NOT FOR DISSEMINATION TO U.S. WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
Hemostemix Inc. ("Hemostemix" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:HEM) announced
today that the Company and PI Financial Corp. (the "Agent") have mutually agreed to extend the time for the
closing of the private placement offering (the "Private Placement Offering") and the related escrow deadline and
termination date described in its July 11, 2017 press release from August 15, 2017 to August 25, 2017.
As previously announced, the Private Placement Offering is part of a capital raising program consisting of (i) a $4,400,000
secured credit transaction, (ii) a rights offering (the "Rights Offering"), (iii) the Private Placement
Offering, and (iv) a series of shares for debt transactions (collectively, the "Financings").
As announced earlier today, the Company has raised gross proceeds of $1,063,750.75 from the Rights Offering.
As previously disclosed, it is expected that the remainder of the offering consisting of the Rights Offering and the Private
Placement Offering combined (together the "Offering") not filled based on the Rights Offering is expected to be
filled based on the Private Placement Offering. If the Company does not on a combined basis raise the gross proceeds of a minimum
of CDN$5,000,000 (the "Minimum Offering"), the Company will not close on any conversion of Subscription Receipts
issued based on the exercise of Rights. In the event the Release Notice is not provided on or before the escrow deadline,
the subscriptions evidenced by each Subscription Receipt shall be automatically terminated and cancelled and each holder of
Subscription Receipts will be entitled from and after such time to receive: (i) a refund of the aggregate subscription price in
respect of such holder's Subscription Receipts; and (ii) such holder's pro rata portion of interest earned, if any, from
the closing of the Offering to the termination time, on the escrowed proceeds less applicable withholding taxes, if any.
