Marketwired Canada
Critical Outcome Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:COT) ("COTI" or the
"Corporation") the bioinformatics and accelerated drug discovery company, is
pleased to announce the completion of a non-brokered private placement of
3,356,250 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.16 per Unit for gross proceeds of
$537,000.
"This financing provides additional funding needed to advance COTI-2 into the
clinic later this year," said John Drake, Chairman of the Board. "Our near term
milestones in this regard include the completion of the final pre-clinical
toxicity studies expected in the second quarter of calendar 2014, and the
preparation of the investigational new drug submission to the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, which we expect to file in the third quarter. Both of these are
important risk reduction milestones that will further enhance the attractiveness
of COTI-2 for licensing."
Each Unit consists of one common share and one warrant of the Corporation. Each
warrant is exercisable for one common share of the Corporation at an exercise
price of $0.28 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of issue.
The common shares and warrants comprising the Units, as well as the common
shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants, are subject to restrictions
on resale which expire on September 1, 2014 in accordance with applicable
securities laws and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. The offering is
subject to final acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
