Led By Institutional Investors

 

— Investor Call Scheduled For May 21, 12:00PM EDT —

 

NEW YORK— GlassesOff Inc. (OTCBB: GLSO), today announced that it completed a private placement of approximately four million shares of its common stock to new and existing investors, which provided gross proceeds to the Company of $5 million. The lead investor in the offering is an affiliate of Cowen Group (Nasdaq: COWN). The Chairman and Vice Chairman of GlassesOff participated in the offering on the same terms as all other investors.

 

The company's management will host an investor conference call and webcast on May 21, 2014 at 12pm EDT to review recently announced corporate developments, including an update regarding the GlassesOff product pre-commercial launch on the iOS (iPhone, iPod and iPad) platform and future plans.

 

Nimrod Madar, CEO of GlassesOff, commented, “We are delighted to welcome on-board significant institutional investors. Following the closing of this private placement and the positive preliminary results from our iOS soft launch, we are ready to move forward with our stated execution plan, including the completion of our iOS soft launch and initial launch of GlassesOff for the Android operating system, currently scheduled for the end of the second quarter, followed by a planned ramp up of our marketing activities in the U.S. market and concurrent initiation of our marketing plan for international expansion.”

 

Shai Novik, Chairman of GlassesOff, added, “GlassesOff platform technology is one of the most interesting disruptive technologies I have seen in a long time, with the potential to enable people of all ages to significantly improve, through exercise, their visual skills and performance. The Company has commenced a clear commercialization program, which I believe will eventually result in multiple products for various mass market segments. We believe that the planned sports applications have the potential to boost the performance of millions of children and teenagers playing baseball, tennis, hockey, practicing martial arts or any other sport in which visual interpretation and resulting decisions need to be made in a split second.”
