/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE U.S. NEWSWIRE OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

TORONTO, June 1, 2020 /CNW/ - StageZero Life Sciences Ltd. (TSX:SZLS) ("StageZero", or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed a preliminary short form prospectus with the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario (the "Canadian Jurisdictions") in connection with an overnight marketed public offering (the "Offering") of units (the "Units") of the Company for gross proceeds of a minimum of C$3.5 million and maximum of C$8 million.

 

Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each full warrant, a "Warrant").

The Offering will be conducted by Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. ("Echelon") and Clarus Securities Inc. ("Clarus", and collectively with Echelon, the "Agents") as co-lead Agents and joint bookrunners.

The Offering will be completed: (i) by way of a short form prospectus to be filed in the Canadian Jurisdictions; and (ii) outside Canada and the United States on a basis which does not require the qualification or registration of any of the Company's securities under domestic or foreign securities laws.

The Offering is expected to close on or about June 18, 2020, or such other date as the Company and the Agents may agree, and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the securities regulatory authorities and the Toronto Stock Exchange and the issuance of a receipt for a final short form prospectus. The size of the Offering, between the minimum and maximum, and the price of the Offering will be determined in the context of the market.

The Company has granted the Agents an option to purchase up to an additional 15% of the Units sold under the Offering, at the issue price of the Units. The Over-Allotment Option may be exercised in whole or in part to purchase Common Shares, Warrants or Units as determined by the Agents upon written notice to the Company at any time up to 30 days following the closing date of the Offering (the "Over-Allotment Option").

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for expansion of COVID-19 testing capabilities and sales and marketing related to COVID-19 testing. Net proceeds of the Offering will also be used for upgrades to the Company, including new staff hiring, to meet increased demand for COVID-19 testing as well as working capital and general corporate purposes.

The preliminary short form prospectus is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
