Kalytera Announces Private Placement of Convertible Debenture Units

Kalytera Therapeutics, Inc.

The Convertible Debentures will bear interest from the date of closing at 10.0% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on the last business day of May, August, November and February of each year commencing May 31, 2019, and will mature two years following the closing of the Offering (the “Maturity Date”).

The Company’s obligations under the Convertible Debentures will be guaranteed by its material subsidiaries, and such guarantee obligations will be secured by substantially all of the assets of such subsidiaries.

The Convertible Debentures will be convertible at the option of the holder into common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) at any time prior to the close of business on the earlier of the third business day prior to the Maturity Date and the third business day prior to any date fixed for redemption or repayment of the Convertible Debentures, at a conversion price of (i) C$0.065 per Common Share for the first twelve (12) month period following the closing date of the Offering and (ii) C$0.10 per Common Share for the second twelve (12) month period following the closing date of the Offering, in each case subject to customary adjustments in certain events.

Each Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one Common Share (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $0.065 per Warrant Share for a period of two years following the closing date of the Offering, subject to customary adjustments in certain events and, provided that if, at any time following the date that is four months following the closing date of the Offering, the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares equals or exceeds C$0.13 for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, the Company may, on prior written notice, accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to the date that is 20 business days from the date of such notice.  Any unexercised Warrants shall thereafter automatically expire.

The Convertible Debentures and the Warrants constituting the convertible debenture units and any Common Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof, as applicable, will be subject to a statutory hold period lasting four months and one day following the closing date of the Offering.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. On closing of the Offering, the Company will pay to the investor under the Offering a loan fee in the amount of C$20,000, which sum will be deducted from the gross proceeds of the financing, and the Company will reimburse the investor in the amount of up to US$15,000 for its legal costs related to the Offering.

Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about March 6, 2019.  The Offering 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.
