(via TheNewswire)
Toronto, Ontario / TheNewswire / September 14, 2018 - Ventripoint Diagnostics Ltd. ("Ventripoint" or the "Company", TSXV:VPT) announces that, further to its news release of September 4, 2018, it has closed the second and final tranche (the "Final Tranche") of its non-brokered private placement announced on August 15, 2018 (the "Private Placement").
In the Final Tranche, the Company issued 2,435,714 units ("Units") at $0.21 per Unit for gross proceeds of $511,499.94. Each Unit consists of one common share of Ventripoint ("Common Share") and one-half of one Common Share warrant ("Warrant"). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional Common Share at a price of $0.34 per Common Share for a period of 2 years after the issuance of the Warrant. The Company has raised aggregate gross proceeds of $1,011,499.94 under the Private Placement. No Finder's Fees were paid.
Dr. George Adams, the Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Corporation, subscribed for 1,500,000 Units (the "Insider Units") in the Private Placement. Such subscription 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 Policy 5.9 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). The Corporation is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements available under MI 61-101. A material change report in respect of the Related Party Transaction will be filed by the Corporation but could not be filed earlier than 21 days prior to its completion due to the fact that the transaction is still subject to confirmation by the TSXV of the suitability of the acquirer of the Insider Units.
The Corporation will use the proceeds of the Private Placement for sales and marketing, development and general working capital purposes.
The Common Shares and the Warrants issued pursuant to the Private Placement, and any Common Shares issued upon the exercise of Warrants, would be subject to a hold period of four months plus one day from the date of issuance, except as permitted by applicable securities legislation and the rules of the TSXV.
