Trimel Pharmaceuticals : Completes Private Placement Of Common Shares

Toronto, Canada, July 30, 2014 - Trimel Pharmaceuticals Corporation (TSX: TRL) today announced that it has completed the previously announced sale of an aggregate 28,801,000 common shares of the Company at a purchase price of CDN$0.62 per common share for gross proceeds of CDN$17,856,620.  The sale of the common shares was completed pursuant to an underwriting agreement with Cormark Securities Inc. ("Cormark") and subscription agreements with individual purchasers.  In connection with the private placement, the Company paid a commission to Cormark equal to approximately 5.5% of the gross proceeds from the placement.  All common shares issued as part of the private placement are subject to a four month hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The Company intends to use the full net proceeds from the private placement to repay a significant portion of a convertible promissory note previously issued to First Generation Capital Inc. ("First Generation"), a company affiliated with Mr. Ian Ihnatowycz, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.  Following this repayment, First Generation has advised that it intends to convert a portion of the note into a total of 8,945,796 common shares following August 21, 2014.  Following such conversion, First Generation would hold approximately 23.7% of the Company's common shares, thereby maintaining its current securityholding percentage.  The indebtedness remaining under the note (expected to equal approximately US$4.1 million) following such conversion and repayment would remain outstanding in accordance with the terms of the note and no longer be convertible into common shares after such time.
