11 April 2024 - 9:00PM
LSL PHARMA GROUP INC. (TSXV: LSL)
(the "
Corporation" or "
LSL Pharma
"), a Canadian integrated pharmaceutical company, today announced
the upsizing of its previously communicated non-brokered private
placement financing of Units (as defined hereinafter) to maximum
gross proceeds of $7.5 million (188 750 000 Units) (the
“
Financing”). The upsizing follows an initial
first closing of $2.68 million announced on March 18, 2024
concurrent to conversion of debt into units for $3.75 million.
Each Unit to be issued pursuant to the Financing
will be at a price of $0.40 (the “Units”) and will
consist of one (1) class A share of the Corporation (a
“Common Share”) and one (1) Common Share purchase
warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle
the holder, subject to adjustments in certain cases, to purchase
one (1) Common Share (a “Warrant Share”) at a
price of $0.70 for a period of 36 months following the closing of
the Financing.
Although the Financing is non-brokered, the
Corporation may pay finders’ fees of up to 5% of the gross proceeds
raised from investors introduced to the Corporation by a finder,
payable in cash; and finders’ warrants of up to 5% of the number of
Units issued to investors introduced to the Corporation by a
finder. Each Finder’s Warrant will entitle the holder, subject to
adjustments in certain cases, to purchase one (1) Common Share at a
price of $0.70 for a period of 18 months following the closing of
the Financing (the “Finder’s Warrants”).
Each Unit, Common Share, Warrant, Warrant Share,
Finder’s Warrant and Common Share issued upon the exercise of the
Finder’s Warrant will be subject to a four month hold period under
the applicable securities laws. The Financing and the Units for
Debts are subject to the regulatory approvals, including the TSX
Venture Exchange.
