The form was filed on Oct. 27.

North Carolina is home to over 600 biotech companies including 350 in research and development and 110 in production and manufacturing.

In 2013, NeuroTronik closed a $13.1 million Series A to develop a device that treats heart failure with neuromodulation. The company hopes to meet the need of 1.2 million patients with acute heart failure in the U.S. per year.

This filing was a new notice with the first day of sale being Oct. 17.

The offer is not being made in connection with a business combination transaction such as a merger or acquisition. None of the gross proceeds will be used as payment for executive officers or directors.

NeuroTronik claimed a Rule 506 (b) exemption. Companies relying on the Rule 506 exemption do not have to register their offering of securities with the SEC, but they must file what’s known as a Form D electronically with the SEC after they first sell their securities.
