On July 21, 2025, DiaMedica Therapeutics Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of British Columbia, Canada (the “Company”), entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with a number of existing stockholders who are accredited investors (collectively, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 8,606,426 common shares, no par value, of the Company (collectively, the “Shares”), in a private placement (the “Private Placement”). The per Share purchase price is $3.50. The closing of the Private Placement is expected to occur on or about July 23, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

 

The Company expects to receive gross proceeds of $30.1 million, before deducting fees and other offering expenses incurred in connection with the Private Placement. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement to continue its preeclampsia clinical development program for DM199 and for other working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

 

Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to enter into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Purchasers pursuant to which the Company will agree to prepare and file a registration statement (the “Resale Registration Statement”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within 10 business days of the closing of the Private Placement for purposes of registering the resale of the Shares. Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will agree to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause this Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than 30 calendar days following the closing of the Private Placement (or 75 calendar days in the event of a “full review” of the Resale Registration Statement by the SEC), and to keep such Resale Registration Statement effective at all times until the Shares are no longer considered “Registrable Securities” under the Registration Rights Agreement. If the Company fails to meet the specified filing deadlines or keep the Resale Registration Statement effective, subject to certain permitted exceptions, the Company will be required to pay liquidated damages to the Purchasers. The Company also will agree, among other things, to indemnify the selling holders under the Resale Registration Statement from certain liabilities and to pay all fees and expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

The foregoing summary description of the Securities Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreement and form of Registration Rights Agreement, which are attached as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. The Securities Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties that the parties made to, and solely for the benefit of, the other in the context of all of the terms and conditions of that agreement and in the context of the specific relationship between the parties. The provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, including the representations and warranties contained therein, are not for the benefit of any party other than the parties to such agreements and are not intended as documents for investors and the public to obtain factual information about the current state of affairs of the parties to those documents and agreements.

 

 

 

The information provided in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. Based in part on the representations of the Purchasers in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the offering and sale of the Shares will be exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D as promulgated thereunder. The sale of the Shares did not involve a public offering and was made without general solicitation or general advertising. The Purchasers have represented that they are accredited investors, as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and they are acquiring the Shares for investment purposes only and not with a view to any resale, distribution or other disposition of the Shares in violation of the United States federal securities laws.

 

Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K nor any exhibit attached hereto is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Company’s common shares or other securities of the Company.

 

 

On July 21, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the Private Placement and the entry into the Securities Purchase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
