LexaGene Holdings Receives Approval to Amend Warrant Terms

GlobeNewswire

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

BEVERLY, Mass., May 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LexaGene Holdings, Inc., (TSX-V: LXG; OTCQB: LXXGF) (the “Company”) announces that further to its April 29, 2020 press release, it has received approval from the TSX Venture Exchange to amend the exercise price of the common share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) issued on March 29, 2019.

In connection with a $2.65 million offering of units (net of costs), 4,375,271 Warrants were issued with an exercise price of $0.85 per common share of LexaGene (a “Common Share”). These Warrants have an expiry date of June 29, 2020. The Company originally announced that it had intended to amend the exercise price of the Warrants to $0.60 per Common Share and amend the terms of the acceleration clause; the Company has since received approval to amend the exercise price of the Warrants to $0.65 per Common Share. The terms of the acceleration clause will not be amended.

The Company has the right to accelerate the expiry of these Warrants at any time before the Expiry Date, if the weighted average trading price of the Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) (or such other market as the Shares may trade from time to time) is $1.10 or more per share for five (5) consecutive trading days (the “Trigger Event”) by disseminating a press release advising of such acceleration within 30 days of a Trigger Event. The Warrants will, unless exercised, expire on the 30th day after the Company provides such written notice to the Holder. The Warrants may be exercised by the Holder during the 30 day period between the notice and the expiration of the Warrants.
