SOPHIA ANTIPOLIS, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
Median Technologies (FR0011049824, ALMDT, PEA-PME scheme eligible, 'Median' or the 'Company'), manufacturer of eyonis ®, a suite of artificial intelligence (AI) powered Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) for early cancer diagnosis, and a globally leading provider of AI-based image analyses and central imaging services for oncology drug developers, announced today that the Company signed a financial agreement with the European Investment Bank (EIB) for a new financing facility of up to €37.5 million, on July 11, 2025.
The signature of the financial agreement is in line with previous announcements on January 24, 2025, and April 24, 2025 stating that Median and the EIB were working to conclude an agreement for a new financing facility.
'We welcome the conclusion of our discussions with the European Investment Bank and the signature of the financial agreement', said Fredrik Brag, CEO and Founder of Median Technologies. 'We are very honored to belong to the European innovative ecosystem supported by the EIB, and to contribute to the European technological sovereignty. Proceeds from this new EIB financing facility will strengthen our financial independence to negotiate the best possible options for the commercialization of eyonis ® LCS in U.S. and in Europe.'
Financing Facility Structure
The EIB 2025 financing facility could be drawn in three (3) tranches, i.e., €19 million (Tranche A), €8.5 million (Tranche B) and €10 million (Tranche C).
Median Technologies will request the drawdown of the €19 million Tranche A, as soon as all contractual conditions with respect to such tranche, are satisfied, specifically:
Full issuance of the EIB new Tranche A warrants to the EIB and registration, in accordance with the warrant issuance agreement,
Completion of a share capital increase for an amount at least equal to €16 million (issuance premium included),
Repayment of the first tranche of the previous EIB 2019 loan, for which the maturity has been extended from April to October 2025.
Furthermore, the Company has undertaken to have secured by June 30, 2026, incremental equity financing in a total amount of at least €10 million.
The characteristics of tranche A are:
Maturity of 72 months, and monthly amortization over a period of 36 months after a 36-month grace period,
Annual interest rate of 5%.
The release of the tranche A of €19 million will result in the issuance of warrants which quantity and exercise price will depend on the stock price on the date of issuance. At current trading stock price, and after fulfilment of all drawdown conditions, the total amount of shares resulting from the exercise of the warrants would represent 10% of the share capital.
As stated in the financial agreement, Tranche B and Tranche C disbursements remain at Median's discretion, subject to certain conditions which are specified in the financial agreement.
Intended use of proceeds
The EIB funds will be to support eyonis ® Lung Cancer Screening (LCS) progress towards major milestones consisting of commercial launch and sales development in the U.S and in Europe, and to accelerate the expansion of Median's proprietary suite of Software as a Medical Device, eyonis ®, for image-based early cancer diagnosis, notably the scientific and clinical development of eyonis ® IPN for incidental findings of pulmonary nodules, and eyonis ® HCC, for primary liver cancer early diagnosis.
eyonis ® LCS progress status and next steps
Regulatory filings for marketing in U.S. and Europe and marketing authorizations:
On May 14, 2025, Median Technologies announced the filing of an application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for 510(k) clearance of eyonis ® LCS.
On July 1, 2025, the Company announced the filing of an application for Class IIb CE marking of eyonis ® LCS.
Given the usual timelines for regulatory review, the U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance for eyonis ® LCS is expected around the end of Q3 2025, expected to be followed by commercial launch in the US. Median Technologies expects European marketing authorization for eyonis ® LCS as soon as Q1 2026.
Commercial launch
Median Technologies is actively engaged in discussions with several leading players in AI- diagnostic and imaging equipment manufacturing, for the commercialization of eyonis ® LCS. Some of these strategic partnerships are expected to be finalized upon FDA marketing authorization of eyonis ® LCS.
The Company has finalized its US market access strategy, based on a comprehensive mapping of medical institutions involved in screening procedures, particularly in the United States, eyonis ® LCS' first and leading market. This mapping has enabled the identification of health institutions generating the highest volume of lung cancer screening procedures, positioning them as key drivers for the commercial launch of eyonis ® LCS.
Discussions with U.S. payers will be initiated upon FDA marketing authorization. At this stage, preliminary studies have been conducted to estimate the projected economic benefits of using eyonis ® LCS in lung cancer screening programs. To date, the Company has developed a detailed mapping of payers in the United States. Furthermore, an initial analysis based on a health economics Markov model simulating lung cancer progression over five years and incorporating the performance of eyonis ® LCS, demonstrates that eyonis ® LCS enhances early detection and characterization, reduces unnecessary health procedures, and generates significant cost savings for U.S. payers. The results of this preliminary analysis were presented at ISPOR 2025, the leading global conference for health economics and market access, held this past May. Results from the study are available on Median's website.
Over the past year, the Median eyonis ® team has built a very substantial network of early adopters composed of key opinion leaders. The team has conducted numerous visits to leading healthcare institutions and actively participated in major medical conferences organized by medical societies in pulmonology, oncology, and radiology, both in the U.S. and Europe, including the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), the European Radiology Society (ESR), the American Thoracic Society (ATS), the European Society of Thoracic Imaging (ESTI), the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO), and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). The Company now enjoys strong recognition of its eyonis ® LCS technology within the medical community, along with a strong brand image associated with the product. Most of the leading healthcare institutions in contact with Median have expressed interest in participating in future health economics studies, which will be launched following regulatory market approvals.
