Company for a period of five years following the closing date of the Offering at an exercise price of $1.40 per common share, subject to adjustment in certain events.
If at any time on or after the date that is 18 months after the closing date, the closing price of the common shares on the
TSX Venture Exchange is greater than $2.80 for a period of ninety (90) calendar days, the Company
may, at its option, accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants, and in such case the Warrants will expire on the earlier of (i)
the 20th day after the date on which such notice is given by the company; (ii) sixty (60) months from the closing
date.
The Company has agreed to grant the Underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 4.5 million Units at
the Offering Price, exercisable in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or prior to the date that is 30 days
following the closing of the Offering. If this option is exercised in full, an additional $4.5
million in gross proceeds will be raised pursuant to the Offering and the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering will be
$34.5 million.
The Units will be offered by way of a short form prospectus to be filed in all provinces of Canada and on a private placement basis in the United States pursuant to
exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities
Act"). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Offering is expected to close on or about March 20, 2018 and is subject to certain
conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals, including the
approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the applicable securities regulatory authorities.

not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S.
persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This press release shall not
constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in the United
States nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would
be unlawful.
About Profound Medical Corp.
The Profound Medical team is committed to creating the powerful combination of real-time MR-guidance as the imaging platform
and ultrasound as the energy source for delivering non-invasive ablative tools to clinicians. These key technology pillars,
linked with intelligent software and robotics, have the potential to fulfill unmet needs of patients and clinicians in many
anatomies and disease states, including prostate cancer, uterine fibroids, and bone metastases. Our mission is to profoundly
change the standard of care by creating a tomorrow where clinicians can confidently ablate tissue with precision; a tomorrow
where patients have access to safe and effective treatment options, so they can quickly return to their daily lives.
Profound Medical is commercializing a novel technology, TULSA-PRO® , which combines real-time Magnetic Resonance
Imaging with transurethral, robotically-driven therapeutic ultrasound and closed-loop thermal feedback control that is designed
to provide precise ablation of the prostate while simultaneously protecting critical surrounding anatomy from potential side
effects. TULSA-PRO® is CE marked and Profound Medical is currently conducting a pilot commercial launch of the
technology in key European and other CE mark jurisdictions. The Company is also sponsoring a multicenter, prospective
FDA-registered clinical trial, TACT, which, if successful, is expected to support its application to the FDA for clearance to
market TULSA-PRO® in the United States.
Profound Medical is also commercializing Sonalleve®, an innovative therapeutic platform that combines real-time MR
imaging and thermometry with thermal ultrasound to enable precise and incision-free ablation of diseased tissue.
Sonalleve® is CE marked for the treatment of uterine fibroids and palliative pain treatment of bone metastases. The
Company is also in the early stages of exploring additional potential treatment markets for Sonalleve®, such as
non-invasive ablation of abdominal cancers and hyperthermia for cancer therapy, where the technology has been shown to have
clinical application.
