Marketwire, October 24, 2021
/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION/
TORONTO – Cynapsus Therapeutics Inc. (CTH: TSX-V), a specialty pharmaceutical company developing an improved dosing formulation of an approved drug used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, today announced that it has closed a brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of units ("Units"). Cynapsus issued an aggregate of 3,400,000 Units at a price of $0.05 per Unit raising gross proceeds of $170,000. Each Unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant.
Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional common share at an exercise price, subject to adjustment, of $0.0625 per warrant share from the closing date for a period of 12 months, and thereafter at an exercise price of $0.10 per warrant share. If the common shares of the Corporation are consolidated during the 12 month period following the closing date on a basis of more than 1.6 common shares for one new common share then the automatic increase in the exercise price of the warrants 12 months following the closing date will not apply, provided the exercise price will nevertheless be adjusted as a result of the consolidation in accordance with the terms of the warrant. The warrants shall be exercisable by the holder thereof on any business day during the period ending 60 months following the closing date.
The Company paid to Northern Securities Inc. cash commissions of $5,200 and issued 104,000 non-transferable compensation warrants, each exercisable to purchase one Cynapsus common share on the same terms as the warrants issued in the Private Placement.
The common shares issued under the Private Placement are subject to a hold period of four months expiring on February 24, 2013.
The Company will use the proceeds of the Private Placement for working capital purposes.
The TSX Venture Exchange Inc. has not reviewed and does not accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this press release.
About Cynapsus Therapeutics
Cynapsus is a specialty pharmaceutical company developing the only oral (sublingual) delivery of the only approved drug (apomorphine) to treat the motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Over one million people in the United States and an estimated 5 million people globally suffer from Parkinson's disease. Parkinson’s disease is a chronic and progressive neurodegenerative disease that impacts motor activity, and its prevalence is increasing with the aging of the population. Based on the IMPACT Registry Study and the results of Cynapsus’ Global 500 Neurologists Survey, it is estimated that between 25 percent and 50 percent of patients experience “off” episodes in which they have impaired movement or speaking capabilities. Current medications only control the disease’s symptoms, and most drugs become less effective over time as the disease progresses.
Cynapsus’ lead drug candidate, APL-130277, is an easy-to-administer, fast-acting and oral reformulation of an approved drug, apomorphine, used to rescue patients from “off” episodes. Cynapsus is focused on rapidly maximizing the value of APL-130277 by completing pivotal studies in advance of a New Drug Application expected to be submitted in 2015. Cynapsus anticipates out-licensing to an appropriate pharmaceutical partner before such an application is submitted.
