The remaining $7,000,000 is expected to be paid on or prior to June 7, 2019, at which time a further 7 Series 1 Preferred Shares will be issuable to the subscriber.

Zomedica intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for the continued development of its diagnostic platforms and therapeutic candidates, including the payment of milestone payments under the Company’s existing license and collaboration agreements, and other general corporate and working capital purposes.

The Company is authorized to issue up to 20 Series 1 Preferred Shares. Each Series 1 Preferred Share has a stated value of $1,000,000. The Series 1 Preferred Shares do not have voting rights except to the extent required by applicable law and are not convertible into the Company’s common shares. Holders of the Series 1 Preferred Shares will not be entitled to dividends but, in lieu thereof, will receive annual payments (the “Net Sales Payments”) equal to nine percent of the net sales (as defined in the Series 1 Preferred Shares Terms and Conditions), if any, of the Company and its affiliates until such time as the holders have received total payments equal to nine times the aggregate stated value of the Series 1 Preferred Shares. The Company has the right to redeem the outstanding Series 1 Preferred Shares at any time at a redemption price equal to nine times the aggregate stated value of the Series 1 Preferred Shares outstanding less the aggregate amount of the Net Sales Payments paid (the “Redemption Amount”). In the event of a fundamental transaction (as defined in the Series 1 Preferred Shares Terms and Conditions) the holders of the Series 1 Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive consideration for their Series 1 Preferred Shares equal to a multiple of the stated value of the Series 1 Preferred Shares ranging from 5.0 to 9.0 depending on the timing of the fundamental transaction, subject to a cap equal to the Redemption Amount.
