CARLSBAD, Calif., Sept. 15, 2021 — Aurora Spine Corporation (“Aurora Spine” or the “Company“) (TSXV: ASG) (OTCQB: ASAPF), a designer and manufacturer of innovative medical devices that improve spinal surgery outcomes, today announced that it has entered into securities purchase agreements for a private placement of the Company’s common shares (or common share equivalents) (a “Common Share” and, collectively, the “Common Shares“) and warrants to purchase common shares (“Common Warrants“) to institutional investors for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately C$6.5 million (the “Private Placement“). Pursuant to the Private Placement, the Company will issue up to 11,220,930 Common Shares and Common Warrants to purchase up to 8,415,697 Common Shares at a combined purchase price of C$0.58 per Common Share and associated Common Warrant. Each Common Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of C$0.75 per share at any time prior to the three-year anniversary of the closing date of the Private Placement (the “Closing Date“). The Company expects the Closing Date to occur on or about September 17, 2021. The Private Placement is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, including the receipt of all necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
