The definitive Offering terms will be confirmed at the time of pricing pursuant to the terms of an underwriting agreement to be entered into between the Company and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. There can be no assurance as to whether or when the Offering may be completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the Offering. The Offering is expected to close on or about August 4, 2023, or such other date as the Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and the Company may agree, and completion of the Offering will be subject to market and other customary conditions, including approval of the Neo Exchange Inc., now operating as Cboe Canada (the “Exchange”).

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for the progression of the Company’s CYB003 and CYB004 programs, and for general corporate and working capital purposes.

The Units will be offered in each of the provinces of Canada, excluding Quebec and in the United States, pursuant to a prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the Company’s short form base shelf prospectus dated July 5, 2021 (the “Base Shelf Prospectus”). The Prospectus Supplement will also be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as part of a registration statement on Form F-10, which was declared effective by the SEC on October 8, 2021 in accordance with the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System established between Canada and the United States.
