Rockley Photonics Holdings Limited (NYSE: RKLY) (“Rockley”), a global leader in photonics-based health monitoring and communications solutions, today announced that it has obtained $10.0 million of financing from the holders of its Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2026. The agreement also creates a structure for the Company to work with these holders to explore up to $15.0 million in net additional financing in the form of notes which would be convertible into Rockley’s ordinary shares.

In connection with the investment from current holders, Andrew Rickman, chairman and chief executive officer of Rockley, provided an additional $0.5 million, bringing the total amount of financing to $10.5 million. Dr. Rickman’s participation was separately reviewed and approved by the Company’s audit committee and independent members of the Company’s board of directors.

“Our bondholders are committed to Rockley and its success. They’ve done a significant amount of work to understand the opportunity in front of us, and I believe their continued investment is a clear demonstration of their confidence in our ability to reach our goals,” said Dr. Andrew Rickman, chairman and chief executive officer of Rockley. “As we approach the commercialization of our Bioptx™ biosensing solution, we are at a critical point in the development of the Company. To that end, the bondholders and I devised a financing solution that would help us to deliver our product to our customers by year end. I believe this financing is a big step toward our achieving this goal.”

More detailed information concerning this financing and the potential for additional equity and equity linked financings can be found in the Current Report on Form 8-K that Rockley filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 3, 2022.
