Medifocus will pay finder’s fees of $161,100 in cash and issue 644,400 finder’s Warrants in respect of the financing. Each finder’s Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional Common Share at a price of $0.30 per Common Share for a period of 36 months following the completion of the Offering.

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to accelerate the commercialization of the Prolieve® technology and for working capital.

This capital injection will allow us to move forward with our plans for the growth of our Prolieve® business. We have surpassed our goals by increasing Prolieve® user sites from 61 in July 2012, when we first purchased the Prolieve® business, to over 240 today. With the excellent safety and efficacy profile of our Prolieve® treatment, we expect continued growth in both revenue and user sites in 2014 and the further strengthening of our position in the market place.”
