TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Titan Medical Inc. (“Titan” or the “Company”) (TSX:TMD) (Nasdaq:TMDI), a medical device company focused on the design, development and commercialization of a robotic surgical system for application in minimally invasive surgery (“MIS”), announced today that it has filed and been receipted for a preliminary short form prospectus (the “Preliminary Prospectus”) with securities regulators in the provinces of Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta. Titan has also filed a corresponding registration statement on Form F-10 (the “Registration Statement”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the U.S.-Canada Multijurisdictional Disclosure System. Each of these filings is in connection with a proposed marketed offering of units (the “Units”) of the Company (the “Offering”) for total gross proceeds of a minimum of US$18,000,000 and a maximum of US$22,000,000. The Preliminary Prospectus and Registration Statement are subject to completion and amendment.

Bloom Burton Securities Inc. (the “Agent”) has been engaged as the Company’s agent for the Offering and the Agent has appointed Northland Securities, Inc. as sub-agent with respect to the offer and sale of the Units in the United States.

Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). The Offering will be undertaken on a “best efforts” agency basis. The Company also expects to grant to the Agent a 30-day over-allotment option to sell up to an additional 15% of the number of Units and/or Warrants offered in the Offering. The type of security to be distributed, the number of Units to be distributed, the price of each Unit and the exercise price and term of each Warrant will be determined by negotiation between the Company and the Agent in the context of the market with final terms to be determined at the time of pricing.

It is expected that closing of the Offering will occur on or about October 8, 2019, or such other date or dates as the Company and the Agent may agree.

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund continued development work in connection with the Company’s single-port robotic surgical system, as well as for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Further details are disclosed in the Preliminary Prospectus, available at www.sedar.com and the Registration Statement, available at www.sec.gov.

The Offering is subject to a number of customary conditions, including, without limitation, receipt of all regulatory and stock exchange approvals. The Registration Statement has not yet become effective. The Units may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted in the United States prior to the time the Registration Statement becomes effective. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the Units, in any province, state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such province, state or jurisdiction.
