Bart Bandy, President and Chief Executive Officer of ReShape Lifesciences, commented, "The second quarter was an exceptional one for the Company. In this period, we completed our highly anticipated merger with Obalon Therapeutics, increased visibility in the financial markets by listing on the Nasdaq and bolstered our diverse product portfolio with the launch of our online wellness hub, ReShape MarketPlace. In addition, we restructured our balance sheet closing a $46 million funding round which has now enabled our team to focus on further growth initiatives within the weight loss industry."
Mr. Bandy continued, "Additionally, we proactively addressed operational efficiency concerns by shifting the manufacturing of the Lap-Band to a US-based firm. We believe this series of positive events clearly indicate a path of positive transformation for ReShape."
