yield and the potential for stock conversion, but they should be aware of the illiquidity risks and redemption terms. The absence of a listing on a national exchange could pose significant liquidity risks.

Monogram Technologies operates in a high-growth sector, focusing on AI-driven robotics for orthopedic surgery. This niche market is expected to expand significantly, given the aging population and increasing demand for advanced surgical solutions. The capital raised through this offering could fuel R&D and market penetration efforts, potentially accelerating the company's growth trajectory.

However, the decision not to list the Series D Preferred Stock and warrants on any national exchange limits the secondary market's liquidity, which could dissuade some investors. The strategic rationale behind issuing convertible preferred stock and warrants seems to be to attract both income-focused and growth-oriented investors. Nevertheless, the lack of an established trading market for these securities could impact investor sentiment.

Retail investors should weigh the potential growth opportunities against the liquidity risks. The offering's structure could be more attractive to those looking for stable dividends and are comfortable with potential stock appreciation without immediate liquidity.

AUSTIN, TX / ACCESSWIRE / July 9, 2024 / Monogram Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:MGRM) ("Monogram" or the "Company"), an AI-driven robotics company focused on improving human health with an initial focus on orthopedic surgery, announced the launch of a continuous public offering of up to $10,000,000 of units at a public offering price of $2.25 (the "Public Offering"). Each unit consists of one share 8.00% Series D Redeemable Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock exercisable at $3.375 per share, which will result in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $9.25 million after payment of estimated commissions and offering expenses if all Units are sold.

The shares of the Series D Preferred Stock and the warrants are immediately separable and will be issued and tradeable separately, but will be purchased together. The Series D Preferred Stock pays a $0.18 per share per year dividend at an annual yield of approximately 8.00% and is convertible into one share of the Company's common stock for each share of the Series D Preferred Stock. The dividend is payable in cash or in-kind. The Company has the right to redeem the Series D Preferred Stock at a premium to the public offering price of the units, which declines over time from 200% down to 150% of the offering price.

About Monogram Technologies Inc.

Monogram Technologies (NASDAQ:MGRM) is an AI-driven robotics company focused on improving human health, with an initial focus on orthopedic surgery. The Company is developing a product solution architecture to enable patient-optimized orthopedic implants at scale by combining 3D printing, advanced machine vision, AI and next-generation robotics.

Monograms mBôs precision robotic surgical system is designed to autonomously execute optimized paths for high-precision insertion of its FDA-cleared mPress press-fit implants. The goal is well balanced better-fitting bone sparing knee replacements. The Company initially intends to produce and market robotic surgical equipment and related software, orthopedic implants, tissue ablation tools, navigation consumables, and other miscellaneous instrumentation necessary for reconstructive joint replacement procedures. Other clinical and commercial applications for the mBôs with mVision navigation are also being explored.

Monogram has obtained FDA clearance for mPress implants. Monogram currently plans to apply for 510(k) clearance for its robotic products in the second half of 2024. The Company is required to obtain FDA clearance before it can market its products. Monogram cannot estimate the timing or assure the ability to obtain such clearances.

The Company believes that its mBôs precision robotic surgical assistants, which combine AI and novel navigation methods (mVision), will enable more personalized knee implants for patients, resulting in well balanced better-fitting knee replacements with bone sparing implants. Monogram anticipates that there may be other clinical and commercial applications for its navigated mBôs precision robot and mVision navigation.
