ONWARD-MEDICAL-N.V.

THIS PRESS RELEASE CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION WITHIN THE MEANING OF ARTICLE 7(1) OF THE EUROPEAN MARKET ABUSE REGULATION (596/2014).

ONWARD Medical N.V. (Euronext: ONWD), the medical technology company creating innovative therapies to restore movement, independence, and health in people with spinal cord injury, today announces its current cash balance is expected to fuel operations through the end of 2024. The company’s strong cash position will mitigate the impact of industry-wide supply chain challenges that may affect certain development programs.

Global microprocessor shortages and the scarcity of other components are expected to impact development and commercialization timing for both of the company’s technology platforms. Assuming normal regulatory authorization windows, the company now expects its ARC^EX platform to be ready for commercialization in 2H 2023. It expects its ARC^IM platform to be ready for commercialization in 2H 2025.

“Many companies and industries have been affected by supply chain challenges. To limit our downside, we have worked with determination to source critical components and assure continuity of supply in order to fulfill our mission to help people with spinal cord injury live better lives,” said Dave Marver, CEO of ONWARD. “We have a strong balance sheet, with cash to propel operations through the end of 2024, and we will look for opportunities to further strengthen our cash position as equity capital markets improve in the US and across the globe.”
