Bradmer Announces Third Quarter 2014 Operational and Financial Results
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 10/15/14 -- Bradmer Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NEX: BMR.H) ("Bradmer" or the "Company") today announced its third quarter 2014 operational and financial results.
Operational Highlights
On February 19, 2014, the Company announced that it had entered into a letter of intent with Alpha Cancer Technologies Inc. ("Alpha") to complete a going-public transaction for Alpha (the "Proposed Transaction"). Alpha is a pre-clinical biopharmaceutical company with a targeted chemotherapy delivery platform focused on the global oncology market. Alpha holds the exclusive worldwide rights to recombinant human Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP), a shuttle protein that targets AFP receptors found almost exclusively on most solid and liquid cancer cells.
In conjunction with, and prior to the closing of the Proposed Transaction, Alpha intends to complete a private placement of Alpha Shares, 10% convertible notes, subscription receipts and/or other securities convertible into Alpha Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of between $7,000,000 and $10,000,000 (the "Private Placement"), at an offering price or conversion price, as applicable, of $0.50 per Alpha Share. The pricing of the Private Placement reflects a pre-money enterprise value for Alpha of approximately $25,000,000.
In October 2014, Alpha agreed to pay Bradmer Cdn$25,000 to extend the deadline to enter into a definitive agreement until November 14, 2014. This latest renewal of the letter of intent no longer contains an exclusivity period and, as such, Bradmer may enter into discussions with other interested parties. Should those discussions proceed, Bradmer may terminate the letter of intent with Alpha on five days'' written notice and refund Cdn$10,000 of the fee to Alpha at that time. All other terms and conditions of the agreement remain unchanged.
