(CSE:GLAB)(FRA:8I7) (the “Company” or “Gemina”) is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”), raising gross proceeds of $921,720 through the issuance of 1,536,200 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.60 per Unit.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 11, 2022 / Gemina Laboratories Ltd. (CSE:GLAB)(FRA:8I7) (the “Company” or “Gemina”) is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”), raising gross proceeds of $921,720 through the issuance of 1,536,200 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.60 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share (a “Common Share”) of Gemina and one common share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.80 per Common Share until June 30, 2027, subject to acceleration in certain circumstances.
In connection with the Private Placement, the Company issued 55,617 finder’s warrants (the “Finder’s Warrants”) and paid commissions of $37,570.40. Each Finder’s Warrant will entitle the holder, on exercise thereof, to acquire one additional Common Share at a price of $0.60 per Common Share until June 30, 2027.
The Private Placement was completed shortly after the Company’s recently closed “commercially reasonable best efforts” offering by way of prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Offering”), pursuant to which the Company issued 5,626,735 Units at a price of $0.60 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $3.37 million. The Prospectus Offering was completed pursuant to an agency agreement dated June 23, 2022 (the “Agency Agreement”) with Leede Jones Gable Inc. (the “Agent”). In aggregate, the Company has issued 7,162,935 Units and raised gross proceeds of approximately $4.29 million pursuant to the Prospectus Offering and the Private Placement.
Pursuant to the Agency Agreement, the Agent also has the option to increase the size of the Prospectus Offering by up to an additional 1,250,100 Units (the “Over-Allotment Option”), exercisable in whole or in part at any time for a period of 30 days after June 30, 2022. For more information on the Prospectus Offering, see the Company’s news release dated June 30, 2022.
It is anticipated that the net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used by the Company for working capital and general corporate purposes. The securities issued in this Private Placement will be subject to a four month hold period from the date of issue.
