Under the terms of the private placement, an aggregate of 1,050,000 units were purchased, each unit comprised of one common share and 0.66 of a warrant to purchase one common share, at a placement price of US$4.25 per unit. The warrants have an exercise price of US$4.85, are exercisable six months following issuance, and have a term of five and one half years following issuance. After the placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, the Company expects to receive net proceeds of approximately US$4.0 million.
InMed intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital purposes.
The securities issued in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or applicable under state securities laws.

As part of the transaction, InMed has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 30 days of the closing to register the common shares and the common shares acquirable upon exercise of the warrants issued in the private placement.
No securities were offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in Canada or to any resident of Canada.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
