Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On July 1, 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”), (i) an aggregate of 162,500,000 (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common shares (the “Common Shares”), (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 25,000,000 Common Shares (the “Pre-Funded Warrants” and the Common Shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”); and (iii) warrants (the “Series D Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 187,500,000 Common Shares (the “Series D Warrant Shares”). The Shares and the Series D Warrants were offered in a fixed combination of one Share and one Series D Warrant to purchase one Common Share at a combined public offering price of $0.16 per Common Share and related Series D Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants and the Series D Warrants were offered in a fixed combination consisting of one Pre-Funded Warrant to purchase one Common Share and one Series D Warrant to purchase one Common Share at a combined public offering price of $0.1599 per Pre-Funded Warrant and Series D Warrant. The Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Series D Warrants will be separately issuable.

 

The Series D Warrants will be exercisable beginning on the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.16 and will expire on the second anniversary of the date of issuance. The Pre-Funded Warrants will be exercisable beginning on the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.0001 and will not expire prior to issuance.

 

The aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering will be approximately $30.0 million, before deducting the placement agent fees and offering expenses payable by the Company, and assuming no exercise of the Series D Warrants.

 

H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”) acted as the exclusive placement agent for the Offering pursuant to an engagement letter dated June 30, 2020 (as amended on July 4, 2020) and a Placement Agency Agreement, dated July 1, 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 7.00% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering, excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Series D Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants. The Company also agreed to pay Wainwright $25,000 for non-accountable expenses, an expense allowance of up to $50,000 for legal fees and other out-of-pocket expenses and $12,900 for Wainwright’s closing expenses.

 

The Shares, the Series D Warrants, the Series D Warrant Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Pre-Funded 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 July 1, 2020 and the accompanying base prospectus dated January 30, 2019. The Offering is expected to close on or about July 7, 2020, subject to customary closing conditions.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Placement Agency Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Series D Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Placement Agency Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the form of Series D Warrant and the form of Pre-Funded 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.
