Warrant #10

CERTIFICATE

UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY AND ANY COMMON SHARES ACQUIRED ON AN EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE •, 2019.

PROMETIC LIFE SCIENCES INC.

THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE CERTIFIES that, for value received, Structured Alpha LP and its transferees and assigns (the “Holder”) is the registered holder of 168,735,308 warrants (the “Warrants”), each of which entitles the Holder, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this certificate, to acquire from ProMetic Life Sciences Inc. (the “Corporation”) one fully-paid and non-assessable common share in the capital of the Corporation (a “Common Share”) in consideration for the payment of the amount set out in Section 1.2 at any time before 5:00 p.m. (Montreal time) on [•], 2027 (the “Time of Expiry”).

SECTION 1. EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

1.1 Election to Acquire

The Holder may exercise the Warrants in whole or in part and in accordance with these provisions by delivering with this certificate an Election to Exercise in substantially the attached form, properly completed and signed, together with a payment made in accordance with Section 1.2 for the number of Common Shares specified in the Election to Exercise at the principal office of the Corporation at its head office at 440 Boul. Armand-Frappier, Suite 300, Laval, Québec, Canada, H7V 4B4, or such other address in Canada as may be notified in writing by the Corporation, to the attention of the Corporate Secretary of the Corporation. If the Warrants are exercised in part, the Corporation shall, contemporaneously with the issue of the Common Shares issuable on such exercise, issue to the Holder a Warrant certificate on identical terms representing the unexercised Warrants.

1.2 Exercise Price

The exercise price for the Warrants shall be $0.01521 (the “Exercise Price”).

1.3 Exercise

The Corporation shall, on the date it receives with this certificate a duly signed Election to Exercise and the Exercise Price for the number of Common Shares specified in the Election to Exercise (the “Exercise Date”), issue that number of Common Shares specified in the Election to Exercise as fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares.

The exercise of the Warrants is conditional upon the Holder complying with the insider regulatory requirements.

 


1.4 Certificate

As promptly as practicable after the Exercise Date and, in any event, within three business days of receipt of the Election to Exercise and payment of the Exercise Price, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to the Holder, registered in such name or names as the Holder may direct or, if no such direction has been given, in the name of the Holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of Common Shares specified in the Election to Exercise. To the extent permitted by law, such exercise will be deemed to be in effect as of the close of business on the Exercise Date, and at that time the rights of the Holder with respect to the number of Warrants that have been exercised as such will cease, and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for Common Shares will then be issuable will be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Common Shares represented thereby.

1.5 Fractional Shares

The Corporation shall not issue any fraction of a Common Share on the exercise of a Warrant. If a Warrant confers the right to be issued a fraction of a Common Share, the number of Common Shares to be issued will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

SECTION 2. ADJUSTMENTS

2.1 Adjustments

Subject to Section 2.2, the Exercise Price and the number of Common Shares are subject to the following adjustments each time such an event occurs.

 

(a)

If the Corporation:

 

  (1)

subdivides or splits the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares; or

 

  (2)

reduces, combines or consolidates the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares;

the Exercise Price in effect on the effective date of that subdivision, split, reduction, combination or consolidation will:

 

  (x)

in the case of an event referred to in (1), decrease in proportion to the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from the subdivision, split or dividend; or

 

  (y)

in the case of an event referred to in (2), increase in proportion to the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from the reduction, combination or consolidation.

Any adjustment to the Exercise Price under this Section 2.1(a) will include a corresponding adjustment to the number of Common Shares or other classes of shares or securities that the Holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrants (and which, as at the date of this certificate, is equal to one Common Share per Warrant).

 

- 2 -


(b)

If the Corporation fixes a record date for the issue of options, rights or warrants to the holders of all or substantially all outstanding Common Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date, to acquire Common Shares (or securities convertible into Common Shares) at a price per Common Share (or having a conversion or exchange price per Common Share) equal to less than 95% of the Current Market Price (as defined in SECTION 5 hereto) per Common Share on the record date, the Exercise Price in effect immediately after that record date will equal a price determined by subtracting from the Exercise Price in effect on the record date the difference between (a) the Current Market Price per Common Share on the record date and (b) the volume weighted average trading price per Common Share for the five trading days starting two trading days prior to the record date as agreed to by the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”).

 

(c)

If the Corporation fixes a record date for a dividend or distribution to the holders of all or substantially all outstanding Common Shares of:

 

  (1)

shares of any class (excluding shares distributed to holders of Common Shares who have elected to receive dividends or distributions in the form of such shares in lieu of cash dividends or distributions paid in the ordinary course);

 

  (2)

rights, options or warrants (excluding rights, options or warrants entitling their holders to acquire or purchase Common Shares or securities convertible into Common Shares for a period of not more than 45 days after the record date);

 

  (3)

evidences of indebtedness; or

 

  (4)

assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions paid in the ordinary course);

the Exercise Price in effect immediately after that record date will equal a price determined by subtracting from the Exercise Price in effect on the record date the difference between (a) the Current Market Price per Common Share on the record date and (b) the volume weighted average trading price per Common Share for the five trading days starting two trading days prior to the record date as agreed to by the TSX.

 

(d)

Upon:

 

  (1)

a reclassification of the Common Shares or a capital reorganization of the Corporation other than as described in Section 2.1(a);

 

  (2)

a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Corporation with or into any other person;

 

  (3)

a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all or conveyance of the property of the Corporation to any other person;

 

  (4)

a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation; or

 

  (5)

another similar transaction;

 

 

- 3 -


if the Holder has not exercised in whole the Warrants before the effective date of that transaction, upon exercise of those Warrants, the Holder will be entitled to receive and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Common Shares sought to be acquired, the number of shares or other securities or property that the Holder would have been entitled to receive on that transaction if, on its effective date, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares sought to be acquired under those Warrants.

2.2 Rules

 

(a)

The adjustments referred to in Section 2.1 are cumulative and are subject to TSX prior approval.

 

(b)

If a dispute arises with respect to any adjustment of the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares purchasable under the Warrants, that dispute shall be conclusively determined by the Corporation’s independent external auditors or, if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such other “Big 4” firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by the Corporation’s board of directors and reasonably acceptable to the Holder.

2.3 Taking of Actions

Before taking an action that would require an adjustment under Section 2.1, the Corporation shall take all actions that may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable shares or other securities all of the Common Shares or other securities that the Holder is entitled to receive in accordance with this SECTION 2, including receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.

2.4 Notice of Adjustment

Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price or any increase or decrease in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Corporation shall give written notice thereof to the Holder at its address as shown on the books of the Corporation. The notice shall be signed by the Corporation’s chief financial officer and shall state the Exercise Price resulting from the adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of Common Shares purchasable at that price upon exercise of the Warrants, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which the calculation is based.

SECTION 3. COMMON SHARES TO BE RESERVED

The Corporation shall at all times keep available out of its authorized capital, solely for the purpose of issue upon the exercise of Warrants, such number of Common Shares as will then be issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants. All Common Shares that will be issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants (including payment of the Exercise Price) shall, upon issue, be duly authorized and issued as fully paid and non-assessable. The Corporation shall take such actions as may be reasonably necessary and as are within its power to ensure that all those Common Shares and Warrants may be so issued without violation of any applicable requirements of any exchange upon which the Common Shares may be listed or in respect of which the Common Shares are qualified for unlisted trading privileges. The Corporation shall take all such actions as may be reasonably necessary and are within its power to ensure that all those Common Shares and Warrants may be so issued without violation of any applicable law.

 

- 4 -


The Corporation will cause the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants to be approved for listing and trading upon issuance.

SECTION 4. LISTING AND TRADING

The Corporation shall, at its expense and as expeditiously as possible, cause all Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants to be (a) duly listed on the TSX or any other applicable exchange and (b) freely tradable in Canada.

SECTION 5. CURRENT MARKET PRICE

For the purpose of any computation under this certificate, “Current Market Price”, in respect of a Common Share at any date, means the volume weighted average trading price (as indicated on the Thomson Reuters Eikon service) per Common Share for the five trading days immediately preceding that date or, if that date is an effective date or a record date, the third trading day before that date on the TSX, as agreed to by the TSX, or if the Common Shares are not then listed on the TSX, on such stock exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed as may be selected for such purpose by the Corporation or, if the Common Shares are not then listed on a stock exchange then on the over-the-counter market; the volume weighted average trading price is equal to the total value divided by the total volume of all Common Shares traded on that exchange or market, as the case may be, during the relevant period; if there is no market for the Common Shares during all or part of such period, the Current Market Price, in respect of all or such part of that period, shall be determined by the Corporation’s board of directors.

SECTION 6. NO IMPAIRMENT

The Corporation shall not, by amendment of articles of incorporation or bylaws or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Corporation, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all the provisions of this Warrant and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the Holder’s rights hereunder.

SECTION 7. PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER DUTIES

The Corporation shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all applicable stamp, registration, bank transaction and other taxes (other than income tax and capital gains tax in respect of the Holder), if any, and all other taxes and other governmental charges that may be properly imposed on the Corporation in respect of the issue or delivery of the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, and shall indemnify and hold the Holder or its affiliates harmless from any such taxes, including related interest and penalties which may become payable by the Holder or its affiliates as a result of the failure or delay by the Corporation to pay such taxes specified above. For the purposes hereof, “other taxes” means any present or future stamp, documentary or similar issue or transfer taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies in respect of the issue or delivery of the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

 

- 5 -


SECTION 8. REPLACEMENT

Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this certificate and, if requested by the Corporation, upon delivery of a bond of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (or, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender of this certificate), the Corporation shall issue to the Holder a replacement certificate (containing the same terms and conditions as this certificate).

SECTION 9. TRANSFER OF WARRANTS

Subject to compliance with all applicable laws (including, for greater certainty, securities laws), this Warrant and all rights hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred by the Holder in whole or in part.

SECTION 10. EXPIRY DATE

The Warrants will expire, cease and become null and void at the Time of Expiry.

SECTION 11. INABILITY TO DELIVER

If for any reason, other than the failure or default of the Holder or the Corporation, the Corporation is unable to issue and deliver Common Shares or other securities to the Holder upon the proper exercise by the Holder of a Warrant pursuant to Section 1.2, the Corporation shall pay, at its option and in complete satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, to the Holder, in cash, an amount equal to the difference between the Exercise Price and the Current Market Price of the Common Shares or other securities on the Exercise Date.

SECTION 12. CURRENCY

Unless otherwise specified, an amount in currency is in Canadian dollars.

SECTION 13. SUCCESSOR

This certificate binds and is for the benefit of the Holder and the Corporation and their respective successors or permitted assigns.

SECTION 14. GOVERNING LAW

The Warrants shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Each party hereto irrevocably attorns and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Ontario courts situated in the City of Toronto and waives objection to the venue of any proceeding in such court or that such court provides an inconvenient forum. The parties agree that they will not bring any proceedings relating to any issue arising from the Warrants in any court outside Ontario. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may initiate, continue or otherwise bring a proceeding in a jurisdiction other than Ontario if the Holder believes, in its sole discretion, that doing so will expedite or otherwise benefit its ability to enforce its rights under the Warrants.
