Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 7, 2020, Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Corp. (the “Company”) entered into agreements, including a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue, in a registered public offering (the “Offering”), an aggregate of 33,333,334 (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common shares (the “Common Shares”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 16,666,667 Common Shares (the “Warrant Shares”), at a combined public offering price of $0.12 per Common Share and related Warrant. The Shares and the Warrants were offered in a fixed combination consisting of one Share and one-half of a Warrant to purchase one Common Share. The Shares and the Warrants will be separately issuable. Each whole Warrant will be exercisable for one Common Share.

 

The Warrants will be exercisable beginning on the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.15 and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance.

 

The aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering will be approximately $4.0 million, before deducting the placement agent fees and offering expenses payable by the Company, and assuming no exercise of the Warrants.

 

The Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are being offered pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 20, 2018, and was declared effective on January 30, 2019 (File No. 333-228926) (the “Registration Statement”), a prospectus supplement thereunder dated April 7, 2020 and the accompanying prospectus dated January 30, 2019. The Offering is expected to close on or about April 9, 2020, subject to customary closing conditions.

 

H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”) acted as the exclusive placement agent for the Offering pursuant to an engagement letter dated March 31, 2020 and a Placement Agency Agreement, dated April 7, 2020, by and between the Company and Wainwright (the “Placement Agency Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay Wainwright 7.25% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering, excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Warrants. The Company also agreed to pay Wainwright $25,000 for non-accountable expenses, an expense allowance of up to $100,000 for legal fees and other out-of-pocket expenses and up to $12,900 for certain escrow and clearing services.

 

In addition, the Company agreed to issue to Wainwright, or its designees, warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to 5.0% of the aggregate number of Common Shares sold in the Offering, or up to 1,666,667 Common Shares (the “Placement Agent Warrant Shares”). The Placement Agent Warrants will have substantially the same terms as the Warrants being sold to the investors in this Offering, except that the Placement Agent Warrants will have a term of five years from the effective date of the Offering.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Placement Agency Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Warrants, the form of which was included in the Purchase Agreement, and the Placement Agent Warrants are not complete and are qualified in their entireties by reference to the full text of the Placement Agency Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Warrant and the Placement Agent Warrant, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2, Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein. The Company issued a press release on April 7, 2020 announcing the Offering and a press release on April 7, 2020 announcing the pricing of the Offering. Copies of the press releases are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively.

 

A copy of the opinion of Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP relating to the validity of the Shares and the Warrant Shares is filed herewith as Exhibit 5.1. A copy of the opinion of Lowenstein Sandler LLP relating to the validity of the Warrants is filed herewith as Exhibit 5.2.

 

  

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information contained above in Item 1.01 related to the Placement Agent Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrant Shares is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The Placement Agent Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to the Registration Statement and are instead being offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.
