Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On July 17, 2015, Helius Medical Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) closed a private placement to four accredited investors, which included three institutions and one individual, consisting of an aggregate of 125,756 units at a price of $2.15 per unit for gross proceeds of approximately $270,375. On June 26, 2015, the Company closed a private placement to seven accredited investors, which included one institution and six individuals, consisting of an aggregate of 335,463 units at a price of $2.15 per unit for gross proceeds of $721,243. Each unit issued in the private placements consisted of one share of the Company’s common stock and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional share of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $3.00 for a period of thirty-six months. The Company relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) thereunder for the private placements. In connection with the July 17, 2015 and June 26, 2015 private placements, the Company issued 18,978 and 7,545 warrants, respectively, to an institutional accredited investor that served as finder for the private placements. The finder’s warrants permit the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $2.15 per share for a period of thirty-six months. We relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the issuance of the finder’s warrants.
