RAMAT GAN, Israel (May 10, 2013) – LabStyle Innovations Corp. (OTCQB:DRIO), developer of the Dario™ smartphone-based medical device and diabetes management system, announces the final closing of its previously announced common stock and warrant private placement financing.  As previously disclosed in a Form 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), LabStyle conducted an initial closing of this financing on April 5, 2013.

In this financing, LabStyle raised gross proceeds of $10.0 million from a significant number of accredited investors through the sale of an aggregate of 4.0 million shares of LabStyle’s common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 2.0 million shares of LabStyle common stock at a price of $2.50 for one share and one-half of a warrant.  The warrants have an exercise price of $5.00 per share and an expiration date of April 4, 2016.

Net proceeds from the financing are approximately $9.0 million.  LabStyle plans to use these proceeds primarily to support key manufacturing and marketing initiatives required for the anticipated 2013 commercial launch of its Dario product in Europe.  Such launch is pending applicable regulatory approvals, which LabStyle anticipates receiving in the coming months.

“We believe that the strong and broad investor demand that made this financing possible is reflective of the commercial potential of our Dario diabetes management system,” said Dr. Oren Fuerst, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LabStyle Innovations.  “With a strengthened balance sheet, we believe we are in an excellent position to fund the activities that will enable us to achieve a number of key milestones this year, including, most importantly, the anticipated commercial launch of Dario in the U.K. and mainland Europe.  In particular, this fresh capital will permit the critical scale-up of manufacturing to address the anticipated demand for Dario.”

“We are currently awaiting CE mark approval for Dario, which will enable us to market the product throughout Europe.  In anticipation of our commercial launch, we recently announced our agreement with Farla Medical, a leading U.K. medical supplies distributor, so that we can begin selling Dario in the U.K. quickly upon receipt of regulatory clearance.  We also plan to initiate sales via multiple channels (via distribution partners and direct-to-consumers sales) in additional principal countries in Europe, as well as to progress partnering agreements in select Asian and Latin American countries.  Our plans for 2013 also include, partnering with leading medical institutions and opinion leaders, accelerating our intellectual property programs and preparing our 510(k) application for regulatory clearance of Dario by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration” concluded Dr. Fuerst.

Aegis Capital Corp. served as the placement agent for the financing.  Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP acted as LabStyle’s counsel in the financing.

The securities sold in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act), and may not be resold absent registration under or exemption from the Act.  This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.
