ImmunoPrecise Closes Oversubscribed Private Placement Raising $9.1M

Canada NewsWire

VICTORIA, Sept. 28, 2018 /CNW/ - IMMUNOPRECISE ANTIBODIES LTD. ("ImmunoPrecise" or "IPA") (TSX VENTURE: IPA) (OTC PINK: IPATF) announces that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement financing by issuing a total of 9,102,500 units ("Units") of ImmunoPrecise at a price of $1.00 per Unit for gross proceeds of $9,102,500 (the "Financing").  Due to strong investor demand, the Financing was oversubscribed by $2,102,500.

Each Unit sold in the Financing consists of one common share (a "Share") of ImmunoPrecise and one share purchase warrant (a "Warrant") of ImmuoPrecise, with each Warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional Share at a price of $1.25 for a period of two years from the date of issue.  ImmunoPrecise will have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the warrants provided that ImmunoPrecise's volume weighted average price trades at a price equal to or greater than $1.75 for a period of 20 consecutive days.  In the event of acceleration, the expiry date will be accelerated to a date that is 30 days after ImmunoPrecise issues a news release announcing that it has elected to exercise this acceleration right.

The securities issued under the Financing will be subject to restrictions on resale until January 25, 2019.  Under the Financing, ImmunoPrecise paid finders cash fees totaling $173,940 and 182,460 Shares.

The proceeds of the Financing will be used to expand operations and sales in the United States, Canada and Europe.

Debenture Settlement

ImmunoPrecise also wishes to announce that it wishes to settle up to $1,377,000 of previously issued debentures by issuing up to 1,377,000 Units at a price of $1.00 per Unit (the "Debt Settlement").  Each Unit is on the same terms as the Financing. The purpose of the Debt Settlement is to reduce the ongoing debt obligations of the Debentures. The Debt Settlement is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
