Prism Medical Announces Results of Substantial Issuer Bid


TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sept. 18, 2014) - PRISM MEDICAL LTD. (TSX VENTURE:PM) ("Prism") today announced the results of its Dutch auction substantial issuer bid to repurchase up to $35 million worth of its common shares (the "Offer"), which expired at 5:00 pm (EST) on September 17, 2014. These are preliminary results based on the report of Equity Financial Trust Company, the depositary for the Offer, and on the assumption that all deliveries of common shares will be duly completed.

Prism will accept for purchase and cancellation 4,320,987 of its common shares in the capital of Prism at a purchase price of $8.10 per common share, for a total cost of approximately $35 million in accordance with the terms of the Offer. These shares represent approximately 48% of the common shares outstanding as of September 17, 2014. After the repurchase, approximately 4.7 million common shares will remain outstanding.

A total of 5,346,979 common shares were tendered to the Offer. 4,341,379 common shares were tendered at prices at or below the purchase price of $8.10 per common share. In accordance with the terms of the Offer, the common shares will be taken up on a pro rata basis such that shareholders who deposited common shares at or below the purchase price of $8.10 per common share, will have approximately 99.5% of the common shares they tendered purchased for cancellation.

The common shares that will be purchased for cancellation pursuant to the Offer include 1,832,457 common shares held by Yellow Point Equity Partners Limited Partnership ("Yellow Point"), representing approximately 99.2% of the total common shares held by Yellow Point prior to the Offer.

Payment to holders of common shares tendered and accepted for purchase will be made by the depositary as soon as possible after September 23, 2014. Common shares tendered at a price above $8.10 per share will not be purchased. The common shares not purchased, including due to proration and shares invalidly deposited, will be returned as promptly as possible.

Assuming the final results of the Offer do not differ from the preliminary results described above, Prism does not intend to issue a subsequent press release on the results of the Offer. The number of common shares noted above will also be subject to minor adjustments due to rounding of fractional share entitlements resulting from proration.
