(TSXV: PINK) (OTC: PYNKF) ("Perimeter" or the "Company"), a commercial-stage medical technology company, is pleased to announce the second and final closing (the "Second Closing") of its non-brokered private placement of common shares in the capital of the Company ("Common Shares") announced on September 10, 2024 (the "Offering").
Under the Second Closing, the Company issued 4,846,501 Common Shares at a price of $0.42 per Common Share, for gross proceeds of $2,035,530. On September 30, 2024, the Company announced the initial closing of the Offering with proceeds of $9,857,636.

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for working capital, commercialization of Perimeter's technology, clinical studies and the further development of Perimeter's technology, and general corporate purposes.

In connection with the Second Closing, the Company paid finder's fees to certain arm's length finders, consisting of a cash fee equal to $53,285 in the aggregate.
The Common Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any U.S. state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an available exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the securities referenced in this press release, in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
In addition to insider participation in the initial closing announced on September 30, 2024, with respect to the Second Closing, Adrian Mendes, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, purchased a total of 321,750 Common Shares under the Offering, and Suzanne Foster, a director of the Company, purchased a total of 70,000 Common Shares under the Offering. The placement to such persons constituted a "related party transaction" within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of related party participation in the placement as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involved the related parties, exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101). The Company has not filed a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Offering as the details of the Offering and the participants thereof had not yet been finalized.
