Hemostemix Announces Non-Brokered Private Placement

Hemostemix Inc. (“Hemostemix” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: HEM) (OTCQX: HMTXF) announces it will undertake a non-brokered private placement offering (the “Offering”), which will consist of the issuance of up to 12,500,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $0.40 per Unit, for aggregate maximum gross proceeds of up to CDN $5,000,000. There is no minimum amount to be raised. Each Unit shall consist of one common share of the Company (“Common Share”) and one non-transferable share purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.60 per Warrant, exercisable for a period of twenty-four months from the closing of the Offering. The Offering is expected to close in multiple tranches.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to expand the Company’s current phase 2 clinical trial involving its lead product, ACP-01, in the United States, Canada and South Africa, to fund important interim analysis of results expected in the fourth quarter of 2016, and for general working capital purposes. The Offering will be completed pursuant to certain exemptions from the prospectus requirement under applicable securities laws. The Offering is open to all existing shareholders of the Company in reliance upon the prospectus exemption described in Multilateral CSA Notice 45-313 Prospectus Exemptions for Distributions to Existing Security Holders and set forth in the various corresponding blanket orders and rules in each of the provinces and territories of Canada (the “Existing Shareholder Exemption”), subject to the terms and conditions therein. The aggregate acquisition cost to a subscriber under the Existing Shareholder Exemption cannot exceed $15,000 unless that subscriber has obtained advice from a registered investment dealer regarding the suitability of the investment. The Company has fixed April 27, 2016 as the record date for the purpose of determining existing shareholders of the Company who are entitled to participate in the Offering pursuant to the Existing Shareholder Exemption. Subscribers purchasing Units under the Existing Shareholder Exemption will need to represent in writing that they meet certain requirements of the Existing Shareholder Exemption, including that on or before the record date, they became a shareholder of the Company and that they continue to be a shareholder of the Company.

In addition to conducting the Offering pursuant to the Existing Shareholder Exemption, the Offering will also be conducted pursuant to other available prospectus exemptions, including sales to accredited investors and those investors who are relying on investment and suitability advice from an investment dealer.

In the event that the Offering is oversubscribed, the Company may increase the size of the Offering or allocate subscriptions on a pro rata basis in accordance with holdings of existing shareholders as of the record date. In the event that the Offering is oversubscribed and subscribers who are not currently shareholders of the Company wish to subscribe, the Company may increase the size of the Offering or accept subscriptions from the new subscribers and pro rate subscriptions from existing shareholders in accordance with their holdings as of the record date. Existing shareholders are welcome to subscribe for such amount of the Offering as they choose and are not limited to their proportionate share of the Offering.  Subscriptions may only be subject to pro-rationing in the event the Offering is oversubscribed. Existing Shareholders who wish to subscribe should contact the Company.

All securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a four-month and one day hold period from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities laws. The terms of the Offering are subject to approval of the
TSX Venture Exchange.
