Kalytera Therapeutics Announces Filing of Amended and Restated Short Form Prospectus

Kalytera Therapeutics, Inc. (TSXV:KALY, OTCQB:KALTF) announced today that it has filed an amended and restated preliminary short form prospectus (the “Amended and Restated Prospectus”) with securities regulatory authorities in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario in connection with its previously announced marketed offering of units of the Company (“Units”, or each a “Unit”) for gross proceeds of $3,000,000 to $10,000,000 (the “Offering”).

The Amended and Restated Prospectus amends and restates the preliminary short form prospectus filed by Kalytera on July 9, 2018.  Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Prospectus, each Unit will be offered at an issue price of $0.11 (instead of $0.13) per Unit. The other terms of the Units will remain unchanged, such that each Unit will consist of one common share in the Company (each a “Common Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant individually a “Warrant” and collectively the “Warrants”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.155 for a period of 36 months from the Closing Date.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to pay milestone payments owing to the former shareholders of Talent Biotechs Ltd, for research and development expenses and for general and administration expenses.

As previously announced, Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. (“Echelon” or the “Agent”) will conduct the Offering on a commercially reasonable efforts basis as the Company’s agent for the Offering in Canada.  The Units may also be offered for sale in the United States on a private placement basis pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) and applicable state laws.

Echelon shall be entitled to a cash commission equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, which shall be payable on the Closing Date. Echelon shall also be granted broker warrants (“Broker Warrants”) to acquire that number of Units equal to 5% of the number of Common Shares sold in the Offering.  Each Broker Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.11 for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Offering.

Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about August 3, 2018 (the “Closing Date”). The Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the entering into of a definitive agency agreement and the receipt of all necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

For further details with respect to the Offering, please see the amended and restated preliminary prospectus, a copy of which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and accordingly, may not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States, except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities requirements, or pursuant to exemptions therefrom. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Company’s securities to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States.
