The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces that it is investigating claims on behalf of investors in Vapotherm, Inc. (“Vapotherm” or “the Company”) (OTC: VAPO) for potential breaches of fiduciary duty on the part of its directors and management.

The investigation focuses on determining if the Vapotherm board breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders. The Company announced on June 17, 2024, that it “has signed a definitive merger agreement with a newly-formed entity organized and funded by an affiliate of Perceptive Advisors, LLC, a leading health care investment firm ('Perceptive'), and its Perceptive Discovery Fund. Concurrently with the entry into the definitive merger agreement, our existing lender, investment affiliates managed by SLR Capital Partners ('SLR') have agreed to convert approximately $81.0 million of term debt into preferred equity of the newly-formed entity, and Perceptive will invest $50.0 million of new preferred equity capital into the business, a portion of which will be used to fund the merger consideration and make certain closing-related payments. SLR will retain $40.0 million of term debt.”
