required approvals of that exchange, as well as notice of the
listing of the Common Shares on Nasdaq in accordance with the rules
of that exchange, and there can be no assurance as to whether or
when the Offering may be completed.
The net proceeds of the Offering are expected to
be used: (i) to fund the continued commercialization of the
TULSA-PRO® system in the United States, (ii) to fund the continued
development and commercialization of the TULSA-PRO® system and the

About Profound Medical
Corp.
Profound is a commercial-stage medical device
company that develops and markets customizable, incision-free
therapies for the ablation of diseased tissue.
Profound is commercializing TULSA-PRO®, a
technology that combines real-time MRI, robotically-driven
transurethral ultrasound and closed-loop temperature feedback
control. TULSA-PRO® is designed to provide customizable and
predictable radiation-free ablation of a surgeon-defined prostate
volume while actively protecting the urethra and rectum to help
preserve the patient’s natural functional abilities.
TULSA-PRO® has the potential to be a flexible technology in
customizable prostate ablation, including intermediate stage
cancer, localized radio-recurrent cancer, retention and hematuria
palliation in locally advanced prostate cancer, and the transition
zone in large volume benign prostatic hyperplasia (“BPH”).
TULSA-PRO® is CE marked, Health Canada approved, and 510(k)
cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”).
Profound is also commercializing Sonalleve®, an
innovative therapeutic platform that is CE marked for the treatment
of uterine fibroids and palliative pain treatment of bone
metastases. Sonalleve® has also been approved by the China
National Medical Products Administration for the non-invasive
treatment of uterine fibroids and has FDA approval under a
Humanitarian Device Exemption for the treatment of osteoid osteoma.
The Company is in the early stages of exploring additional
potential treatment markets for Sonalleve® where the
technology has been shown to have clinical application, such as
non-invasive ablation of abdominal cancers and hyperthermia for
cancer therapy.
