DiaMedica has authorized share capital of an unlimited number of common voting shares, and the shares do not have a stated par value.

Equity issued during the year ended December 31, 2025

 

On July 21, 2025, we entered into securities purchase agreements with accredited investors, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell an aggregate 8,606,425 common shares at a purchase price of $3.50 per share in a private placement. As a result of the offering, which closed on July 23, 2025, we received gross proceeds of $30.1 million, which resulted in net proceeds to us of approximately $30.0 million, after deducting the offering expenses.

 

In connection with the July 2025 private placement, we entered into a registration rights agreement (2025 Registration Rights Agreement) with the investors pursuant to which we agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of the shares sold in the July 2025 private placement (2025 Resale Registration Statement). The 2025 Resale Registration Statement was filed with the SEC on August 1, 2025 and declared effective by the SEC on August 8, 2025. Under the terms of the 2025 Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to keep the 2025 Resale Registration Statement effective at all times until the shares are no longer considered “Registrable Securities” under the 2025 Registration Rights Agreement and if we fail to keep the 2025 Resale Registration Statement effective, subject to certain permitted exceptions, we will be required to pay liquidated damages to the investors in an amount of up to 10% of the invested capital, excluding interest. We also agreed, among other things, to indemnify the selling holders under the 2025 Resale Registration Statement from certain liabilities and to pay all fees and expenses incident to our performance of or compliance with the 2025 Registration Rights Agreement.

 

On August 12, 2025, we entered into a Sales Agreement (the 2025 Sales Agreement) with TD Securities (USA) LLC (TD Cowen) under which the Company may, from time to time, sell common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $100 million, through an “at-the-market” offering program (ATM Offering). TD Cowen receives a customary commission from the Company for any common shares sold under the 2025 Sales Agreement. Any shares offered and sold in the ATM Offering are to be issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 424(b)(2), the prospectus contained therein, and one or more prospectus supplements. As of December 31, 2025, the remaining availability under this ATM was $86.2 million.

In connection with the June 2024 private placement, we entered into a registration rights agreement (2024 Registration Rights Agreement) with the investors pursuant to which we agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of the shares sold in the June 2024 private placement.
