BriaCell Therapeutics Corp.

 

BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (the “Company” or “BriaCell”) is offering an aggregate of 5,128,500 Units (“Units”), each Unit consisting of (i) one common share, no par value, of the Company (the “common shares”), and (ii) one warrant to purchase one common share (the “Warrants”). Each Unit will be sold at a purchase price of $0.975 per Unit. Units will not be issued or certificated. The Warrants will have an exercise price of $0.85 per share and will be exercisable immediately following closing for a period of five years. The common shares and the Warrants are immediately separable and will be issued separately. We are also registering up to 256,425 placement agent warrants to purchase up to 256,425 common shares and the common shares underlying such placement agent warrants. This prospectus supplement also relates to the offering of the common shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants issued in this offering.

 

The Units, the Warrants and the common shares are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.”

 

We have engaged ThinkEquity LLC (the “placement agent” or “ThinkEquity”) to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering. The placement agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus supplement. The placement agent is not purchasing or selling any of the securities we are offering and the placement agent is not required to arrange the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of securities. We have agreed to pay placement agent fees to the placement agent as set forth in the table below, which assumes that we sell all of the securities offered by this prospectus supplement. Since we will deliver the securities to be issued in this offering upon our receipt of investor funds, there is no arrangement for funds to be received in escrow, trust or similar arrangement. There is no minimum offering requirement as a condition of closing of this offering. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing this offering, we may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us, and investors in this offering will not receive a refund in the event that we do not sell an amount of securities sufficient to pursue our business goals described in this prospectus supplement. In addition, because there is no escrow account and no minimum offering amount, investors could be in a position where they have invested in our company, but we are unable to fulfill all of our contemplated objectives due to a lack of interest in this offering. Further, any proceeds from the sale of securities offered by us will be available for our immediate use, despite uncertainty about whether we would be able to use such funds to effectively implement our business plan. See the section entitled “Risk Factors” for more information. We will bear all costs associated with the offering. See “Plan of Distribution” on page S-22 of this prospectus supplement for more information regarding these arrangements.

 

Our common shares are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market and Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbols “BCTX” and “BCT,” respectively, and our public warrants are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BCTXW.” On September 30, 2024, the last reported sale price of our common shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market was $1.24 per share and the last reported sale price of our public warrants was $0.41 per warrant. There is no established trading market for the Units or Warrants and we do not expect a market to develop. We do not intend to apply for a listing for the Units or Warrants on any securities exchange or other national recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the Warrants will be limited.

 

We are an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company under Rule 405 of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein and future filings.

 

Investing in these securities involves certain risks. See “Risk Factors” on page S-16 of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, as well as the risk factors incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus should carefully consider before deciding to purchase these securities.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or accompanying base prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

The securities offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus have not been and will not be qualified for sale under the securities laws of any province or territory of Canada or to any resident of Canada and may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in Canada, or to or for the account of any resident of Canada. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus have not been filed in respect of, and will not qualify, any distribution of these securities in any province or territory of Canada.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

 

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus are part of a registration statement that we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) utilizing a “shelf” registration process. This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of this offering and also adds to and updates information contained in the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein. The second part, the accompanying base prospectus, provides more general information. Generally, when we refer to this prospectus, we are referring to both parts of this document combined. To the extent there is a conflict between the information contained in this prospectus supplement and the information contained in the accompanying base prospectus or any document incorporated by reference therein filed prior to the date of this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement; provided that if any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date - for example, a document incorporated by reference in the accompanying base prospectus - the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement.

 

We further note that the representations, warranties and covenants made by us in any agreement that is filed as an exhibit to any document that is incorporated by reference herein were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to such agreements, and should not be deemed to be a representation, warranty or covenant to you. Moreover, such representations, warranties or covenants were accurate only as of the date when made. Accordingly, such representations, warranties and covenants should not be relied on as accurately representing the current state of our affairs.

 

You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying base prospectus or incorporated by reference herein and therein. We have not authorized, and the placement agent has not authorized, anyone to provide you with information that is different. The information contained in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying base prospectus or incorporated by reference herein or therein is accurate only as of the respective dates thereof, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus or of any sale of our securities.

 

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus contain summaries of certain provisions contained in some of the documents described herein, but reference is made to the actual documents for complete information. All of the summaries are qualified in their entirety by the actual documents. Copies of some of the documents referred to herein have been filed, will be filed or will be incorporated herein by reference as exhibits to the registration statement, and you may obtain copies of those documents as described below in the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information.”

 

It is important for you to read and consider all information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, in making your investment decision. You should also read and consider the information in the documents to which we have referred you in the sections entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Documents by Reference” in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying base prospectus, respectively.

 

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus contain and incorporate by reference market data and industry statistics and forecasts that are based on independent industry publications and other publicly-available information. Although we believe these sources are reliable, we do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information and we have not independently verified this information. Although we are not aware of any misstatements regarding the market and industry data presented in this prospectus supplement, accompanying base prospectus or the documents incorporated herein by reference, these estimates involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, and under similar headings in the other documents that are incorporated herein by reference. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on this information.

 

We are offering to sell, and seeking offers to buy, the securities offered by this prospectus supplement only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted. The distribution of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus and the offering of the securities offered by this prospectus supplement in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus must inform themselves about, and observe any restrictions relating to, the offering of the securities and the distribution of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus outside the United States. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus do not constitute, and may not be used in connection with, an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus by any person in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful for such person to make such an offer or solicitation.

 

Trademarks, service marks or trade names of any other companies appearing in this prospectus supplement are the property of their respective owners. Use or display by us of trademarks, service marks or trade names owned by others is not intended to and does not imply a relationship between us and, or endorsement or sponsorship by, the owners of the trademarks, service marks or trade names.

 

When used herein, unless the context requires otherwise, references to the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “BriaCell” and “us” refer to BriaCell Therapeutics Corp., and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated or required by the context.

 

Enforceability of Civil Liabilities

 

We are incorporated under the laws of British Columbia. Some of our directors and officers, and the experts named in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, are residents of Canada or otherwise reside outside of the United States, and all or a substantial portion of their assets, and all or a substantial portion of our assets, are located outside of the United States. It may also be difficult for shareholders who reside in the United States to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon our civil liability and the civil liability of our directors, officers and experts under the United States federal securities laws. Furthermore, because substantially all of our assets and substantially all of our directors and officers are located outside the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of our directors and officers may not be collectible within the United States. There can be no assurance that United States investors will be able to enforce against us, members of our Board of Directors, officers or certain experts named herein who are residents of Canada or other countries outside the United States, any judgments in civil and commercial matters, including judgments under the federal securities laws.

 

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain information set forth in this prospectus supplement may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are intended to be covered by the “safe harbor” created by those sections. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “seek,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate” “strategy,” “future,” “likely” or other comparable terms and references to future periods. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this prospectus supplement regarding our strategies, prospects, financial condition, operations, costs, plans and objectives are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding: possible or assumed future results of our operations, including statements about potential acquisition or merger targets; business strategies; future cash flows; financing plans; plans and objectives of management; any other statements regarding future acquisitions, future cash needs, future operations, business plans and future financial results, and any other statements that are not historical facts.

 

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, known and unknown risks, changes in circumstances and other factors that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results, performance, achievements and financial condition may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. The forward looking statements contained herein and in the documents incorporated hereto by reference are presented for the purposes of assisting readers in understanding BriaCell’s expected financial and operating performance and BriaCell’s plans and objectives, and may not be appropriate for any other purpose.

 

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this prospectus supplement is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made.

 

We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable law. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. You should read this prospectus supplement, accompanying base prospectus, and the documents filed as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus are a part, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, merger, dispositions, joint ventures, spinouts or investments we may undertake. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RISK FACTORS

 

Investment in the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus involves risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors described below, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2023, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, and all other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act. These risks are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that affect us. The occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in securities.

 

Risks Related to This Offering

 

If we are unable to maintain listing of our securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market, the TSX or any stock exchange, our stock price could be adversely affected and the liquidity of our stock and our ability to obtain financing could be impaired and it may be more difficult for our shareholders to sell their securities. 

 

Although our common shares are currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market and the TSX, we may not be able to continue to meet the exchange’s minimum listing requirements or those of any other national exchange. If we are unable to maintain listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market or the TSX or if a liquid market for our common shares does not develop or is sustained, our common shares may remain thinly traded.

 

On July 3, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq indicating that, based upon the Company’s MVLS for the 33 consecutive business days from May 15, 2024, to July 2, 2024, the Company did not meet the minimum MVLS of $35,000,000 required for continued listing on Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2). The letter also indicated that the Company will be provided with the Compliance Period of 180 calendar days, or until December 30, 2024, in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C). If we regain compliance with the MVLS, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation to us and close the matter.

 

In the event that we do not regain compliance prior to the end of the Compliance Period, we will receive written notification that our securities are subject to delisting, at which point we may appeal the delisting determination.

 

In addition, on August 22, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s common shares have been below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).

 

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been given 180 calendar days, or until February 18, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

 

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by February 18, 2025, the Company may be afforded a second 180 calendar day period to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market (which the Company currently does not meet) with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during such additional compliance period, by effecting a reverse split of its common shares, if necessary. If it appears to the Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible for the additional compliance period, and the Company does not regain compliance by February 18, 2025, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its common shares are subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules.

 

If Nasdaq determines to delist our securities from trading on its exchange and we are unable to obtain listing on another national securities exchange, a reduction in some or all of the following may occur, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our shareholders:

 

●

the liquidity of our common shares;

●

the market price of our common shares;

●

our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations;

●

the number of investors that will consider investing in our common shares;

●

the number of market makers in our common shares;

●

the availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of our common shares; and

●

the number of broker-dealers willing to execute trades in shares of our common shares.

 

 

The sale of a substantial amount of our common shares could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common shares.

 

We are offering 5,128,500 Units and 5,128,500 common shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants. Sales of substantial amounts of our common shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common shares. Furthermore, in the future, we may issue additional common shares or other equity or debt securities convertible into common shares. Any such issuance could result in substantial dilution to our existing shareholders and could cause our share price to decline.

 

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering, you may not agree with how we use the proceeds, and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.

 

Our management will have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from any offering by us and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of this offering. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that the proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us.

 

Purchasers will experience immediate dilution in the book value per common share purchased in the offering.

 

The price of our common shares to be sold in this offering is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per common share. Therefore, if you purchase common shares in this offering, which form a part of the Units, you will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds our net tangible book value per share after this offering. After giving effect to the sale of an aggregate of 5,128,500 common shares and Warrants to purchase 5,128,500 common shares at a combined price of $0.975 per Unit, and after placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of April 30, 2024, would have been approximately $9.74 million, or approximately $0.27 per share. This represents an immediate increase in as adjusted net tangible book value of approximately $0.09 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value of approximately $0.71 per share to purchasers of our common shares in this offering, which form a part of the Units. The exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, as well as the Warrants being offered in this offering, will result in further dilution of your investment. See “Dilution” in this prospectus supplement for more information. 

 

 

This is a best efforts offering, no minimum number of securities is required to be sold, and we may not raise the amount of capital we believe is required for our business plans.

 

The placement agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase the Securities. The placement agent has no obligation to buy any of the securities from us or to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of the securities. There is no required minimum number of securities or amount of proceeds that must be sold as a condition to completion of this offering. Because there is no minimum number of securities or amount of proceeds required as a condition to the closing of this offering, the actual offering amount, placement agent fees and proceeds to us are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the maximum amounts set forth above. We may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us, and investors in this offering will not receive a refund in the event that we do not sell all of the Securities. Thus, we may not raise the amount of capital we believe is required for our operations in the short term and may need to raise additional funds, which may not be available or available on terms acceptable to us.

 

There is no public market for the Units or the Warrants being offered by us in this offering.

 

There is no established public trading market for the Units or the Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the Units or the Warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Warrants will be limited.  

 

Holders of the Warrants offered hereby will have no rights as shareholders with respect to common shares underlying the Warrants until such holders exercise their Warrants and acquire our common shares

 

Until holders of the Warrants acquire our common shares upon exercise thereof, such holders will have no rights with respect to the common shares underlying such Warrants. Upon exercise of the Warrants, the holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of a shareholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

 

Additional offerings in the future may dilute then existing shareholders’ percentage ownership of our company.

 

Given our plans and expectations that we will need additional capital, in the near future we may need to issue additional common shares or securities convertible or exercisable for common shares, including convertible preferred shares, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance of additional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then existing shareholders. Additionally, sales by existing shareholders of a large number of our common shares in the public market could also affect the market price of our common shares.

 

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

 

We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, which could affect our ability to compete.

 

We own patents, trademarks, copyrights, and other forms of intellectual property related to our business, and we license intellectual property rights from third parties. The U.S. Government generally receives non-exclusive licenses to certain intellectual property we develop. As a result, our intellectual property on which we depend and our access to and use of certain supplier intellectual property could be negatively affected.

 

Our intellectual property is also subject to challenge, invalidation, misappropriation, or circumvention by third parties. In the event of infringement of our intellectual property rights, breach of a confidentiality agreement, or unauthorized disclosure of proprietary information, we may not have adequate legal remedies to protect our intellectual property. Litigation to determine the scope of our rights, even if successful, could be costly and a diversion of management’s attention. In addition, trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently developed by competitors. If we are unable adequately to protect our intellectual property rights, our business could be adversely affected.

 

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of Securities by us in this offering will be approximately $4.23 million, after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital requirements, general corporate purposes and the advancement of business objectives. This expected use of the net proceeds from this offering and our existing cash represents our intentions based upon our current plans, financial condition and business conditions. The amount, timing and nature of specific expenditures of net proceeds from this offering will depend on a number of factors, including the timing, scope, progress and results of our development efforts and the timing and progress of any collaboration efforts. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses of the proceeds from this offering. Accordingly, we will retain broad discretion over the use of such proceeds.

 

DILUTION

 

Dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors is the amount by which the effective offering price per share paid by the purchasers of common shares, which form a part of the Unit, sold in this offering exceeds the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per common share after giving effect to the offering. We calculate net tangible book value per share by dividing our net tangible assets (tangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of common shares issued and outstanding as of April 30, 2024. As of April 30, 2024, our unaudited net tangible book value was negative $6.4 million or negative $0.41 per share.

 

Also, as of April 30, 2024, on a pro forma basis taking into account the issuance of 2,302,935 common shares and 100,000 prefunded warrants (which have been exercised into 100,000 common shares) for gross proceeds of $5,000,000 in a registered offering in May 2024 and the issuance of 12,325,000 common shares and 616,250 placement agent warrants for gross proceeds of $8,504,250 in a public offering in September 2024, we had pro forma net tangible book value of $12.3 million, corresponding to a pro forma net tangible book value of $0.18 per share.

 

 

After giving effect to the sale in this offering of 5,128,500 common shares and Warrants to purchase 5,128,500 common shares at a combined price of $0.975 per Unit, and after deducting the placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro-forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of April 30, 2024 would have been approximately $9.74 million, or $0.27 per common share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.09 per share to existing shareholders and immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $0.71 per share to new investors in this offering.

 

We calculate dilution per share to new investors by subtracting the pro-forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share from the offering price paid by the new investor. The following table illustrates the dilution to new investors on a per share basis:

 

Offering price per Unit		$	0.975
Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of April 30, 2024		$	0.18
Decrease in pro-forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering		$	0.09
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering		$	0.27
Dilution in pro-forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share in this offering		$	0.71

 

The foregoing calculations are as of April 30, 2024 and excludes as of such date:

 

	●	8,121,650 common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants, at a weighted average exercise price of $5.75;
	●	46,652 common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding compensation warrants, at a weighted average exercise price of $5.63;
	●	2,131,400 common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, at a weighted average exercise price of $6.16;
	●	19,200 common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding restricted share units, at a weighted average exercise price of $0.01;
	●	Up to 5,128,500 common shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants; and
	●	Up to 256,425 common shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants issued to the placement agent.

The exercise price and number of common shares issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common shares and the exercise price.

 

Exercisability

 

Each Warrant may be exercised, in cash or by a cashless exercise at the election of the holder at any time following the date of issuance until five years from the date of issuance. The Warrants will be exercisable in whole or in part by delivering to us a completed instruction form for exercise and complying with the requirements for exercise set forth in the Warrant. Payment of the exercise price may be made in cash or pursuant to a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of common shares determined according to the formula set forth in the Warrant.

 

Cashless Exercise

 

At the time a holder exercises its Warrants, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of common shares according to a formula set forth in the Warrants.

 

Exercise Limitation

 

In general, a holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of a Warrant if the holder (together with its Attribution Parties (as defined in the Warrant)) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% or 9.99%, at the election of the holder, of the number of common shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrant. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% upon notice to us, provided, that any increase in this limitation will not be effective until 61 days after such notice from the holder to us and such increase or decrease will apply only to the holder providing such notice.

 

Transferability

 

Subject to applicable laws, a Warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the Warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

 

Fractional Shares

 

No fractional common shares will be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants. Rather, the number of common shares to be issued will, at our election, either be rounded up to the nearest whole number or we will pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price.

 

Trading Market

 

There is no trading market available for the Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

 

 

Right as a Shareholder

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of common shares, the holders of the Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our common shares, including any voting rights, until they exercise their Warrants.

 

Fundamental Transactions

 

In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Warrants, and generally including, with certain exceptions, any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of our common shares, any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets, our merger or consolidation with or into another person, the acquisition of greater than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding common and preferred shares, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of greater than 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding common and preferred shares, the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise thereof the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. Additionally, as more fully described in the Warrants, in the event of certain fundamental transactions, the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to receive consideration in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Warrant) of the remaining unexercised portion of the Warrants on the date of consummation of such fundamental transaction.

 

Governing Law

 

The Warrants are governed by New York law.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We have engaged ThinkEquity LLC, or the placement agent, to act as our exclusive placement agent to solicit offers to purchase the Units offered by this prospectus supplement. The placement agent is not purchasing or selling any such securities, nor is it required to arrange for the purchase and sale of any specific number or dollar amount of such securities, other than to use its “reasonable best efforts” to arrange for the sale of such securities by us. Therefore, we may not sell all of the Units being offered. The terms of this offering are subject to market conditions and negotiations between us, the placement agent and prospective investors. The placement agent will have no authority to bind us by virtue of their placement agency agreement. This is a best efforts offering and there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to the closing of this offering. The placement agent may retain sub-agents and selected dealers in connection with this offering.

 

Delivery of the Units offered hereby is expected to occur on or about October 2, 2024, subject to satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions.

Our total estimated expenses of the offering, including registration, filing and listing fees, printing fees and legal and accounting expenses, but excluding placement agent commissions are approximately $417,500.

 

Placement Agent’s Warrants

 

Upon closing of this offering, we have agreed to issue the placement agent warrants to purchase up to 256,425 common shares (5% of the aggregate number of common shares sold in this offering). The placement agent warrants will be exercisable at a per share exercise price equal to 125% of the price per Unit in this offering. The placement agent warrants are exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, during a period commencing the date of closing and expiring on the five-year anniversary of the date of the placement agency agreement. We have registered the placement agent warrants and the common shares underlying the placement agent warrants in this offering.

 

Lock-Up Agreements

 

Pursuant to “lock-up” agreements, we and certain of our executive officers, directors and their affiliates have agreed, for a period of thirty (30) days, in the case of our company, and three (3) months, in the case of our directors and officers, from the date of this prospectus supplement, not to, directly or indirectly, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, grant, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of any of shares of our common shares (including any shares that such person acquires the power of disposition), enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of common shares, make any demand for or exercise any right or cause to be filed a registration statement, including any amendments thereto, with respect to the registration of any common shares or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common shares or any other of our securities or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement relating to such common shares, subject to customary exceptions, without the prior written consent of the placement agent.

 

 

Regulation M Compliance

 

The placement agent may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by it and any profit realized on the sale of our securities offered hereby by it while acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. The placement agent will be required to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases and sales of our securities by the placement agent. Under these rules and regulations, the placement agent may not (i) engage in any stabilization activity in connection with our securities; and (ii) bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities, other than as permitted under the Exchange Act, until they have completed their participation in the distribution.

 

Indemnification

 

We have agreed to indemnify the placement agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and liabilities arising from breaches of representations and warranties contained in our placement agency agreement with the placement agent. We have also agreed to contribute to payments the placement agent may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.

 

Market Listing

 

Our common shares are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market and the TSX under the symbol “BCTX” and “BCT,” respectively. We also have public warrants that are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BCTXW.” There is no established trading market for the Warrants, and we do not expect a trading market to develop.

 

Other Relationships

 

From time to time, the placement agent and/or its affiliates have received or may provide in the future, various advisory, investment and commercial banking and other services to us in the ordinary course of business. ThinkEquity has received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions. ThinkEquity acted as underwriter in our initial public offering that closed on February 26, 2021. ThinkEquity also acted as our placement agent in our private placement that closed on June 7, 2021 and as our placement agent in our registered direct offering that closed on September 12, 2024. However, except as disclosed in this prospectus supplement, we have no other present arrangements with the placement agent or any of its affiliates for any further services.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

 

This prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, using a “shelf” registration or continuous offering process. Under this shelf registration process, we may, from time to time, sell any combination of the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings up to a total aggregate offering price of $200,000,000.

 

This prospectus provides a general description of the securities we may offer. We may provide specific terms of securities to be offered in one or more supplements to this prospectus. We may also provide a specific plan of distribution for any securities to be offered in a prospectus supplement. Prospectus supplements may also add, update or change information in this prospectus.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain information set forth in this prospectus may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are intended to be covered by the “safe harbor” created by those sections. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “seek,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate” “strategy,” “future,” “likely” or other comparable terms and references to future periods. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this prospectus regarding our strategies, prospects, financial condition, operations, costs, plans and objectives are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding: possible or assumed future results of our operations, including statements about potential acquisition or merger targets; business strategies; future cash flows; financing plans; plans and objectives of management; any other statements regarding future acquisitions, future cash needs, future operations, business plans and future financial results, and any other statements that are not historical facts.

 

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, known and unknown risks, changes in circumstances and other factors that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results, performance, achievements and financial condition may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. The forward looking statements contained herein and in the documents incorporated hereto by reference are presented for the purposes of assisting readers in understanding BriaCell’s expected financial and operating performance and BriaCell’s plans and objectives, and may not be appropriate for any other purpose.

 

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this prospectus is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made.

 

We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable law. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. You should read this prospectus and the documents filed as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, merger, dispositions, joint ventures, spinouts or investments we may undertake. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

 

BriaCell Therapeutics Corp.

 

BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (the “Company”), is a clinical-stage biotechnology company that is developing novel immunotherapies to transform cancer care. Immunotherapies have come to the forefront in the fight against cancer as they harness the body’s own immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells. The Company is currently advancing its Bria-IMT™ targeted immunotherapy in combination with an immune check point inhibitor in a pivotal Phase 3 study in metastatic breast cancer. BriaCell recently reported benchmark-beating patient survival and clinical benefit in metastatic breast with median overall survival of 13.5 months in BriaCell’s metastatic breast cancer patients vs. 6.7-9.8 months for similar patients reported in the literature. A completed Bria-IMT™ Phase 1 combination study with retifanlimab (an anti-PD1 antibody manufactured by Incyte) confirmed tolerability and early-stage efficacy. BriaCell is also developing a personalized off-the-shelf immunotherapy, Bria-OTS™, which provides a platform technology to develop personalized off-the-shelf immunotherapies for numerous types of cancer, and a soluble CD80 protein therapeutic which acts both as a stimulator of the immune system as well as an immune checkpoint inhibitor.

 

 

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk, and there are various risk factors that could cause the Company’s future results to differ materially from those described in this prospectus. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider any risk factors set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including the factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and each subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and any risk factors set forth in our other filings with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Information We Incorporate By Reference.”. Each of the risks described in these documents could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment. If any of the risks described in these documents, or any other risks and uncertainties that we have not yet identified or that we currently consider not to be material, actually occur or become material risks, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and consequently the price of the common shares, could be materially and adversely affected. The risks discussed in these documents also include forward-looking statements and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. In addition, past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

 

Prospects for companies in the life sciences industry generally may be regarded as uncertain, given the research and development nature of the industry and uncertainty regarding the prospects of successfully commercializing product candidates. In particular, as the Company continues to progress with conducting clinical trials of its product candidates, including Bria-IMT^TM or Bria-OTS^TM, additional risk factors will arise and will be outlined in prospectus supplements as applicable.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will retain broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered hereby. Unless otherwise specified in any prospectus supplement, we currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our securities offered under this prospectus for working capital and general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, research and development studies and the patent and legal costs associated therewith, potential repurchase of certain of our issued shares and warrants and for general working capital purposes. Pending any specific application, we may initially invest funds in short-term marketable securities or apply them to the reduction of indebtedness. 

 

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

The following information describes the authorized share capital of the Company, as well as certain provisions of our articles, as amended (the “Articles”). This description is only a summary. You should also refer to our Articles, which have been filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Description of Warrants

 

General

 

The following description, together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the warrants that we may offer under this prospectus, which consist of warrants to purchase common shares. Warrants may be offered independently or together with common shares by any prospectus supplement and may be attached to or separate from those securities.

 

While the terms we have summarized below will generally apply to any future warrants we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any warrants that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The specific terms of any warrants may differ from the description provided below as a result of negotiations with third parties in connection with the issuance of those warrants, as well as for other reasons. Because the terms of any warrants we offer under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we describe below, you should rely solely on information in the applicable prospectus supplement if that summary is different from the summary in this prospectus.

 

We will issue the warrants under a warrant agreement, which we will enter into with a warrant agent to be selected by us. We use the term “warrant agreement” to refer to any of these warrant agreements. We use the term “warrant agent” to refer to the warrant agent under any of these warrant agreements. The warrant agent will act solely as an agent of ours in connection with the warrants and will not act as an agent for the holders or beneficial owners of the warrants.

 

We will incorporate by reference into the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, the form of warrant agreement, including a form of warrant certificate, which describes the terms of the series of warrants we are offering before the issuance of the related series of warrants. The following summaries of material provisions of the warrants and the warrant agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the warrant agreement applicable to a particular series of warrants. We urge you to read any applicable prospectus supplement related to the warrants that we sell under this prospectus, as well as the complete warrant agreement that contain the terms of the warrants and defines your rights as a warrant holder.

 

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms relating to a series of warrants. If warrants for the purchase of common shares are offered, the prospectus supplement will describe the following terms, to the extent applicable:

 

●	the offering price and the aggregate number of warrants offered;

 

 

●	the total number of shares that can be purchased if a holder of the warrants exercises them;
●	the number of warrants being offered with each common share;
●	the date on and after which the holder of the warrants can transfer them separately from the related common shares;
●	the number of common shares that can be purchased if a holder exercises the warrant and the price at which those shares may be purchased upon exercise, including, if applicable, any provisions for changes to or adjustments in the exercise price and in the securities or other property receivable upon exercise;
●	the terms of any rights to redeem or call, or accelerate the expiration of, the warrants;
●	the date on which the right to exercise the warrants begins and the date on which that right expires;
●	federal income tax consequences of holding or exercising the warrants; and
●	any other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of, or restrictions on, the warrants.

 

Warrants for the purchase of common shares will be in registered form only.

 

A holder of warrant certificates may exchange them for new certificates of different denominations, present them for registration of transfer and exercise them at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Until any warrants to purchase common shares are exercised, holders of the warrants will not have any rights of holders of the underlying common shares, including any rights to receive dividends or to exercise any voting rights, except to the extent set forth under “Warrant Adjustments” below.

 

Exercise of Warrants

 

Each holder of a warrant is entitled to purchase the number of common shares, as the case may be, at the exercise price described in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the day when the right to exercise terminates (or a later date if we extend the time for exercise), unexercised warrants will become void.

 

A holder of warrants may exercise them by following the general procedure outlined below:

 

●	deliver to the warrant agent the payment required by the applicable prospectus supplement to purchase the underlying security;
●	properly complete and sign the reverse side of the warrant certificate representing the warrants; and
●	deliver the warrant certificate representing the warrants to the warrant agent within five business days of the warrant agent receiving payment of the exercise price.

 

If you comply with the procedures described above, your warrants will be considered to have been exercised when the warrant agent receives payment of the exercise price, subject to the transfer books for the securities issuable upon exercise of the warrant not being closed on such date. After you have completed those procedures and subject to the foregoing, we will, as soon as practicable, issue and deliver to you the common shares that you purchased upon exercise. If you exercise fewer than all of the warrants represented by a warrant certificate, a new warrant certificate will be issued to you for the unexercised amount of warrants. Holders of warrants will be required to pay any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with transferring the underlying securities in connection with the exercise of the warrants.

 

 

Amendments and Supplements to the Warrant Agreements

 

We may amend or supplement a warrant agreement without the consent of the holders of the applicable warrants to cure ambiguities in the warrant agreement, to cure or correct a defective provision in the warrant agreement, or to provide for other matters under the warrant agreement that we and the warrant agent deem necessary or desirable, so long as, in each case, such amendments or supplements do not materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of the warrants.

 

Warrant Adjustments

 

Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, the exercise price of, and the number of securities covered by, a warrant for common shares will be adjusted proportionately if we subdivide or combine our common shares, as applicable. In addition, unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, if we, without payment:

 

●	pay any cash to all or substantially all holders of our common shares, other than a cash dividend paid out of our current or retained earnings;
●	issue any evidence of our indebtedness or rights to subscribe for or purchase our indebtedness to all or substantially all holders of our common shares; or
●	issue common shares or additional shares or other securities or property to all or substantially all holders of our common shares by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement;

 

then the holders of common share warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the warrants, in addition to the securities otherwise receivable upon exercise of the warrants and without paying any additional consideration, the amount of shares and other securities and property such holders would have been entitled to receive had they held the common shares issuable under the warrants on the dates on which holders of those securities received or became entitled to receive such additional shares and other securities and property.

 

Except as stated above, the exercise price and number of securities covered by a warrant for common shares, and the amounts of other securities or property to be received, if any, upon exercise of those warrants, will not be adjusted or provided for if we issue those securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for those securities, or securities carrying the right to purchase those securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for those securities.

 

Holders of common share warrants may have additional rights under the following circumstances:

 

●	certain reclassifications, capital reorganizations or changes of the common shares;
●	certain share exchanges, mergers, or similar transactions involving us that result in changes of the common shares; or
●	certain sales or dispositions to another entity of all or substantially all of our property and assets.

 

If one of the above transactions occurs and holders of our common shares are entitled to receive shares, securities or other property with respect to or in exchange for their securities, the holders of the common share warrants then-outstanding, as applicable, will be entitled to receive upon exercise of their warrants the kind and amount of shares and other securities or property that they would have received upon the applicable transaction if they had exercised their warrants immediately before the transaction.

 

 

Description of Rights

 

The following description, together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the general features of the rights that we may offer under this prospectus. We may issue rights to our shareholders to purchase our common shares and/or any of the other securities offered hereby. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as rights agent. When we issue rights, we will provide the specific terms of the rights and the applicable rights agreement in a prospectus supplement. Because the terms of any rights we offer under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we describe below, you should rely solely on information in the applicable prospectus supplement if that summary is different from the summary in this prospectus. We will incorporate by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, the form of rights agreement that describes the terms of the series of rights we are offering before the issuance of the related series of rights. The applicable prospectus supplement relating to any rights will describe the terms of the offered rights, including, where applicable, the following:

 

●	the date for determining the persons entitled to participate in the rights distribution;
●	the exercise price for the rights;
●	the aggregate number or amount of underlying securities purchasable upon exercise of the rights;
●	the number of rights issued to each stockholder and the number of rights outstanding, if any;
●	the extent to which the rights are transferable;
●	the date on which the right to exercise the rights will commence and the date on which the right will expire;
●	the extent to which the rights include an over-subscription privilege with respect to unsubscribed securities;
●	anti-dilution provisions of the rights, if any; and
●	any other terms of the rights, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the distribution, exchange and exercise of the rights.

 

Holders may exercise rights as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Upon receipt of payment and the rights certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the rights agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the securities purchasable upon exercise of the rights. If less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than shareholders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby underwriting arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Description of Units

 

We may issue units comprising two or more securities described in this prospectus in any combination. For example, we might issue units consisting of a combination of common shares and warrants to purchase common shares. The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the units that we may offer pursuant to this prospectus. The particular terms of the units and the extent, if any, to which the general terms and provisions may apply to the units so offered will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit also is the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. Units will be issued pursuant to the terms of a unit agreement, which may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately at any time or at any time before a specified date. A copy of the forms of the unit agreement and the unit certificate relating to any particular issue of units will be filed with the SEC each time we issue units, and you should read those documents for provisions that may be important to you. For more information on how you can obtain copies of the forms of the unit agreement and the related unit certificate, see “Where You Can Find More Information.”

 

 

The prospectus supplement relating to any particular issuance of units will describe the terms of those units, including, to the extent applicable, the following:

 

●	the designation and terms of the units and the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;
●	any provision for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units; and
●	whether the units will be issued in fully registered or global form.

 

Certain Important Provisions of our Articles and the BCBCA

 

The following is a summary of certain important provisions of our Articles and certain related sections of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (“BCBCA”). Please note that this is only a summary and is not intended to be exhaustive. This summary is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the provisions of our Articles and the BCBCA.

 

Directors

 

Power to vote on matters in which a director is materially interested. Under the BCBCA a director who has a material interest in a contract or transaction or who is a director or senior officer of, or has a material interest in, a person who has a material interest in the contract or transaction, whether made or proposed, if that contract or transaction is material to us, must disclose such interest to us. A director does not hold a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction if the contract or transaction: (i) is an arrangement by way of security granted by us for money loaned to, or obligations undertaken by, the director for our benefit or for one of our affiliates’ benefit; (ii) relates to an indemnity or insurance permitted under the BCBCA; (iii) relates to the remuneration of the director in his or her capacity as director, officer, employee or agent of our company or of one of our affiliates; (iv) relates to a loan to our Company while the director, or a person in whom the director has a material interest, is the guarantor of some or all of the loan; or (v) has been or will be made with or for the benefit of a corporation that is affiliated with us and the director is also a director or senior officer of that corporation or an affiliate of that corporation.

 

A director who holds a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction into which the Company has entered or proposes to enter is not entitled to vote on any directors’ resolution to approve that contract or transaction, unless all the directors have a disclosable interest in that contract or transaction, in which case any or all of those directors may vote on such resolution. A director who holds a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction into which the Company has entered or proposes to enter and who is present at the meeting of directors at which the contract or transaction is considered for approval may be counted in the quorum at the meeting whether or not the director votes on any or all of the resolutions considered at the meeting.

 

A director or senior officer who holds any office or possesses any property, right or interest that could result, directly or indirectly, in the creation of a duty or interest that materially conflicts with that individual’s duty or interest as a director or senior officer, must disclose the nature and extent of the conflict as required by the BCBCA.

 

Directors are also required to comply with certain other relevant provisions of the BCBCA regarding conflicts of interest.

 

Directors’ power to determine the remuneration of directors. The remuneration of our directors is determined by our directors subject to our Articles. If the directors so decide, the remuneration of the directors, if any, will be determined by the shareholders. The remuneration may be in addition to any salary or other remuneration paid to any of our employees (including executive officers) who are also directors.

 

Number of shares required for director’s qualification. Directors do not need to own shares of the Company to qualify to be a director.

 

 

Shareholder Meetings

 

Subject to applicable stock exchange requirements, we must hold a general meeting of our shareholders at least once every calendar year and not more than 15 months after the date of the annual general meeting for the preceding calendar year. A meeting of our shareholders may be held anywhere in or outside British Columbia at a time and place determined by our board of directors.

 

A notice to convene a meeting, specifying the date, time and location of the meeting, and, where a meeting is to consider special business, the general nature of the special business must be sent to each shareholder entitled to attend the meeting and to each director not less than 21 days and no more than two months prior to the meeting, although, as a result of applicable securities laws, the minimum time for notice is effectively longer in most circumstances. Under the BCBCA, shareholders entitled to notice of a meeting may waive or reduce the period of notice for that meeting, provided applicable securities laws are met. The accidental omission to send notice of any meeting of shareholders to, or the non-receipt of any notice by, any person entitled to notice does not invalidate any proceedings at that meeting.

 

Our Articles provide that a quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of our shareholders is met where there are two persons who are, or who represent by proxy, shareholders who, in the aggregate, hold at least 33.33% of the issued shares entitled to vote.

 

If a quorum is not present at the opening of any meeting of shareholders, the meeting stands adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place, unless the meeting is requisitioned by shareholders, in which case the meeting is dissolved. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

 

When a quorum is present or represented at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall be sufficient to elect directors or to decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of the BCBCA or of the Articles, a different vote is required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

 

Each shareholder of record of the Company shall be entitled at each meeting of shareholders to one vote for each common share held. Upon the demand of any shareholder, the vote for directors and the vote upon any question before the meeting shall be conducted by ballot.

 

At any meeting of the shareholders any shareholder may be represented and vote by a proxy or proxies appointed by an instrument in writing. In the event that any such instrument in writing shall designate two or more persons to act as proxies, a majority of such persons present at the meeting, or, if only one shall be present, then that one shall have and may exercise all of the powers conferred by such written instrument upon all of the persons so designated unless the instrument shall otherwise provide. No proxy or power of attorney to vote shall be used to vote at a meeting of the shareholders unless it shall have been validly deposited with the Company in accordance with the Articles, the BCBCA and applicable securities laws. All questions regarding the qualification of voters, the validity of proxies and the acceptance or rejection of votes shall be decided by the inspectors of election who shall be appointed in accordance with the Articles, the BCBCA and applicable securities laws.

 

Any action which may be taken by the vote of the shareholders at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if authorized by the written consent of shareholders holding at least a majority of the voting power, unless the provisions of the BCBCA or of the Articles require a greater proportion of voting power to authorize such action in which case such greater proportion of written consents shall be required.

 

Shareholder Proposals

 

Under the BCBCA, qualified shareholders holding at least one percent (1%) of our issued voting shares may make proposals for matters to be considered at the annual general meeting of shareholders. Such proposals must be sent to us in advance of any proposed meeting by delivering a timely written notice in proper form to our registered office in accordance with the requirements of the BCBCA and be accompanied by one written statement in support of the proposal. The notice must include information on the business the shareholder intends to bring before the meeting.

 

 

Forum Selection

 

We have not included a forum selection provision in our Articles.

 

Ownership Limitation and Transfer of Shares

 

Our common shares are not subject to transfer restrictions under our Articles, but may be subject to restrictions on transfer or prohibited by another instrument, applicable law or the rules of a stock exchange on which the shares are listed for trade. The ownership or voting of our common shares by non-residents of Canada is not restricted by our Articles.

 

Share Transfers

 

Pursuant to our Articles, a transfer of a share must not be registered unless:

 

	(a)	Except as exempted by the BCBCA, a duly signed proper instrument of transfer in respect of the share has been received by the Company;
	(b)	If a share certificate has been issued by the Company in respect of the share to be transferred, that share certificate has been surrendered to the Company; and
	(c)	if a non-transferable written acknowledgment of the shareholder’s right to obtain a share certificate has been issued by the Company in respect of the share to be transferred, that acknowledgment has been surrendered to the Company.

 

Change in Control

 

Our Articles do not contain restrictions on change in control.

 

Election of Directors

 

Our common shares do not have cumulative voting rights for the election of directors. As a result, the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at a shareholders meeting have the power to elect all of our directors.

 

The directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the shareholders by a simple majority vote of holders of our voting shares, participating and voting at such meeting, and each director elected shall hold office until his successor is elected and qualified. However, in the event of any vacancy in our board of directors, including those caused by an increase in the number of Directors, such vacancy may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and each director so elected shall hold office until his successor is elected at an annual or a special meeting of the shareholders. The holders of a two-thirds of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote may at any time peremptorily terminate the term of office of all or any of the directors by vote at a meeting called for such purpose or by a written statement filed with the secretary or, in his absence, with any other officer. Such removal shall be effective immediately, even if successors are not elected simultaneously and the vacancies on the board of directors resulting therefrom shall be filled only by the shareholders.

 

A vacancy or vacancies in the board of directors shall be deemed to exist in case of the death, resignation or removal of any directors, or if the authorized number of directors be increased in accordance with the Articles and the BCBCA, or if the shareholders fail at any annual or special meeting of shareholders at which any director or directors are elected to elect the full authorized number of directors to be voted for at that meeting.

 

The shareholders may elect a director or directors at any time to fill any vacancy or vacancies not filled by the directors. If the board of directors accepts the resignation of a director tendered to take effect at a future time, the board or the shareholders shall have power to elect a successor to take office when the resignation is to become effective.

 

No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director prior to the expiration of his term of office.

 

Anti-Takeover Measures

 

Our Articles do not provide for any anti-takeover measures.

 

Changes in Capital

 

Our Articles enable us to increase or reduce our share capital. Any such changes are subject to the provisions of the BCBCA.

 

We have had no change in share capital in the prior three years other than increasing the number of issued and outstanding common shares as described elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

Exchange Controls

 

The BCBCA and our Articles do not provide for any restriction in connection with the following:

 

	(1)	the import or export of capital, including the availability of cash and cash equivalents for use by the company’s group; and
	(2)	the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to nonresident holders of the company’s securities.

 

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell the securities from time to time, by a variety of methods, including the following:

 

●	on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which our securities may be listed at the time of sale, including the Nasdaq Capital Market;
●	in the over-the-counter market;
●	in transactions otherwise than on such exchange or in the over-the-counter market, which may include privately negotiated transactions and sales directly to one or more purchasers;
●	through ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
●	through purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
●	through underwriters, broker-dealers, agents, in privately negotiated transactions, or any combination of these methods;
●	through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
●	a combination of any of these methods; or
●	by any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The securities may be distributed from time to time in one or more transactions:

 

●	at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;
●	at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;
●	at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or
●	at negotiated prices.

 

Offers to purchase the securities being offered by this prospectus may be solicited directly. Agents may also be designated to solicit offers to purchase the securities from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of our securities will be identified in a prospectus supplement.

 

If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, the securities will be sold to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.

 

If an underwriter is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, an underwriting agreement will be executed with the underwriter at the time of sale and the name of any underwriter will be provided in the prospectus supplement that the underwriter will use to make resales of the securities to the public. In connection with the sale of the securities, we, or the purchasers of securities for whom the underwriter may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the securities to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for which they may act as agent. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, an agent will be acting on a best efforts basis and a dealer will purchase securities as a principal, and may then resell the securities at varying prices to be determined by the dealer.

 

 

Any compensation paid to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. In compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA, the maximum amount of underwriting compensation, including underwriting discounts and commissions, to be paid in connection with any offering of securities pursuant to this prospectus may not exceed 8% of the aggregate principal amount of securities offered. We may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make in respect thereof and to reimburse those persons for certain expenses. The securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. To facilitate the offering of securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the securities, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more securities than were sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option, if any. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities by bidding for or purchasing securities in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if securities sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

 

If indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, underwriters or other persons acting as agents may be authorized to solicit offers by institutions or other suitable purchasers to purchase the securities at the offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement, pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on the date or dates stated in the prospectus supplement. These purchasers may include, among others, commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies and educational and charitable institutions. Delayed delivery contracts will be subject to the condition that the purchase of the securities covered by the delayed delivery contracts will not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United States to which the purchaser is subject. The underwriters and agents will not have any responsibility with respect to the validity or performance of these contracts.

 

We may engage in at-the-market offerings into an existing trading market in accordance with rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act. In addition, we may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us, or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of common shares, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of our common shares. In addition, we may loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities using this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

 

The underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business for which they receive compensation.
