BROSSARD, Québec, Nov. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DIAGNOS Inc. (“DIAGNOS” or the “Corporation”) (TSX Venture: ADK) (OTCQB:
DGNOF), a leader in early detection of critical health issues through the use of Artificial Intelligence, announces the closing of
a private placement (“Private Placement”) of 10,000,000 units (each a “Unit”) issued at $0.05 per Unit for gross proceeds of
$500,000. The Private Placement was initially announced on October 24th, 2018 for gross proceeds of up to $400,000. Each
Unit consists of;
- one common share (“Share”), and
- one stock warrant (“Warrant”) entitling the holder to purchase one Share per Warrant at a price of $0.07 per Share, for a
period of 18 months ending May 1st, 2020.
The proceeds will be used mainly to fund sales and marketing, as well as administrative expenses.
One participant in the Private Placement is a director of DIAGNOS and, therefore, considered a “related party”
of the Corporation within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special
Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The director is subscribing for 1,000,000 Units and, together with one related person, will exercise,
as a result of the Private Placement, control over 3.01% of the common shares of DIAGNOS. The transaction is exempt from the
valuation requirement and the minority approval requirement prescribed in MI 61-101 based on the fact that the fair market value of
the related party’s participation in the Private Placement does not exceed 25% of DIAGNOS’ market capitalization prior to the
closing of the Private Placement.
Shares issued as part of the Private Placement as well as the underlying Shares to be issued upon exercise of
the Warrants are subject to a statutory four-month hold period ending March 1, 2019.
The Private Placement is subject to final receipt of all required approvals, including the approval of the TSX
Venture Exchange, as well as the execution of formal documentation.
All monies quoted in this press release shall be stated and paid in lawful money of Canada.
