- 7% One-Year Convertible Promissory NoteUSD 2M — Raised USD 2.45M through the issuance of 7% one-year convertible promissory notes to five investors, including USD 1.0M from Sushruta Pvt Ltd—a Bahamas holding company wholly owned by Chairman, CEO, and major shareholder Dr. Sudhir Srivastava, constituting a related-party follow-on investment. The notes bear interest at 7% per annum, with principal and interest maturing one year from their respective issue dates; holders may convert into common stock at USD 4.45/share prior to maturity. Concurrently (February 2024), the company filed for a USD 50M Nasdaq IPO. Note: The offering amount registered via SEC Form D was USD 4M, while actual proceeds were USD 2.45M.
- Reverse MergerUndisclosed — The company's wholly-owned subsidiary merged with CardioVentures, Inc. (Delaware), which is the indirect parent of Indian entity Sudhir Srivastava Innovations Pvt. Ltd. Following the transaction, a change in control occurred; the company was renamed 'SS Innovations International, Inc.' and implemented a one-for-ten reverse stock split. This was a backdoor listing/reverse merger rather than a cash financing round: the company did not receive new cash consideration, but the Indian surgical robotics business was injected into the US-listed entity, paving the way for a subsequent Nasdaq transfer.
- Form D Equity FinancingUSD 1M — SEC Form D filed offering of $542,260, Rule 506(b) exemption, expanding investor count to 26—a typical small-scale, multi-investor crowdfunding-style fundraising for a US micro-cap company.
