Based on holders of subscription rights who exercised their basic subscription rights in full and subscribed for additional shares of common stock pursuant to the over subscription privilege, the rights offering was fully subscribed.

"We are pleased to have completed this fully subscribed shareholder rights offering, a clear testament to our solid shareholder support and appreciation of our growth opportunity," said John C. Houghton, President, hief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer. He added, "The net proceeds from this offering will enable Nephros to further pursue the commercialization of our high performance liquid purification filters and our on-line mid-dilution hemodiafiltration system as we continue to gain momentum and further execute our growth strategy."



About Nephros, Inc.

Nephros is a commercial stage medical device company that develops and sells high performance liquid purification filters. Our filters, which we call ultrafilters, are primarily used in dialysis centers for the removal of biological contaminants from water, bicarbonate concentrate and/or blood.


We were founded in 1997 by healthcare professionals affiliated with Columbia University Medical Center/New York-Presbyterian Hospital to develop and commercialize an alternative method to hemodialysis (HD). We have extended our filtration technologies to meet the demand for liquid purification in other areas, in particular water purification.

Presently, we offer ultrafilters for sale to customers in five markets:

  • Dialysis Centers - Water/Bicarbonate: Filtration of water or bicarbonate concentrate used in hemodialysis devices
  • Dialysis Centers - Blood: Treatment of patients with chronic renal failure using the OLPur H2H Hemodiafiltration ("HDF") Module in conjunction with a UF controlled hemodialysis machine and its accessories, the H2H Module accessories, appropriately prepared water and ultrapure dialysate for hemodialysis and the OLPur MD 220 Hemodiafilter
  • Hospitals and Other Healthcare Facilities: Filtration of water to be used for patient washing and drinking as an aid in infection control. The filters also produce water that is suitable for wound cleansing, cleaning of equipment used in medical procedures and washing of surgeon's hands
  • Military and Outdoor Recreation: Highly compact, individual water purification devices used by soldiers and backpackers to produce drinking water in the field
  • Commercial Facilities: Filtration of water for washing and drinking including use in ice machines and soda fountains
