Sphere Medical
Sphere Medical has been a publicly-listed business since 2011, and has been held as a position in the Patient Capital portfolio since April 2015. Since then, the company has progressed broadly according to plan, successfully developing and launching its miniature blood gas analyser, Proxima. Despite this progress, its share price has steadily declined, reflecting a lack of institutional investor interest in early-stage, science-based businesses, almost regardless of the quality of their technology.
As a result, the company no longer sees any benefit to being a quoted company and on 21 August, it announced it was pursuing a delisting. We continue to recognise the investment potential of Proxima, particularly the 4th generation product that is currently in development, which has the potential to open up the lucrative US market. We support Sphere’s decision to delist and focus on the development of this ground-breaking product as a private business.
