Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously disclosed, on April 9, 2018, Valeritas Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that, for the first fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2018, its estimated revenue will be approximately $6.0 million, gross margin will be approximately 47%, and cash on hand was $14.5 million.
Based on its current plan, the Company believes it can achieve operating cash flow breakeven, excluding the payment of secured debt with senior debt maturing in 2022, with $50 million to $60 million of additional capital (assuming it raises at least $20 million in gross proceeds pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-223903), which was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 26, 2018 (the “Registration Statement”)). The Company anticipates that it will achieve 70% gross margin at operating cash flow breakeven, which it expects to achieve during 2022, and it believes it has a path to potentially reach 80% gross margin with additional sales volume.
The Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the SEC. The disclosure on this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Company’s securities, nor shall there be any sale of the Company’s securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, if declared effective by the SEC, in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdictions.
