Acerus is a pharmaceutical company commercializing and developing prescription products primarily focused on urology and men’s health. It commercializes its products via its own salesforce in the United States and Canada.

The company was able to obtain this increase by paying an advance of US$2.1 million yesterday under a secured grid promissory note with First Generation.

The loan has an interest rate of 8.00 per cent per year and Acerus needs to pay it in full by December 31, 2024. The company stated it will use the proceeds for ongoing general working capital.

According to Acerus, it was unanimously determined that the amendment to the loan facility was in the best interests of Acerus.

The company also announced it continues to be actively engaged in the process of securing additional capital and expects to provide a progress update in the next few weeks.

Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation (ASP) is unchanged trading at $3.00 per share as of 12:25 p.m. ET.
