Profound Medical Corp. (TSX: PRN; NASDAQ: PROF)
(“
Profound” or the “
Company”)
announces that it has established an at-the-market equity program
(the “
ATM Program”) that allows the Company,
through certain securities dealers acting as agents (together, the
“
Agents“), to issue and sell from time to time up
to US$30,000,000 of common shares in the capital of the Company
(the “
Common Shares”).
Any Common Shares sold under the ATM Program
will be made through “at-the-market distributions” as defined in
the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 44-102
- Shelf Distributions, including sales made through the Toronto
Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) or the Nasdaq Stock
Market LLC (the “Nasdaq”) or on any other trading
market for the Common Shares. The TSX has conditionally approved
the listing of the Common Shares that may be issued under the ATM
Program and listing will be subject to the Company fulfilling all
of the listing requirements of the TSX. Distributions of the Common
Shares under the ATM Program will be made pursuant to the terms of
an equity distribution agreement dated September 6, 2023 (the
“Distribution Agreement”) between the Company and
the Agents.
The Sales of Common Shares, if any, will be made
at the market prices prevailing at the time of each sale and, as a
result, prices may vary as between purchasers and during the period
of the ATM Program. The volume and timing of distributions under
the ATM Program will be determined at the Company’s discretion. The
ATM Program will be effective until the earlier of the issuance and
sale of all of the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the ATM
Program and April 23, 2024, unless terminated prior to such date in
accordance with the terms of the Distribution Agreement.
The offering of the Common Shares under the ATM
Program will be made pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated
September 6, 2023 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to
the Company’s short form base shelf prospectus dated March 23, 2022
(the “Base Shelf Prospectus”), which were each
filed with the applicable securities regulatory authorities in each
of the provinces and territories of Canada, and in the United
States pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated September 6, 2023
(the “U.S. Prospectus
Supplement”) to the Company’s U.S. base shelf prospectus
(the ”U.S. Base Shelf Prospectus“) included in its
registration statement on Form F-10, as amended (File No.
333-263248) (the “Registration Statement”), filed
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the U.S.
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The timing and extent of the use of the ATM
Program will be at the discretion of the Company. Accordingly,
total gross proceeds from equity offerings under the ATM Program
could be significantly less than US$30,000,000.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of
the Offering, if any: (i) to fund the continued commercialization
of the TULSA-PRO® system in the United States, (ii) to fund the
continued development and commercialization of the TULSA-PRO®
system and the Sonalleve® system globally, and (iii) for working
capital and general corporate purposes.

About Profound Medical
Corp.
Profound is a commercial-stage medical device
company that develops and markets customizable, incision-free
therapies for the ablation of diseased tissue.
Profound is commercializing TULSA-PRO®, a
technology that combines real-time MRI, robotically-driven
transurethral ultrasound and closed-loop temperature feedback
control. TULSA-PRO® is designed to provide customizable and
predictable radiation-free ablation of a surgeon-defined prostate
volume while actively protecting the urethra and rectum to help
preserve the patient’s natural functional abilities. TULSA-PRO® has
the potential to be a flexible technology in customizable prostate
ablation, including intermediate stage cancer, localized
radio-recurrent cancer, retention and hematuria palliation in
locally advanced prostate cancer, and the transition zone in large
volume benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). TULSA-PRO® is CE marked,
Health Canada approved, and 510(k) cleared by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (“FDA”).
Profound is also commercializing Sonalleve®, an
innovative therapeutic platform that is CE marked for the treatment
of uterine fibroids and palliative pain treatment of bone
metastases. Sonalleve® has also been approved by the China National
Medical Products Administration for the non-invasive treatment of
uterine fibroids and has FDA approval under a Humanitarian Device
Exemption for the treatment of osteoid osteoma. The Company is in
the early stages of exploring additional potential treatment
markets for Sonalleve® where the technology has been shown to have
clinical application, such as non-invasive ablation of abdominal
cancers and hyperthermia for cancer therapy.
