InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Hemostemix
Inc.
("Hemostemix"
or the "Company")
(TSXV: HEM; OTC: HMTXF) announces it has closed its
previously announced non-brokered private
placement of units ("Units")
announced
on April 9,
2021, for gross proceeds
of $440,031.90
(the
"Offering").
The
Offering consisted
of the
issuance of an aggregate of 1,257,234
Units at
a price of $0.35 per
Unit. Each Unit consists of
one common
share
in
the
capital
of
the
Company
("Common
Share")
and
one
transferable
common
share
purchase
warrant
("Warrant"),
with
each
full
Warrant
entitling the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of
$0.40
per
Common Share for a period of 24
months
from the closing of the Offering, subject to the accelerated expiry
provision described below.
If, on
any 10 consecutive trading days occurring after four
months and one day has elapsed following the
closing date of
the Offering, the closing
sales price of the Common Shares (or the closing
bid, if no sales were reported on a trading day)
as quoted on the TSX Venture Exchange
("Exchange")
is
greater than $0.48
per
Common Share, the Company may provide notice in writing to the
holders of the Warrants by issuance of a
press release that the expiry date of
the Warrants will be accelerated to the 30th
day after
the date on which the Company issues such press release.
In
connection with the Offering, the Company paid eligible finders
aggregate cash finders fees of approximately $26,082.56
and
issued 74,522
finder's
options to purchase Common Shares
of
the
Company at an exercise price of $0.35 per Common Share
within 24
months
from the closing date of the Offering.
Proceeds
from the
Offering are expected to be used to pay finder fees
payable in connection with the Offering,
clinical
trial costs accounts payable and for general working capital
purposes.
The participation
of certain
directors
in the
Offering constitutes a "related party transaction" within the
meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection
of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions
("MI
61-101") and the policies
of the TSXV. The Company is relying upon the exemptions from the
formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements
pursuant to sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, of MI
61-101 on the basis that the Company is not listed on a specified
stock exchange and, at the time the Offering was agreed to, neither
the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market
value of the consideration for, the transaction insofar as it
involves an
interested
party (within the meaning
of MI 61-101) in the Offering, exceeds 25% of the Company's market
capitalization calculated in accordance with MI 61-101.
The Offering is
subject to all necessary regulatory approvals including acceptance
from the Exchange. All securities issued in connection with the
Offering will be subject to a four-month hold period from the
closing date under applicable Canadian securities laws, in addition
to such other restrictions as may apply under applicable securities
laws of jurisdictions outside Canada.
