Titan Medical begins process to move to the TSX Venture Exchange
September 30 2024 - 5:00PM
Titan Medical Inc. (“
Titan”) (TSX: TMD; OTC:
TMDIF) announces that its board of directors (the
“
Board”) has approved the voluntary delisting (the
“
Delisting”) of Titan’s common shares (the
“
Titan Shares”) from the Toronto Stock Exchange
(the “
TSX”). Subject to approval by the TSX and
the completion of all closing conditions for the Transaction
(defined below) it is expected that the Titan Shares will be
delisted from the TSX effective as of close of markets between
October 4, 2024 and October 10, 2024.
Titan remains a “reporting issuer” in Canada and
will continue to provide regular comprehensive disclosure pursuant
to applicable Canadian securities laws.
Titan intends to change the listing of the Titan
Shares to the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”), in
connection with its proposed acquisition of all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Conavi Medical Inc.
(“Conavi”) by way of a three-cornered amalgamation
under which 1000824255 Ontario Inc. (“Subco”), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Titan, will amalgamate with Conavi and
continue as one entity and Conavi shareholders will receive Titan
Shares (the “Transaction”). In connection with the
closing of the Transaction, post-Transaction Titan (the
“Resulting Issuer”) is expected to be renamed as
Conavi Medical Corp. The Transaction will be conducted pursuant to
the terms of a definitive agreement entered into between Titan,
Conavi, and Subco on March 17, 2024, as amended (the
“Amalgamation Agreement”) and will constitute a
“reverse take-over” of Titan within the policies of the TSXV.
Having received conditional listing approval from the TSXV, it is
intended that the Resulting Issuer shares will begin trading on the
TSXV on the next business day following the TSX delisting date.
Titan’s decision to voluntarily delist its stock
from the TSX was as a result of considering the Resulting Issuer’s
ability to meet ongoing listing requirements (where the Resulting
Issuer is expected to satisfy TSXV (rather than TSX) requirements
upon completion of the reverse takeover) and the Board’s view that
maintaining the TSX listing does not offer sufficient benefits to
Titan and its shareholders to justify the expenses and
administrative costs for the continued TSX listing. The Company is
not required to seek security holder approval for the Delisting
since the Resulting Issuer Shares are anticipated to trade on the
TSXV.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Information
This news release contains “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian and U.S.
securities laws, which reflect the current expectations of
management of Titan’s future growth, results of operations,
performance and business prospects and opportunities.
Forward-looking statements are frequently, but not always,
identified by words such as “may”, “would”, “could”, “will”,
“anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”,
“potential for” and similar expressions, although these words may
not be present in all forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements that appear in this release may include, without
limitation, references to: Titan’s expectation that the Delisting
will be approved by the TSX and the expected effective date
therefor, the Transaction and certain terms and conditions thereof,
including, but not limited to, TSXV approval and closing of the
Transaction and the anticipated listing on the TSXV; and the
business of Titan and Conavi.
These forward-looking statements reflect
management’s current beliefs with respect to future events, and are
based on information currently available to management that, while
considered reasonable by management as of the date on which the
statements are made, are inherently subject to significant
business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies
which could result in actions, events, conditions, results,
performance or achievements to be materially different from those
projected in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements involve significant risks, uncertainties and assumptions
and many factors could cause Titan’s actual results, performance or
achievements to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by
such forward-looking statements. Such factors and assumptions
include, but are not limited to, Titan’s ability to continue to
license some or all its intellectual property to third parties, the
receipt of required approvals from the TSXV or Titan’s shareholders
in connection with the Transaction or change of listing or as to
the success of Conavi’s concurrent financing (or the terms upon
which such financing may be available if at all) and other factors
listed in the “Risk Factors” section of Titan’s Annual Information
Form for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and in the joint
management information circular in respect of the Transaction dated
August 30, 2024 (each of which may be viewed at www.sedarplus.com).
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or
should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove
incorrect, actual results, performance, or achievements may vary
materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements contained in this news release. These factors should be
considered carefully, and prospective investors should not place
undue reliance on the forward-looking statements.
Although the forward-looking statements
contained in the news release are based upon what management
currently believes to be reasonable assumptions and Titan has
attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual
actions, events, conditions, results, performance or achievements
to differ materially from those described in forward-looking
statements, Titan cannot assure prospective investors that actual
results, performance or achievements will be consistent with these
forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, Titan
expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise
any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors
should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. All
the forward-looking statements are expressly qualified by the
foregoing cautionary statements.
