Titan Medical Provides Corporate Update

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - September 27, 2016) - Titan Medical Inc. (TSX: TMD) (OTCQX: TITXF), a medical device company focused on the design and development of a robotic surgical system for application in minimally invasive surgery (MIS), today provided an update of corporate activities and operational progress.

On September 20 2016, Titan completed a public offering of units which raised approximately US $7.2 million from US and Canadian investors. As a result of the transaction, management currently anticipates closing the third quarter ending September 30, 2016 with approximately US $8.5 million in cash.

"As a result of the recent fund raising, we have initiated active discussions with our principal development partners to implement key components of the SPORT Surgical System's development plans within our current financial resources," said John Hargrove, Chief Executive Officer. "At this point, we believe the resources we have on hand enable us to move forward with the advancement of human factors and usability studies of the surgical system."

As part of the succession plan for senior management, Titan has engaged an executive search firm for the purpose of assisting in the identification and qualification of a Chief Operating Officer, whose responsibilities will include capital markets involvement, and a Vice President of Engineering to assist in product development and project management.

In addition to the operational activities, that management is focused on, the Board continues its active search to recruit a new Chairperson. We are also continuing an ongoing program of board renewal. As we achieve operational and development milestones, as well as the progress regarding our Chairperson search, we will promptly inform our shareholders.
