The deal was upsized from an earlier agreement that would see the company gross $11.25 million.
Under the term sheet, the bought deal public offering led by Canaccord Genuity Corp sees the firm purchase 6 million units priced at $2.50 per unit for gross proceeds of $15 million.
Each unit consists of one share and one-half of one warrant exercisable at $3.25 for a 24-month period following the closing of the offering. The warrants are subject to an acceleration right exercisable by Cardiol if the daily volume weighted average trading price on the Toronto Stock Exchange is more than $4.50 for 10 consecutive trading days.
Cardiol also granted Canaccord an overallotment option to purchase an additional 900,000 units at the same price as the offering, exercisable at any time for a 30-day period after the closing date. The move would generate additional proceeds of $2.25 million.
The offering is expected to close by June 4.
