The Offering was made pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated February 8, 2019 with a syndicate of underwriters led by Bloom Burton Securities Inc., together with Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. and Dominick Capital Corporation (collectively, the “Underwriters”).
Each Unit was comprised of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each full warrant is exercisable to purchase one Common Share at any time prior to February 27, 2022 at a price of $0.35 per Common Share.
The units were offered and sold by way of a short form prospectus filed in each of the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, and Saskatchewan. The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund research and development activities, including but not limited to, ATB-346’s clinical development, regulatory consulting fees, working capital needs and other general corporate purposes.
As consideration for the services rendered by the Underwriters in connection with the Offering, the Company has paid the Underwriters a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised under the Offering and has granted the Underwriters non-transferable broker warrants equal to 7% of the number of Units sold under the Offering exercisable at any time prior to February 27, 2021 at an exercise price equal to the Offering Price.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Units in any jurisdiction, nor will there be any offer or sale of the Units in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The Units have not and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any U.S. state securities laws and, therefore, may not be offered or sold to, or for the benefit or account of, persons within the United States or “U.S. persons” (as such term is defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) except pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
