Advitech will also concurrently complete an equity financing of $2,500,000, to be provided equally by Avrio and AgeChem Venture Fund L.P. ("AgeChem"). Each of Avrio and AgeChem will acquire 7,812,500 units at a price of $0.16 per unit, each unit consisting of one post-Consolidation common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each common share purchase warrant will entitle its holder to acquire one additional post-Consolidation common share upon terms to be agreed upon by the parties at the time of closing of the equity financing, in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. The completion of this private placement is also subject to applicable regulatory approvals and, if applicable, shareholders' approval. The proceeds of this equity financing will be used by the resulting entity for the implementation of its business plan. Subsequent to the closure of the proposed financing, it is anticipated that SemBioSys will hold approximately a 7.5 percent interest (6 percent on a fully diluted-basis) in the combined company.
