Titan Medical Inc. (“
Titan”) (TSX: TMD; OTC:
TMDIF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a third
amending agreement dated August 13, 2024 (the “
Amending
Agreement No. 3”), in respect of the previously announced
amalgamation agreement dated March 17, 2024, as previously amended
on May 28, 2024 and on July 5, 2024 (collectively, the
“
Amalgamation Agreement”) among Conavi Medical
Inc. (“
Conavi”), 1000824255 Ontario Inc. (a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Titan) and Titan, to result in the
merger of Conavi and Titan (the “
Proposed
Transaction”). In addition, Titan announces that the
Toronto Stock Exchange (“
TSX”) has granted Titan
an extension to hold its Annual General and Special Meeting of
Shareholders (the “
AGM”) on or before September
30, 2024.
Amending Agreement No. 3
The Amending Agreement No. 3 alters certain
closing conditions that must be met in the Amalgamation Agreement,
being:
- extending the
Outside Date (as such term is defined in the Amalgamation
Agreement) for completion of the Proposed Transaction to October
10, 2024;
- extending the
date by which the Concurrent Financing (as such term is defined in
the Amalgamation Agreement) must be committed to September 3,
2024;
- reducing the
minimum aggregate size of the Concurrent Financing (as such term is
defined in the Amalgamation Agreement) from $15 million to $7.5
million;
- extending the
date by which Conavi financial statements must be completed to
August 23, 2024;
- reducing the
minimum net cash Titan must have at the Effective Time (as such
term is defined in this Amalgamation Agreement) from US$5 million
to US$2 million;
- extending the
targeted date by which the information circular for the Titan AGM
must be mailed to shareholders to September 3, 2024;
- extending the
targeted date by which the Titan AGM must be held to September 30,
2024;
- extending the
targeted date by which the information circular for the Conavi
annual general meeting must be mailed to shareholders to September
3, 2024; and
- extending the
targeted date by which the Conavi annual general meeting must be
held to September 30, 2024.
The Amending Agreement No. 3 also makes certain
technical and mechanical amendments which, among other things,
provide for the conversion of Conavi preferred shares into Conavi
common shares and the consolidation of Conavi shares immediately
prior to the Effective Time, which provide for the exchange of
Conavi warrants to be issued in connection with the Concurrent
Financing for warrants of the resulting issuer upon completion of
the Proposed Transaction, and which provide for the expiry of
out-of-the-money Conavi options at the Effective Time.
AGM Extension
As previously disclosed in a press release dated
July 5, 2024, Titan applied to the TSX to extend its AGM to a date
on or before September 30, 2024. The extension will allow Titan and
Conavi additional time to finalize matters related to the Proposed
Transaction (which will require the approval of Titan’s
shareholders). In order to avoid the potential duplication of costs
associated with having two meetings within a short timeframe,
Titan’s management determined that postponing the AGM was in the
best interest of its shareholders.
Titan intends to schedule a date for the AGM as
soon as practicable and to provide shareholders with the requisite
notice of meeting and record date associated therewith.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Information
This news release contains “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian and U.S.
securities laws, which reflect the current expectations of
management of Titan’s future growth, results of operations,
performance and business prospects and opportunities.
Forward-looking statements are frequently, but not always,
identified by words such as “may”, “would”, “could”, “will”,
“anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”,
“potential for” and similar expressions, although these words may
not be present in all forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements that appear in this release may include, without
limitation, references to: the continued work of Titan and Conavi
towards the completion of the Proposed Transaction, delisting from
the TSX and listing on the TSXV, preparation of the information
circular for the Proposed Transaction, and Conavi’s Concurrent
Financing.
These forward-looking statements reflect
management’s current beliefs with respect to future events, and are
based on information currently available to management that, while
considered reasonable by management as of the date on which the
statements are made, are inherently subject to significant
business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies
which could result in actions, events, conditions, results,
performance or achievements to be materially different from those
projected in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements involve significant risks, uncertainties and assumptions
and many factors could cause Titan’s actual results, performance or
achievements to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by
such forward-looking statements. Such factors and assumptions
include, but are not limited to, Titan’s ability to retain key
personnel; its ability to execute on its business plans and
strategies; its ability to continue to license some or all its
intellectual property to third parties and receive any material
consideration; the receipt of required approvals from the TSXV and
Titan’s shareholders in connection with the Proposed Transaction or
change of listing or as to the success of Conavi’s Concurrent
Financing (or the terms upon which such financing may be available
if at all) and other factors listed in the “Risk Factors” section
of Titan’s Annual Information Form for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2023 (which may be viewed at www.sedarplus.com).
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or
should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove
incorrect, actual results, performance, or achievements may vary
materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements contained in this news release. These factors should be
considered carefully, and prospective investors should not place
undue reliance on the forward-looking statements.
Although the forward-looking statements
contained in the news release are based upon what management
currently believes to be reasonable assumptions and Titan has
attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual
actions, events, conditions, results, performance or achievements
to differ materially from those described in forward-looking
statements, Titan cannot assure prospective investors that actual
results, performance or achievements will be consistent with these
forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, Titan
expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise
any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors
should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. All
the forward-looking statements are expressly qualified by the
foregoing cautionary statements.
