Mira IV Acquisition Corp. Announces Proposed Qualifying Transaction With Profound Medical Inc.

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR DISSEMINATION THROUGH U.S NEWS AND WIRE SERVICES/

TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE: MRY.P

TORONTO, Nov. 5, 2014 /CNW/ - Mira IV Acquisition Corp. ("Mira") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent dated November 5, 2014 with Profound Medical Inc. ("Profound"), a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of Ontario, to complete a going-public transaction for Profound (the "Proposed Transaction").

It is currently anticipated that the Proposed Transaction will proceed by way of a "three-cornered" amalgamation under Ontario law, pursuant to which Profound will combine its corporate existence with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mira. For convenience, Mira, as it will exist after completion of the Proposed Transaction, is sometimes referred to herein as the "Resulting Issuer".

Mira intends that the Proposed Transaction will constitute its "Qualifying Transaction" under Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). The Proposed Transaction will be an arm's length transaction.

Profound is a Canadian medical device company that is developing and commercializing a unique, minimally invasive treatment for prostate cancer. Profound's novel technology combines Magnetic Resonance Imaging ("MRI") guidance and ultrasound energy to deliver thermal ablative therapy to the prostate gland. Delivered via a trans-urethral approach, the technique combines the image quality of MRI with thermal ultrasound as the treatment tool.  This method of prostate cancer treatment affords highly accurate and precise treatment within the prostate gland in a short time span in an outpatient setting.  Profound recently completed enrollment in its 30 patient multi-jurisdictional TULSA safety and feasibility trial.

If the Proposed Transaction is completed, it is anticipated that the board of directors of the Resulting Issuer (the "New Slate") will consist of between three (3) and nine (9) directors, all of whom will be nominated by Profound, and the executive officers of the Resulting Issuer will be appointed by the New Slate. The New Slate will be put forth and nominated at a meeting of Mira's shareholders to be held prior to the completion of the Proposed Transaction.

In conjunction with, and prior to the closing of the Proposed Transaction, Profound intends to complete a brokered private placement of subscription receipts for gross proceeds of up to $30 million (the "Private Placement"). Each subscription receipt will be automatically exchanged for one common share of Profound immediately prior to the completion of the Proposed Transaction and upon the satisfaction of specified escrow release conditions, including the completion or waiver of all conditions precedent to the Proposed Transaction and the conditional approval for listing of the common shares of the Resulting Issuer on the TSXV.

Pursuant to the Proposed Transaction it is intended that: (i) the outstanding common shares of Mira will be consolidated on the basis of a consolidation ratio to be determined in the context of the closing of the Private Placement (the "Consolidation"); and (ii) the holders of Profound common shares (including those investors in the Private Placement) will receive one common share of the Resulting Issuer in exchange for each outstanding Profound common share (on a post-Consolidation basis). The outstanding options of Mira will be adjusted accordingly to reflect the Consolidation. Following the completion of the Proposed Transaction, the shareholders of Profound (including those investors in the Private Placement) will hold a significant majority of the outstanding common shares of the Resulting Issuer.

For the purposes of the Proposed Transaction, the deemed value of each common share of Mira will be $0.11 (on a pre-Consolidation basis).

A comprehensive press release with further particulars relating to the Proposed Transaction and the Resulting Issuer will follow in accordance with the policies of the TSXV.

Completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including, but not limited to: completion of satisfactory due diligence; completion of the Private Placement; execution of a definitive agreement in respect of the Proposed Transaction; receipt of requisite regulatory approvals; acceptance of the Proposed Transaction as Mira's Qualifying Transaction by the TSXV; receipt of all requisite approvals from the shareholders of each of Mira and Profound for the Proposed Transaction and/or ancillary matters relating thereto; and the completion of all other actions necessary to consummate the Proposed Transaction. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the management information circular or filing statement to be prepared in connection with the Proposed Transaction, any information released or received with respect to the Proposed Transaction may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon. Trading in securities of a capital pool company should be considered highly speculative.

Neither the TSXV nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSXV) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this press release.
