(the “Company”), closed its previously announced underwritten public offering in the United States (the “Offering”), resulting in the sale of 2,775,231 common shares, pre-funded warrants exercisable for 16,563,335 common shares, at an exercise price of US$0.01 per share (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), and warrants exercisable for 20,000,000 common shares, at an exercise price of US$0.75 per share (the “Firm Warrants”). These securities were issued in units, each consisting of either one common share and one Firm Warrant or one Pre-Funded Warrant and one Firm Warrant, and were offered at a public offering price of US$0.75 per unit.
 
H.C. Wainwright & Co. acted as the sole book-running manager for the Offering.
 
Each Firm Warrant is exercisable immediately and has a term of five years and each Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable immediately and until all Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised. The common shares (or common share equivalent) and the accompanying warrants included in the units were purchased together in the Offering but were issued separately.
 
The Company received gross proceeds of approximately US$14.3 million, prior to deducting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, research and development, accounts payable, and other commercial expenditures.
 
On October 16, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the Offering. A copy of the press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to the Report on Form 6-K, which was filed with the SEC on October 17, 2018.
