TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Antibe Therapeutics Inc. (“Antibe” or the “Company”) (TSXV: ATE, OTCQX: ATBPF) is pleased to announce the completion of a first closing of a brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”) on the same financial terms as the previously disclosed non-brokered private placement completed in connection with the acquisition of Citagenix Inc. The Private Placement of 45 units (each, a “Unit”) yielded gross proceeds of $450,000. Each Unit was priced at $10,000 and consists of a senior secured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $10,000.00 (each, a “Debenture”) and 20,000 warrants (each, a “Warrant”). Bloom Burton & Co. Limited acted as agent in connection with the Private Placement.

The Debentures have a maturity date of October 15, 2018 and bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The principal amount of the debentures is convertible at the option of the holder into Antibe common shares at a price of $0.22 per common share. The Debentures are secured by the assets of Antibe. Purchasers of the Debentures were issued an aggregate of 900,000 Warrants to purchase common shares of Antibe. Each Warrant will be exercisable for the purchase of one Antibe common share at a price of $0.31 and expires on October 15, 2018.

Bloom Burton and other agents participating in the private placement were paid an aggregate commission of 7% of the gross proceeds raised pursuant to the Private Placement and issued an aggregate of 143,182 Broker Warrants. Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Antibe common share at a price of $0.22 and expires on December 23, 2017.

The Debentures, Warrants and Broker Warrants are all subject to a hold period, which expires on April 24, 2016.

Antibe may raise up to an additional $800,000 pursuant to the Private Placement in one or more subsequent closings.

The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used by the Company for working capital, product licensing, and general corporate purposes. The Private Placement is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
