Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
 
On June 9, 2014, DelMar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a tender offer with respect to certain warrants to purchase common stock of the Company to provide the holders thereof with the opportunity to amend and exercise their warrants, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Company’s tender offer statement on Schedule TO and the related exhibits included therein (the “Offering Materials”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 9, 2014.
 
Pursuant to the tender offer, the Company is offering to amend, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offering Materials, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 9,195,478 shares of common stock (the “Offer to Amend and Exercise”), which warrants were issued in the Company’s private placements that closed on January 25, 2013, January 31, 2013, February 8, 2013, February 21, 2013, February 28, 2013, March 1, 2013, and March 6, 2013 (the “Investor Warrants”).  There is no minimum participation requirement with respect to the Offer to Amend and Exercise.
 
Pursuant to the Offer to Amend and Exercise, the Original Warrants will be amended (the “Amended Warrants”) to: (i) reduce the exercise price of the  Investor Warrants  from $.80 per share to $0.65 per share of common stock in cash, (ii) shorten the exercise period of the Original Warrants so that they expire concurrently with the expiration of the Offer to Amend and Exercise at 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on July 7, 2014, as may be extended by the Company in its sole discretion (“Expiration Date”), (iii) delete the price-based anti-dilution provisions contained in the Investor Warrants, (iv) restrict the ability of the holder of shares issuable upon exercise of the Amended Warrants to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any of such shares without the prior written consent of the Company for a period of time twenty (20) days after the Expiration Date (the “ Lock-Up Period ”); and (v) provide that a holder, acting alone or with others, will agree not to effect any purchases or sales of any securities of the Company in any “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, or any type of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps, “put equivalent positions” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) or similar arrangements, or sales or other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers through the expiration of the Lock-Up Period. Other than set forth above, the terms of the Investor Warrants will remain unmodified and in full force and effect.
 
The Offer to Amend and Exercise is limited to “accredited investors” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Eligible holders may elect to amend some or all of their  Investor  Warrants. If Investor Warrant holders choose not to participate in the Offer to Amend and Exercise, their Investor  Warrants will remain in full force and effect, as originally issued.
 
The purpose of the Offer to Amend and Exercise is to encourage the amendment and exercise of the  Investor  Warrants to help the Company reduce its outstanding warrant liability and to raise funds to support the Company’s operations by providing the holders of the Investor  Warrants with the opportunity to obtain and exercise an Amended Warrant by significantly reducing the exercise price of the  Investor Warrants.
