OTTAWA, ON, Oct. 27, 2022 /CNW/ - Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc.

As part of the closing of the second tranche of the Financing, the Company issued to the Investor $400,000 principal amount of debentures ("Debentures") and warrants to acquire 2,849,003 common shares at a price of $0.0351 per share (the "Warrants"). The Debentures issued as part of the second tranche do not bear interest and will mature on October 26, 2023. The Warrants issued as part of the second tranche have an expiry date of October 26, 2025.

Under the Amendment and Restated Subscription Agreement, the Debentures issued upon the first tranche and second tranche of the Financing are convertible into common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") at a conversion price equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange , rounded to two decimal places, for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the conversion of the applicable Debentures into Common Shares, having regard for any adjustments made in accordance with the terms of the Debentures.

Each closing of a tranche of the Financing is subject to a number of conditions precedent. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to meet all of the conditions precedent for a particular tranche. Therefore, the actual proceeds that the Company will receive under the terms of the Amended and Restated Subscription Agreement cannot be readily determined at this time.
