TORONTO, May 5, 2026 /CNW/ - Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, Inc. (TSXV: PINK) (OTCQX: PYNKF) ("Perimeter" or the "Company"), a commercial-stage medical technology company, is pleased to announce the successful closing of its previously announced "best efforts" offering, pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption (the "Life Offering"), of 19,533,500 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of $0.35 per Unit (the "Issue Price") for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately C$6,836,725. The Company expects to issue an additional 1,955,500 Units, for additional gross proceeds of C$684,425, in a final tranche of the Life Offering on or about May 6, 2026, to bring the total offering up to the maximum offering size of 21,489,000 Units (C$7,521,150).
Each Unit is comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share until May 5, 2031 at an exercise price of C$0.50 per Common Share. Paradigm Capital Inc. acted as lead agent and sole bookrunner, together with Brookline Capital Markets, a division of Arcadia Securities, LLC (collectively, the "Agents"), in connection with the Life Offering.
The Company also expects to complete additional closings of its previously announced concurrent non-brokered private placement (the "Concurrent Debenture Offering") of convertible debentures of the Company of up to US$3.0 million for aggregate gross proceeds of up to US$5.0 million (inclusive of the previously closed tranche as announced on April 28, 2026). The Company expects to raise aggregate proceeds of up to approximately C$14.42 million from the Life Offering together with the Concurrent Debenture Offering.
"We are excited to have completed this Life Offering, which was led by healthcare-dedicated institutional investors alongside new and existing investors that share our vision of transforming cancer surgery with next-generation imaging technology," said Adrian Mendes, Chief Executive Officer of Perimeter. "This financing significantly strengthens our balance sheet and positions us to execute the U.S. commercial launch of our FDA PMA-approved, AI-enabled Claire™ device for intraoperative breast cancer margin assessment. We are excited to advance the standard of care by helping reduce breast cancer re-excision rates, while improving patient outcomes."
In connection with the Life Offering, the Company paid the Agents an aggregate cash commission of approximately C$468,955 and issued the Agents an aggregate of 1,339,870 broker warrants (the "Broker Warrants"), representing 7.0% of the gross proceeds raised and 7.0% of the aggregate number of Units issued under the Life Offering, respectively (in each case, reduced to 3.5% in respect of sales to certain president's list purchasers). The Company expects to pay an additional cash commission of approximately C$47,910 and issue an additional 136,885 Broker Warrants in connection with the closing of the final tranche of the Life Offering. Each Broker Warrant entitles the Agents to acquire one Common Share at a price of C$0.35 per Common Share for a period of 24 months following the closing of the Life Offering. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Life Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, as described in the offering document for the Life Offering.
The Life Offering was made pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption available under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions, as amended and supplemented by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 - Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption, in each of the provinces and territories of Canada other than Québec. The Units were also offered for sale in the United States on a private placement basis pursuant to available exemptions from the registration requirements under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, and in other offshore jurisdictions provided that no prospectus filing or comparable obligation arose. The securities issued under the Life Offering are not subject to a statutory hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described herein in the United States. 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 may not be offered or sold within the United States unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration requirements is available.
