NurExone Biologic Inc. (TSXV: NRX), (OTCQB: NRXBF), (Germany: J90)
(the “
Company” or “
NurExone”), a
biopharmaceutical company developing exosome-based therapies for
the multi-billion dollar regenerative medicinei market, is pleased
to announce a non-brokered private placement of up to 3,636,363
units (“
Units”) at a price of $0.55 per Unit for
aggregate gross proceeds of up to $2,000,000 (the
“
Offering”) and will, on acceptance of the TSX
Venture Exchange (“
TSXV”), close on a first
tranche of the Offering for gross proceeds of $1,610,147.55. The
Company intends to use the proceeds of the Offering for working
capital purposes.
Dr. Lior Shaltiel, Chief Executive Officer of
the Company noted that, “we appreciate the continued support of our
existing shareholders, who recognize the milestones we’ve achieved
as we advance toward the use of loaded exosomes as regenerative
therapy for the multi-billion-dollar markets of acute spinal cord
injuries and optic nerve damage. Their participation in the
Offering reflects confidence in our strategic direction and
long-term growth potential, as we move ahead on the path to our
clinical and commercial goals.”
Each Unit will consist of (i) one common share
in the capital of the Company (each, a “Common
Share”), and (ii) one Common Share purchase warrant (each,
a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder
thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.70 per Common
Share for a period of 36 months, subject to acceleration. If the
daily volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on
the TSXV for any period of 10 consecutive trading days equals or
exceeds $1.05, the Company may, upon providing written notice to
the holders of the Warrants (the “Acceleration
Notice”), accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to a
date not less than 30 days following the date of the Acceleration
Notice. If the Warrants are not exercised by the applicable
accelerated expiry date, the Warrants will expire and be of no
further force or effect.
Closing of the Offering is subject to receipt of
all necessary regulatory approvals, including TSXV, and all
securities issued thereunder will be subject to a statutory hold
period of four months and one day from the closing of the
Offering.
Related Party Transaction
The Offering may constitute a “related party
transaction”, as such term is defined in Multilateral Instrument
61-101 – Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special
Transactions (“MI 61-101”) as certain
insiders of the Company may subscribe in the Offering, and would
require the Company to receive minority shareholder approval for,
and obtain a formal valuation for the subject matter of, the
transaction in accordance with MI 61-101, prior to the completion
of each such transaction. However, the Company expects such
participation would be exempt from the formal valuation and
minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as the fair
market value of the Units subscribed for by the insiders, nor the
consideration for the Units paid by such insiders, would exceed 25%
of the Company's market capitalization.
Closing of the First
Tranche
The Company is also pleased to announce the
closing of the first tranche of the Offering for gross proceeds of
$1,610,147.55 from the issuance of 2,927,541 Units. All securities
issued pursuant to the first tranche of the Offering are subject to
a statutory hold period of four months and one day.
