SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwired - September 15, 2016) -
NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE US OR THROUGH US NEWSWIRE SERVICES
Lattice Biologics Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: LBL) (OTCBB:
BLVKF) ("Lattice Biologics" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed
the first tranche of the non-brokered private placement of Units of the Company (the "Units") announced on
September 13, 2016 (the "Offering").
The Company issued 647,250 Units at a price of Can$0.20 per Unit, representing aggregate gross proceeds of US$100,000.
Each "Unit" consists of one common share in the capital stock of the Company and one-half of one
non-transferable common share purchase warrant of the Company (a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant is exercisable
into an additional common share at a price of Can$0.265 per share for a period of 36 months from the date of closing of the
Offering.
The common shares to be issued, and any common shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will be subject to a hold period
expiring on January 16, 2017.
Lattice Biologics has received conditional approval for the Offering from the TSX Venture Exchange
("TSXV").
The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for general working capital, including funds to acquire amnion donors to begin
production of Lattice Biologics' newly developed amniotic fluid for regenerative use. Lattice Biologics plans to launch its new
regenerative amniotic fluid product later this year in response to the United States' US$2.8 billion addressable market that is
currently growing and unsatisfied.
