Medexus and MidCap Agree to Increase in MidCap’s Revolving Loan Commitment Amount

Medexus’s borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility increases by
US$5.0 million, from US$20.0 million to US$25.0 million

Transaction strengthens Medexus’s balance sheet, providing additional operating liquidity

TORONTO and CHICAGO, Sept. 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Medexus Pharmaceuticals (Medexus) (TSX: MDP) (OTCQX: MEDXF) today entered into an amendment to the company’s revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders agented by MidCap Funding IV Trust (MidCap). Among other things, the amendment provides for a US$5.0 million increase in MidCap’s revolving loan commitment amount on substantially the same terms provided under the existing facility. Following the amendment, Medexus will have total borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility of US$25.0 million subject to the borrowing base.

“We are pleased to extend our strong partnership with MidCap and bolster our liquidity position as we head into this upcoming quarter,” commented Marcel Konrad, Chief Financial Officer of Medexus. “We appreciate our lenders’ support as we continue to focus on delivering strong revenue growth and improved overall performance across our portfolio of products in both the United States and Canada.”

In connection with the amendment, Medexus also issued to MidCap warrants to purchase 135,710 common shares of Medexus, with an exercise price equal to the five-day volume-weighted average price on the Toronto Stock Exchange calculated as of September 29, 2022, and amended MidCap’s outstanding warrants to purchase 134,290 shares to reduce the exercise price to reflect that same five-day volume-weighted average price. The newly-issued warrants and the amendments to the existing warrants will become effective on October 13, 2022, being 10 business days after the date of this announcement. The warrants will be exercisable until the maturity of the loans outstanding under Medexus’s credit facilities with MidCap, which is expected to occur in July 2023 unless extended in accordance with the terms of the facilities.

Certain statements made in this press release contain, and statements made in the webcast discussed in this press release may contain, forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws (forward-looking statements). The words “anticipates”, “believes”, “expects”, “will”, “plans”, “potential”, and similar words or expressions are often intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Specific forward-looking statements contained in this news release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Medexus’s business strategy, outlook, and other expectations regarding financial or operational performance; Medexus’s expectations regarding availability of funds from operations, cash flow generation, and capital allocation; and Medexus’s anticipated cash needs, capital requirements, and needs for additional financing. These statements are based on factors or assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including assumptions based on historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments. Since forward-looking statements relate to future events and conditions, by their very nature they require making assumptions and involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Medexus cautions that although it is believed that the assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances, these risks and uncertainties give rise to the possibility that actual results may differ materially from the expectations set out in the forward-looking statements. Material risk factors include those set out in Medexus’s materials filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities from time to time, including Medexus’s most recent annual information form and management’s discussion and analysis; future capital requirements and dilution; intellectual property protection and infringement risks; competition (including potential for generic competition); reliance on key management personnel; Medexus’s ability to implement its business plan; Medexus’s ability to leverage its U.S. and Canadian infrastructure to promote additional growth; regulatory approval by relevant health authorities, including the FDA; product reimbursement by third party payers; litigation or expiry with respect to patents or other intellectual property rights; litigation risk; stock price volatility; government regulation; and potential third party claims. Given these risks, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which are made only as of the date hereof. Other than as specifically required by law, Medexus undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, subsequent or otherwise.
