VANCOUVER, June 22, 2012 /CNW/ - Neuro Discovery II Limited Partnership (the "Neuro II") announces that on June 13, 2012 the shareholders of Allon Therapeutics Inc.

In that private placement offering, Neuro II subscribed for 19,987,500 subscription receipts and 1,990,000 units.

Each warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one common share at a price of $0.40 for a period of 60 months from the closing date of the offering.
On June 21, 2012 the 19,987,500 subscription receipts acquired by Neuro II were converted into 19,987,500 common shares and 9,993,750 warrants.
