WARRANT
TO PURCHASE COMMON SHARES OF CYNAPSUS THERAPEUTICS INC.
THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT, for value received, ___________ (the “holder”) is entitled to subscribe for and to purchase, AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO 5:00 P.M., TORONTO TIME, ON THE EXPIRY DATE (as hereinafter defined), fully paid and non-assessable common shares (“Common Shares”) of Cynapsus Therapeutics Inc. (the “Corporation”) as constituted on the date hereof (as hereinafter defined), on the basis of one Common Share for each one Warrant, at an exercise price of $9.20 (Canadian) per Common Share, by surrendering this Warrant Certificate to the warrant agent specified below with a subscription form (FORM 1) properly completed and executed, and a certified cheque, bank draft or money order in lawful money of Canada payable to or to the order of the Corporation, for the total purchase price of the Common Shares so subscribed for and purchased. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Warrant Certificate and the provisions of the Warrant Indenture (as hereinafter defined), the provisions of the Warrant Indenture shall prevail.
The Expiry Date is the earlier of: (i) the expiration of thirty (30) days after prior written notice from the Corporation that the closing price of the Common Shares on the principal stock exchange of the Corporation has been $22.08 per Common Share for twenty (20) consecutive trading days, and (ii) March 1, 2018.
The holder of this Warrant Certificate may subscribe for and purchase less than the number of Common Shares entitled to be subscribed for and purchased on surrender of this Warrant Certificate. If the subscription does not exhaust the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate, a Warrant Certificate representing the balance of the Warrants will be issued to the holder. No Warrant Certificate representing fractional Warrants will be issued and the holder hereof understands and agrees that such holder will not be entitled to any cash payment or other form of compensation in respect of a fractional Warrant. By acceptance hereof, the holder expressly waives any right to receive fractional Common Shares upon exercise hereof. If the number of Common Shares to which a Warrantholder would otherwise be entitled upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate is not a whole number, then the number of Common Shares to be issued will be rounded down to the next whole number.
The principal office of Equity Financial Trust Company (the “Warrant Agent”) in the City of Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, has been appointed the warrant agent to receive subscriptions for Common Shares and payments from holders of Warrant Certificates. This Warrant Certificate, the subscription form (FORM 1), and a certified cheque, bank draft or money order shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Warrant Agent only upon personal delivery thereof or, if sent by post or other means of transmission, upon receipt thereof by the Warrant Agent at the office specified above. The Corporation may also provide for other places at which this Warrant Certificate may be surrendered for exchange or exercise. If mail is used for delivery of a Warrant Certificate, for the protection of the holder, registered mail should be used and sufficient time should be allowed to avoid the risk of late delivery. Subject to adjustment hereof in the events and in the manner set forth in the Warrant Indenture hereafter mentioned and summarized below, the price payable for each Common Share upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate shall be $9.20 (Canadian).
Certificates representing Common Shares subscribed for and purchased will be mailed to the persons specified in the subscription form (FORM 1) at the respective addresses specified therein or, if so specified in the subscription form (FORM 1), delivered to such persons at the office of the Warrant Agent where the applicable Warrant Certificate was surrendered, when the transfer books of the Corporation have been opened for five Business Days after the due surrender of such Warrant Certificate and payment as aforesaid, including any applicable taxes.
2. |
The Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate may only be transferred, upon compliance with the conditions prescribed in the Warrant Indenture, on the register of transfers to be kept at the principal office of the Warrant Agent in Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, by the holder or his executors, administrators or other legal representatives or his or their attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and executed in a manner satisfactory to the Warrant Agent and, upon compliance with such requirements and such other reasonable requirements as the Warrant Agent may prescribe, such transfer will be duly recorded on such register of transfers by the Warrant Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation will be entitled, and may direct the Warrant Agent, to refuse to record any transfer of any Warrant on such register if such transfer would constitute a violation of the securities laws of any jurisdiction.
This Warrant Certificate represents warrants of the Corporation issued or issuable under the provisions of an indenture dated as of March 1, 2013 between the Corporation and the Warrant Agent, as supplemented by a supplemental warrant indenture dated as of May 15, 2015 between the Corporation and the Warrant Agent (which, collectively, together with all other instruments supplemental or ancillary thereto are herein referred to as the “Warrant Indenture”) to which reference is hereby made for particulars of the rights of the holders of the Warrant Certificates, the Corporation and the Warrant Agent in respect thereof and the terms and conditions upon which the Warrants represented hereby are issued and held, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Warrant Indenture were herein set forth in full, to all of which the holder of this Warrant Certificate by acceptance hereof assents, it being expressly understood that the provisions of the Warrant Indenture and this Warrant Certificate are for the sole benefit of the Corporation, the Warrant Agent and the Warrantholders. A copy of the Warrant Indenture may be obtained on request without charge from the secretary of the Corporation, at 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx X0X 0X0, telephone: 000-000-0000. Words and terms in this Warrant Certificate with the initial letter or letters capitalized and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such capitalized words and terms in the Warrant Indenture.
Warrants may not be exercised by or on behalf of a person in the United States or a “U.S. person” (a “U.S. Person”), as such term is defined in Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), unless an exemption from registration is available under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws and the Corporation has received an opinion of counsel of recognized standing or other evidence in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation to such effect; provided, however, that a Warrantholder who is an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the 1933 Act (a “U.S. Accredited Investor”), at the time of exercise of Warrants and that purchased units (“Units”), with each Unit comprised of one Common Share and one Warrant, in the Corporation’s private placement of Units in the United States and to U.S. Persons will not be required to deliver an opinion of counsel or other evidence in connection with the exercise of Warrants underlying those Units as long as the Warrantholder is a U.S. Accredited Investor and the other representations and warranties made by such Warrantholder at the time of purchase of the Units also remain true and correct.
Common Shares issued upon exercise of Warrants to, or for the account or benefit of, a person in the United States or a U.S. Person will contain a legend restricting transfer under United States federal and state securities laws.
3. |
Nothing contained in this Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Indenture or otherwise shall be construed as conferring upon the holder hereof any right or interest whatsoever as a holder of Common Shares or other shareholder of the Corporation or any other right or interest except as herein and in the Warrant Indenture expressly provided.
The Warrant Indenture provides for adjustments to the exercise price of the Warrants and to the number and kind of securities purchaseable upon exercise upon the happening of certain stated events including the subdivision or consolidation of the Common Shares, certain distributions of Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares or of other assets or property of the Corporation, certain offerings of rights, warrants or options and certain reorganizations.
The Warrant Indenture provides for the giving of notice by the Corporation prior to taking certain actions specified therein. The Corporation may from time to time purchase any of the Warrants by private contract or otherwise. Any such Warrants purchased by the Corporation shall be cancelled.
This Warrant Certificate, the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Indenture shall be governed by and performed, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.
This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid for any purpose until it has been countersigned by or on behalf of the Warrant Agent for the time being under the Warrant Indenture.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Corporation has caused this Warrant Certificate to be executed by its respective authorized officers as of this day of , 201 .
