generating $15 million in gross proceeds to be applied to the
working capital of the company. The financing was completed with
a number of leading health care focused institutional and retail

placement agent in this transaction.
“This financing
provides us with resources to continue the planned rapid
advancement of our robust pipeline of hematology and oncology
drug candidates,” said Steven Kelly, President and CEO of
INNOVIVE Pharmaceuticals. “In the coming months, we plan to move
forward with our development plan for INNO-406, including
initiation of two pivotal trials for chronic myelogenous
leukemia and manufacturing and regulatory activities to support
the trials. We also plan to initiate a Phase II trial with
INNO-206 in small cell lung cancer and a pivotal trial with
Tamibarotene for acute promyelocytic leukemia.”
The terms of the
offering include the issuance of approximately 5.5 million units
of common stock and warrants. Each unit consists of one share of
INNOVIVE common stock and one warrant to purchase one-half of a
share of INNOVIVE common stock. The units were sold at a price
of $2.73 per unit and the warrants are immediately exercisable
for a period of five years at an exercise price of $3.75 per
share. The shares of common stock and warrants sold in the
financing have not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or state securities laws, and may not be
offered or sold in the United States without registration under
or exemption from the Securities Act, or any applicable
securities laws. The company has agreed to file a registration
statement with the SEC for the resale of the shares of common
stock and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants
sold in the transaction.
