Ra Medical Systems Announces Proposed Name and Ticker Symbol Changes
Name change to Catheter Precision, Inc. expected to become effective on August 17, 2023, with trading under new ticker symbol VTAK expected to begin on August 18, 2023
FORT MILL, SC / ACCESSWIRE / July 31, 2023 / Ra Medical Systems, Inc. (NYSE:RMED) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved changing the Company's corporate name to "Catheter Precision, Inc." The effective date of the name change is expected to be August 17, 2023. The Company has reserved the ticker symbol "VTAK" with the NYSE American, and the Company's common stock is expected to begin trading on the NYSE American under its new name and the new trading symbol effective as of the market open on August 18, 2023. The Company's new website will be unveiled shortly in conjunction with the name change. For now, investors can continue to visit www.ramed.com.
David Jenkins, interim CEO of RMED, commented, "The changing of our name signifies the nearing of the completion of our conversion to a company focused solely on cardiac electrophysiology, and away from our previous laser catheter business. We have shut down that previous business and no longer market any of those legacy products."
Jenkins continued, "VTAK is a symbol chosen because of its similarity to V-Tach, a shortened version of Ventricular Tachyarrhythmia, also known as VT. VT, a fast heartbeat of the ventricle, is a disease state which falls under the purview of our VIVO product, where we show, in a 3D computer model of the heart, the earliest electrical activation of the VT. The name VIVO itself is an anachronym for ‘View Into Ventricular Onset'."
