Hemostemix Closes $360,000 First Tranche of Private Placement

Pre-revenue stem cell therapy developer advancing ACP-01 across ischemic indications while navigating severe liquidity constraints and ongoing dilutive financings.

Executive Summary
  • Hemostemix Inc. closed the first tranche of its previously announced $1,000,000 non-brokered private placement.
  • The company raised CDN$360,000 by issuing 7,200,000 units at CDN$0.05 per unit.
  • Each unit consists of one common share and one-half of a common share purchase warrant.
  • Warrants carry a CDN$0.12 exercise price and a 24-month term, with an acceleration clause if the stock trades at or above CDN$0.15 for 10 consecutive days.
  • Proceeds are earmarked for sales, marketing, patient acquisition, physician education, ACP-01 manufacturing, Bahamas regulatory filings, and general working capital.
  • The offering remains subject to final TSX Venture Exchange acceptance and carries a statutory 4-month + 1-day hold period.
  • This follows the June 17, 2026 announcement of the $1M placement and a financial restatement regarding Therapeutic Convertible Debentures (TCDs).
Material Impact
  • The $360,000 tranche provides immediate, albeit limited, liquidity to a company with only $171,584 CAD in cash and a $1.37M working capital deficit.
  • At a $0.05 price, the placement is highly dilutive, issuing 7.2M new shares/warrants against a ~197.8M share count.
  • The funds extend operational runway by approximately 3 to 4 months, assuming the current ~$800,000 CAD quarterly burn rate continues.
  • The financing is a direct follow-up to the June 17 announcement, meaning the market was already aware of the capital raise.
  • The restatement disclosed on June 17 was primarily non-cash (reclassifying TCDs to FVTPL), so it does not alter the cash position or operational strategy, but it highlights internal control weaknesses.
