The Company announced that it has entered into the Sale Agreement with Jefferies pursuant to which the Company may from time to time sell, through ATM offerings with Jefferies acting as sales agent or directly to Jefferies acting as principal, such Common Shares as would have an aggregate offering price of up to US$30,000,000. The offering will be made by way of a prospectus supplement dated November 30, 2018, and filed by the Company with securities regulatory authorities in Canada in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, and with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, which supplements the Company’s short form base shelf prospectus dated March 26, 2018, and the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form F-10 dated March 26, 2018, declared effective on March 29, 2018.
Jefferies, at the Company’s discretion and instruction, will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Common Shares at market prices from time to time. Sales in the ATM offering will only be conducted in the United States through NASDAQ or another exchange at market prices. No sales will be conducted in Canada or through the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The Company currently intends to use the proceeds from sales related to the ATM offering, if any, to fund its operations, including clinical development and commercial production of voclosporin (whether for lupus nephritis (“LN”) or other indications), regulatory, pre-marketing and commercialization preparation activities for the potential approval of
voclosporin, primarily for LN but also potentially for other voclosporin indications, business development opportunities such as additional product in-licensing transactions, additional clinical trials or acquisitions of other businesses or products, capital expenditures and working capital.
