Headquartered in Maryland, US, the company had its initial public offering (IPO) in 2016, with an underwritten public offering of 15,800,000 shares of its common stock at $2.85 a share. Leerink Partners LLC and Canaccord Genuity acted as joint book-running managers for the offering, with Raymond James & Associates as lead manager and BTIG LLC as co-manager.
In February 2022, Senseonics’ Eversense E3 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System, touted as the first and only such CGM system, was approved for use for up to six months by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The technology was reported to be available to patients in the US by the second quarter of 2022 through Senseonics’ global commercial partner, Ascensia Diabetes Care
The company’s partnership with Ascencia began in August 2020, when the pair announced a collaboration and commercialisation agreement that made Ascencia the sole distributor of Senseonics’ Eversense CGM systems worldwide. At that same time, Seseonics announced a financing agreement with Ascencia’s parent company, Masters Special Situations. The two agreements collectively made for $80m of debt and equity capital.
