HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 6, 2013) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE U.S. NEWSWIRE OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Immunovaccine Inc. ("Immunovaccine" or "IMV") (TSX VENTURE:IMV), a clinical stage vaccine company, announced that it has modified its financing plans and intends to pursue a private placement of its securities in place of a public marketed offering. The private placement will be for up to 6,060,606 units at a price of $0.33 per unit ("Unit") representing gross proceeds of up to $2.0 million, and is expected to close no later than February 28, 2013. IMV has received a lead order as well as commitments for participation from directors of IMV.

Each Unit will consist of one common share and a warrant to purchase one-half of one common share. Each full warrant will have an exercise price of $0.50, exercisable for a period of 24 months following the closing date of the private placement.

John Trizzino, the Chief Executive Officer of IMV, stated, "Pursuing a private placement is in the best interest of the existing shareholders and new investors and therefore would be more beneficial to Immunovaccine than a public offering and so we have modified our financing plans."

Immunovaccine intends to use the net proceeds from the financing to fund the preclinical research and development efforts in the areas of infectious diseases, including respiratory syncytial virus, malaria and anthrax, to specifically support a Phase I clinical trial, as well as ongoing development and Phase II preparation of its clinical-stage cancer vaccine candidate DPX-Survivac. Proceeds will also be used for other general corporate and working capital purposes.

The transaction is subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals.

The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws, and accordingly, may not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities requirements or pursuant to exemptions therefrom. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any securities in any jurisdiction.
