VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 21, 2022 / Gemina Laboratories Ltd. (the "Company" or "Gemina") (CSE:GLAB) (FRA:8I7) is pleased to announce that the Company has engaged Leede Jones Gable Inc., as agent, (the "Agent") to offer, on a commercially reasonable best efforts basis (the "Financing"), up to 8,334,000 units of the Company ("Units") at a price of $0.60 per Unit (the "Unit Price") for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $5,000,400 (the "Financing Proceeds"). The Company has agreed to grant the Agent an option to increase the size of the Financing by up to 15%, exercisable in whole or in part at any time for a period of 30 days after and including the closing date of the Financing.

Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of Gemina (a "Share") and one Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Share at a price equal to $0.80 for a period of 60 months, subject to acceleration in certain circumstances. The Units will be qualified for distribution by way of shelf prospectus supplement pursuant to a short form base prospectus of the Company dated January 10, 2022.

In consideration for the Agent's services with respect to the Financing, Gemina will (i) pay the Agent a cash fee of 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Financing (including the Over-Allotment Option), payable on the closing of the Financing (and the closing of the Over-Allotment Option, if applicable), and (ii) issue warrants (the "Agent Compensation Warrants") to purchase that number of Shares of the Company equal to 7% of the aggregate number of Units sold pursuant to the Financing, including the Over-Allotment Option. Each Agent Compensation Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one Share at the Unit Price for a period of 60 months.

It is anticipated that the net proceeds from the Financing will be used by the Company to finance product development and potential strategic acquisitions, and for research and development, working capital and general corporate purposes. The fees payable to the Agent and the Financing are subject to CSE approval.
