Annidis Corporation Announces Closing of its Promissory Note Financing and Completion of International Distribution Agreement

OTTAWA, June 26, 2013 /CNW/ - Annidis Corporation (TSX Venture: RHA), creator of the Annidis RHA™, today announced that it closed its $3,000,000 promissory note financing ("Financing") announced on November 29, 2012. The Company also announced its subsidiary completed a distribution agreement with Yimai Technology International Company Limited (YIMAI), a Hong Kong company which through its affiliates distributes ophthalmology products in China.

YIMAI subscribed for $1,000,000 of the promissory note offering ("Notes") which along with $333,313 of additional commitments from third parties completes the offering. Each lender received one common share purchase warrant ("Warrant") for every one dollar of principal loaned to Annidis.  Each Warrant may be exercised at a price of $0.40 per common share for a period of three years from the date of issuance, subject to early termination or expiry provisions. The Notes are secured by a general security agreement over the assets, including all intellectual property, of Annidis Health Systems Corp. In accordance with applicable securities laws, the securities issued in connection with the Financing are subject to a hold period of four months plus one day from the date on which they are issued. The proceeds from the Financing will be used by Annidis for general working capital purposes including accelerating manufacturing.

Annidis Health Systems Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Annidis, also entered into a distribution agreement with YIMAI to provide them exclusive distribution rights of Annidis products in the People's Republic of China, including Hong Kong and Macau. YIMAI, through its affiliate Shenzhen New Industries Material Of Ophthalmology Co. Ltd., markets and distributes ophthalmology products in China through its 13 nationwide offices. The term of the agreement is six years following the date of regulatory approval in China, and is on customary arm's length terms.

"YIMAI's knowledge and experience in China and its financial commitment to the Company provides an excellent opportunity for growth in one of the world's largest and fastest growing markets," said Gerald Slemko, CEO of Annidis. "Completing this agreement ahead of the third quarter as originally anticipated shows YIMAI's interest in our products and willingness to work together."

"This agreement allows us to bring our customers world-leading technology so they can provide their patients with world-class care," said Jinsong Zhang, CEO of YIMAI. "The RHA™ and MSI technology will allow our doctors to diagnose previously undetectable signs of eye disease and preserve their patient's eye-sight for years to come."

Pursuant to the Financing, Luc Lacombe (2650 Queensview Drive, Suite 245, Ottawa, Ontario, K2B 8H6), through a holding company, made a loan of $1,017,805 principal amount to Annidis and acquired ownership of 1,017,805 Warrants. Accordingly, Mr. Lacombe now has beneficial ownership of a combination of common shares and convertible securities representing an aggregate of 8,750,774 common shares of Annidis (or approximately 12.7% of Annidis' outstanding common shares on a partially diluted basis after completion of the Financing). Mr. Lacombe acquired the Warrants by way of private placement for investment purposes and may, from time to time, acquire additional securities of Annidis or dispose of such securities as he may deem appropriate.
