The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for the Company’s Phase 2A Montelukast Study and general working capital requirements.
The Company has applied to list the Offered Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares underlying the Units on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”). The approval is subject to fulfillment by the Company of customary closing conditions of the TSXV.
