Khiron Life Sciences Corp. (TSXV:KHRN), a Canadian integrated medical cannabis company with its core operations in Colombia, is pleased to announce that the Company has elected to exercise its right under the warrant indenture (the “Indenture”) governing the common share purchase warrants of the Company (the “Warrants”) issued on January 12, 2018. Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants when the closing price of the common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”) on the TSX Venture Exchange exceeds $1.40 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days in any 30 trading day period (the “Acceleration Event”).
Khiron is pleased to confirm that an Acceleration Event occurred as of October 3, 2018. Accordingly, the Company has chosen to accelerate the expiry time of the Warrants to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on November 14, 2018. Any Warrants remaining unexercised after the new expiry date will be cancelled.
As of close of market on October 24, 2018, a total of 8,520,635 Warrants of the 12,135,000 originally issued Warrants had yet to be exercised. Each whole Warrant is exercisable to acquire one Common Share of the Company at an exercise price of $1.20. Consequently, if all remaining unexercised Warrants are exercised, proceeds to the Company will total $10,224,762, which combined with already-exercised Warrants, will result in gross proceeds of $14,562,000.
