4.Summary of Material Change

 

Immunovaccine announced, on May 31, 2017, that it has entered into a bought deal financing agreement to sell 7,692,308 common shares of the Corporation (the “Common Shares”) at a price of $1.30 per Common Share for gross proceeds of approximately $10 million (the “Offering”).

 

The Offering will be conducted through a syndicate of underwriters (the “Underwriters”) led by Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. and National Bank Financial Inc. and including Mackie Research Capital Corporation. Immunovaccine has granted the Underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 1,153,846 Common Shares at the offering price, exercisable for a period of 30 days after closing. If the over-allotment option is exercised in full, the gross proceeds from the Offering will be approximately $11.5 million.

 

The Corporation intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to advance the Company’s various DepoVax™-based products clinical studies and for general corporate and working capital purposes.

 

The Common Shares will be offered by way of a short form prospectus in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Québec, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador.

Certain insiders of the Company have indicated their intention to participate in the Offering. Participation of insiders of the Company in the Offering will constitute a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company expects the Offering to be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of securities which are expected to be issued to insiders nor the consideration which are expected to be paid by insiders will exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.
