TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug. 5, 2014) - Bradmer Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Bradmer" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:BMR.H) today announced its second 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.
The letter of intent has been renewed and extended until September 5, 2014. All other terms and conditions of the agreement remain unchanged.
