NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

TORONTO, Aug. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Conavi Medical Corp. (TSXV: CNVI) (“Conavi” or the “Company”), a commercial stage medical device company focused on designing, manufacturing, and marketing imaging technologies to guide common minimally invasive cardiovascular procedures, is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced equity offering for aggregate gross proceeds of $10 million (the “Offering”).

“This financing provides Conavi with the capital to execute the next important phase of our U.S. commercialization strategy,” said Thomas Looby, Chief Executive Officer of Conavi. “With our FDA-cleared hybrid IVUS-OCT imaging system, our focus is now on placing systems in U.S. hospitals, supporting initial clinical adoption and building the foundation for broader commercialization. We are grateful for the strong support of our new and existing investors and their confidence in Conavi as we advance this next stage of our growth.”

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to complete a limited market release in the United States of the Company’s Novasight Hybrid system. The Company also intends to use the net proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Bloom Burton Securities Inc. acted on behalf of a syndicate of agents in connection with the Offering (collectively, the “Agents”). Under the Offering, subscribers either purchased common shares at $0.20 per common share (the “Common Shares”) or pre-funded common share purchase warrants for $0.19999 per pre-funded common share purchase warrant (“Pre-Funded Warrants” and, together with the Common Shares, the “Securities”). Investors purchased a total of 50,000,775 Securities (consisting of 34,500,775 Common Shares and 15,500,000 Pre-Funded Warrants) for gross proceeds of $10 million. Each Pre-Funded Warrant issued in lieu of a Common Share at the election of a subscriber entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.00001 per Common Share. The Pre-Funded Warrants will not expire.

In Canada, the Securities purchased pursuant to the Offering were qualified for sale by way of a short form prospectus dated July 29, 2026, which was filed in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. The Securities were also purchased by way of private placement in the United States, pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “U.S. Securities Act”), and pursuant to all applicable U.S. state securities laws. In addition, the Securities were also sold by way of private placement in certain other jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States pursuant to and in compliance with applicable securities laws.

The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act, or any U.S. state securities laws, and accordingly, may not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States or to U.S. Persons (as such terms are defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act), except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities requirements or pursuant to exemptions therefrom. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Company’s securities.

The Agents received a total cash commission of $450,864.11 and 2,254,365 compensation options of the Company (“Compensation Options”). Each Compensation Option entitles the holder to buy one Common Share at a price of $0.20 per Common Share until expiry on August 12, 2028.
