Ondine Biopharma Announces Private Placement Equity Financing
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 6, 2010) -
NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES
Ondine Biopharma Corporation (TSX:OBP)(AIM:OBP) (the "Company") a medical technology company developing
photodisinfection based products today announced it has issued 12,530,000 Units for gross proceeds of C$0.75
million under a tranche (the "Tranche") of a non-brokered private placement (the "Placement") of up to
13,800,000 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of C$0.83 million to qualified investors pursuant to applicable
exemptions. Each Unit has a price of $0.06 and consists of one common share of the Company and one share
purchase warrant (a "Warrant") entitling the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at an exercise
price of $0.075 for a one year period from closing.
Under the Tranche the Company issued 12,530,000 common shares and 12,530,000 Warrants expiring April 5, 2011.
An application has been made for the 12,530,000 common shares issued under the Tranche to be admitted to
trading on AIM ("Admission"), and Admission is expected to occur on or about April 12, 2010. The common shares
issued under the Tranche and the common shares issuable on exercise of the Warrants issued under the Tranche
are subject to a regulatory hold period in Canada expiring August 6, 2010.
Pursuant to regulatory requirements, the Company has until April 23, 2010 to complete the remaining 1,270,000
Units available under the Placement. Completion of subsequent closings can not be assured and are subject to
certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals.
Ms. Carolyn Cross, Ondine's Chairman and CEO, participated in the Placement, purchasing 1,500,000 Units (11.97%
of the total units subscribed for in the Tranche). Ms. Cross, members of her immediate family and the Courthill
Foundation, a charitable foundation in which Ms. Cross and her husband are directors, have a beneficial
interest in an aggregate of 19,721,133 common shares, which represents 16.02% of the Company's 123,078,457
issued and outstanding common shares (the "Enlarged Share Capital") immediately following the closing of the
Placement (19.89% assuming exercise of 975,000 stock options and 4,959,091 warrants held by Ms. Cross).
Ms. Margaret Shaw, a director of the Company, participated in the Placement, purchasing 170,000 Units (1.36% of
the total units subscribed for in the Tranche). Ms. Shaw has a beneficial interest in 582,940 commons shares
(0.47%) of the Enlarged Share Capital.
Mr. Michael Crane, a director of the Company, participated in the Placement, purchasing 420,000 Units (3.35% of
the total units subscribed for in the Tranche). Mr. Crane has a beneficial interest in 430,500 common shares
(0.35%) of the Enlarged Share Capital.
Other insiders of the Company participated in the Placement by purchasing a combined total of 340,000 Units
(2.72% of the total units subscribed for in the Placement).
The sale of the Units to insiders constitutes a "related party transaction" pursuant to Canadian securities
regulation. However, the transaction is exempt from applicable formal valuation and minority shareholder
approval requirements as neither the fair market value of the Units issued to insiders nor the consideration
paid by such insiders for the Units exceeds 25% of the market capitalization of the Company. The material
change report in respect of this transaction was not filed at least 21 days in advance of the closing of the
Placement as the Company was in need of the funds. The Company considers the shortened timeframe to be
reasonable under these circumstances.
Ms. Cross's, Ms. Shaw's and Mr. Crane's participation in the Tranche constitutes a related party transaction
for the purposes of the AIM Rules for Companies (the "Related Party Transactions"). Accordingly, the directors
of the Company (excluding Ms. Cross, Ms. Shaw, and Mr. Crane), having consulted with its nominated adviser,
consider the terms of the Related Party Transactions to be fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's
shareholders are concerned.
The total number of voting rights attached to the Enlarged Share Capital on the basis of one vote per common
share is 123,078,457. This voting rights figure may be used by shareholders of the Company as the denominator
for the calculations by which they will determine whether they are required to notify their interests in, or a
change to their interest in, the Company under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Security
Authority (FSA) in the United Kingdom.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to sell any of the
securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the U.S.
Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States unless
registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such
registration is available.
