After the merger takes effect, Firefly’s security holders will hold roughly 92% of the merged company while WaveDancer’s security holders will own approximately 8%, on a fully diluted basis.
Once the deal is completed, the merged entity is expected to function under the name Firefly Neuroscience, Inc.
The combined company will focus on advancing and commercialising Firefly’s artificial intelligence-powered Brain Network Analytics (BNA) platform.
This platform has already received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is used for objectively evaluating brain function by comparing patient electroencephalograms (EEGs) with a database of EEGs and behavioural data.
