NASDAQ: CORV TSX: CORV

VANCOUVER, March 11, 2019 /CNW/ - Correvio Pharma Corp. (NASDAQ: CORV) (TSX: CORV), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing hospital drugs, today announced an amendment to its existing agreement with CRG Servicing LLC ("CRG") dated May 11, 2017 (the "Amending Agreement"), which provides for an increase in capital available to the Company. Under the terms of the amended agreement, Correvio is now eligible to receive up to an additional $10 million. Under the Amending Agreement, Correvio will pay a small access fee to CRG. The additional funding may be drawn at Correvio's discretion in increments of $2.5 million through September 30, 2019 and there will be prepayment premium associated with any such draw-down.

"This amended credit facility provides important non-dilutive, near-term capital as well as greater financial flexibility to achieve our corporate objectives this year," said William Hunter, MD, CEO of Correvio. "Based on our current operating plan, the net proceeds from CRG, combined with our existing cash, provide us with enough capital to get an answer from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on the Brinavess^® New Drug Application which we remain on track to resubmit the Brinavess NDA during the second quarter of 2019. Should the FDA accept our submission, these additional funds provide us with cash resources and allows us to prepare for the Brinavess product launch in the U.S. in early 2020."
