The funds raised under the SPP and the private placement will be used to drive growth in the consumer health business globally, specifically that of the flagship évolis® product range and the exclusive distribution agreement with Fillerina in Australia and New Zealand.
Cellmid chief executive officer Maria Halasz said: “We thank all participating shareholders and new investors for their support in the capital raising as we continue to advance distribution opportunities for our portfolio of high growth anti-aging consumer health products in major global markets”.
Cellmid recently commenced the instore launch of its anti-aging hair care range, évolis Professional, on August 31, 2018 in Neiman Marcus and Soft Surroundings stores across the U.S.
The in-store launches are being supported by major public relations and social media campaigns in addition to full-day experiential marketing events hosted by each store.
The theme for each of the 16 events will be built around the use of Cellmid’s proprietary évoliscope™ technology, which allows customers to assess their hair health.
