Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On November 10, 2014, Xenon Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) completed a private placement in which the Company issued and sold 495,000 of its common shares (the “Shares”) to Roche Finance Ltd. (“Roche”), concurrently with the closing of the Company’s initial public offering. The sale and issuance of the Shares was effected pursuant to the terms of the Common Share Put Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2014, by and between the Company and Roche.

The aggregate purchase price of the Shares was USD$4,455,000, representing a per share price of USD$9.00, the price that the Company’s common shares were sold to the public in the Company’s initial public offering. USD$311,850 of the aggregate purchase price was paid to the underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering for financial advisory services provided by the underwriters to the Company. The purchase price of the Shares was paid for by Roche in immediately available funds.

The sale and issuance of the Shares was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, under Section 4(a)(2) thereof as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. Roche acquired the Shares for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution of the Shares and appropriate legends were affixed thereto.
