Affluent Medical Carvolix Secures New EUR 10m Tranche, Bringing Total Financing to EUR 20m as Part of its EUR 30m Programme
Aix-en-Provence, June 24, 2026 – 7:30 a.m. CET – Carvolix (formerly Affluent Medical) (ISIN: FR0013333077 – Ticker: CVX – “Carvolix” or the “Company”), a French commercial- and clinical-stage medical technology company specializing in the international development and industrialization of breakthrough AI-driven mini-robots and biomimetic implants, to revolutionize interventional cardiology and the treatment of brain stroke, is today announcing a €10 million offering reserved to specific categories of investors (the “Transaction”) through the issuance of 2,976,190 new ordinary shares of the Company (the “New Shares”) at a price per New Share of €3.36 (the “Subscription Price”) to the benefit of existing shareholders. The settlement-delivery of the Transaction is expected to take place around June 26, 2026, subject to customary conditions. The New Shares will be subject to an application for admission to trading on Euronext Paris on the same trading line as the existing shares under the same ISIN code FR0013333077. Sébastien Ladet, CEO of Carvolix commented: “The renewed commitment from our long-standing shareholders demonstrates their confidence in our roadmap and the innovative nature of our AI-driven robotic platforms. This funding allows us to focus our efforts on the commercialization of Tavipilot in the United States and advancing our roadmap, with key regulatory milestones in the coming quarters. Our conviction remains unchanged: to make our technologies the standard of care for patients requiring cardiovascular and neurovascular procedures.”
Reasons for the Transaction and Use of Proceeds The Company intends to use the €10 million proceeds of the Transaction to pursue the development of its various products (30% on Tavipilot, 23% on Kalios, 21% on Artus, 19% on Artedrone, 7% on Mitrapilot) and for an amount of €2.5 million to repay a bridge financing made available by funds managed by Truffle Capital.
More specifically, the proceeds will be allocated to finance the following development phases (as described in the Company’s 2025 Universal Registration Document): (i) Tavipilot: US commercial roll-out of the software and FDA clearance process for the robot; (ii) Kalios: Preparing the FDA submission and resuming the European clinical trial with the new supply chain; (iii) Artus: continuation of validation studies in preparation for a first-in-human trial; (iv) Mitrapilot: adaptation of mitral valve technology to the robotic platform and preclinical demonstration.
Following completion of the Transaction, the Company estimates that its existing cash resources will be sufficient to fund its operations until the end of September 2026.
The Company intends to extend its cash runway through the potential entering into a venture debt facility. The Company is currently negotiating the terms of such facility with several leading European venture debt funds for an amount of approximately €25 million, which would allow the Company to extend its cash runway beyond 12 months from the date of this Transaction. In addition, multiple European and non-European investors have initiated discussions with the Company, following the successful EuroPCR international cardiology conference.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure the venture debt facility or any other additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain such financing, it may not have sufficient cash resources to fund its operations for a period of at least 12 months, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and could require the Company to delay, reduce, or eliminate certain development programs or operations.
The Company’s financial needs until end of 2027 amount to approximately €78 million, of which €20 million are secured, for product development and market access.
The Company expects to finance the remaining needs through:
