Proven Healthcare Leader with Capital Markets Expertise to Support Strategic Expansion; Personal Investment Signals Strong Conviction in Company’s Strategic Growth
EDEN PRAIRIE, MINN. - March 3, 2026 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: NMTC) (“NeuroOne” or the “Company”), a medical technology company dedicated to transforming the surgical diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders, today announced that David Wambeke has joined the Company as Chief Business Officer and concurrently purchased 1,000,000 shares of NeuroOne common stock.
Mr. Wambeke will lead NeuroOne’s drug delivery program and work closely with the executive team to advance the Company’s clinical development and commercialization strategy. His responsibilities will include refining product requirements for preclinical and clinical-stage devices, expanding relationships with key opinion leaders in targeted disease areas, and engaging prospective pharmaceutical partners to maximize the strategic value of the Company’s emerging drug delivery platform.
Mr. Wambeke will also oversee investor relations, strengthening the Company’s market communication and broadening engagement with the investment community. Additionally, he will support strategic business development initiatives, including partnerships and other strategic corporate transactions.
“David brings a rare combination of public company experience, capital markets expertise, and a demonstrated ability to translate strategic vision into operational and clinical execution,” said Dave Rosa, CEO of NeuroOne. “As we continue to execute on our strategy and expand awareness of NeuroOne’s technology platform, we believe David will be instrumental in sharpening our messaging, deepening investor engagement, and advancing business development activities that support long-term value creation.”
Mr. Wambeke most recently served as Chief Business Officer at DiaMedica Therapeutics, where he led the strategic expansion of the company’s lead biologic into preeclampsia, a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy. He established and oversaw a first-in-pregnancy Phase 2 clinical trial that delivered positive results and contributed to substantial shareholder value creation. Prior to DiaMedica, he spent approximately 16 years at Craig-Hallum Capital Group in life sciences investment banking, advising public and private healthcare companies on equity financings, M&A, and strategic transactions. He began his career in the U.S. Army and during a deployment in Baghdad, Iraq, Mr. Wambeke was wounded in combat and awarded the Purple Heart. Mr. Wambeke received a B.S. from the University of Minnesota.
“I’m excited to join NeuroOne at such a pivotal moment and to meaningfully align myself with shareholders through my investment,” said Mr. Wambeke. “With four FDA 510(k)-cleared devices and a strategic partnership with Zimmer Biomet, NeuroOne has validated its platform technology and established a strong commercial foundation in epilepsy and trigeminal nerve applications. As the Company continues to scale commercialization across these cleared indications, I believe even greater opportunities lie ahead in basivertebral ablation, drug delivery, and spinal cord stimulation.”
Purchase of Common Shares
In conjunction with his appointment, Mr. Wambeke purchased 1,000,000 shares of NeuroOne’s common stock at a purchase price of $0.6704 per share, representing the closing price of the Company’s common stock on February 27, 2026. NeuroOne intends to use the net proceeds from this sale to support ongoing clinical and product development activities, as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.

This release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the Company’s securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
