The company will remain in the halt until March 22 or when an announcement with more information is released, whichever occurs first.
Nyrada is yet to disclose how much it intends to raise or what it will do with the funds once they have been received.
On February 1, Nyrada partnered with the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research and UNSW Sydney for a preclinical program.
This partnership will determine whether Nyrada’s leading neuroprotection compound drug can reduce the damaging effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Besides neurosurgery and physical rehabilitation, there are currently no treatments for TBI — representing a significant, unmet need.

Additionally, the company spent $557,838 on corporate and administration activities.
As of December 31, Nyrada had a cash position of just over $4.05 million.
Shares in Nyrada last traded at 31.5 cents on March 16. The company has a $34.91 million market cap.
