Gemina Announces Filing of Prospectus Supplement

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 24, 2022 / Gemina Laboratories Ltd. (the “Company” or “Gemina“) (CSE:GLAB)(FRA:8I7) is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into an agency agreement dated June 23, 2022 (the “Agency Agreement“) with Leede Jones Gable Inc. (the “Agent“). Pursuant to the Agency Agreement, the Company proposes to complete a “commercially reasonable best efforts” offering by way of prospectus supplement to the Company’s base shelf prospectus dated January 10, 2022 (the “Offering“). The Offering is comprised of up to 8,334,000 units of the Company (“Units“) at a price of $0.60 per Unit (the “Unit Price“) for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $5,000,400 (the “Financing Proceeds“). The Company has agreed to grant the Agent an option to increase the size of the Offering by up to 15% (the “Over-Allotment Option“), exercisable in whole or in part at any time for a period of 30 days after the closing date of the Offering (the “Closing Date“).

Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of Gemina (a “Share“) and one Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant“). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Share at a price equal to $0.80 for a period of 60 months following the Closing Date, subject to acceleration in certain circumstances. The Company anticipates that the Warrants will be governed by a warrant indenture to be entered into between the Company and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as warrant agent, on or before the Closing Date.

In consideration for the Agent’s services with respect to the Offering, Gemina will (i) pay the Agent a cash fee of 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering (including the Over-Allotment Option), payable on the Closing Date (and the closing of the Over-Allotment Option, if applicable), and (ii) issue warrants (the “Agent Compensation Warrants“) to purchase that number of Shares of the Company equal to 7% of the aggregate number of Units sold pursuant to the Offering, including the Over-Allotment Option. Each Agent Compensation Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one Share at the Unit Price for a period of 60 months following the Closing Date.

It is anticipated that the Financing Proceeds will be used by the Company to finance product development and potential strategic acquisitions, and for research and development, working capital and general corporate purposes. The fees payable to the Agent and the Financing are subject to CSE approval.

Concurrently with the Offering, the Company is conducting a non-brokered offering of up to a maximum of 1,666,667 Units at the Unit Price (the “Non-Brokered Private Placement“), which Non-Brokered Private Placement is expected to close on or around the Closing Date. The Units issued pursuant to the Non-Brokered Private Placement will not be qualified for distribution by the Prospectus Supplement and will be subject to a four month hold period. It is anticipated that proceeds from the Non-Brokered Private Placement will be used by the Company for working capital and general corporate purposes.
