Securityholder Meeting in Connection with Privatization of Ondine and Debt Financing
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Aug. 4, 2011) - Ondine Biomedical Inc. (the "Company" or "Ondine")
(TSX:OBP)(AIM:OBP) today announced that it has mailed in accordance with regulatory requirements the formal
notice, accompanying management information circular, and other related documents (the "Meeting Materials') in
connection with the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and Special Meeting of Securityholders
(collectively, the "Meeting") to be held on Tuesday, August 30, 2011. At the Meeting, Ondine's securityholders
will vote on, among other things, a resolution to approve the proposed plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement")
that was previously announced in the Company's news release dated June 28, 2011 (the "Arrangement News
Release"). Copies of the Meeting Materials are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company's website
at www.ondinebio.com. Completion of the Arrangement is subject to a number of conditions including, among other
things, receipt of required securityholder, court, and regulatory approvals.
In connection with the Arrangement, Merrill Biel, who is a director of the Company, his spouse and another
party (collectively, the "APT Vendors") have entered into an agreement with the Company (the "APT Amending
Agreement") which amends the share purchase agreement among the APT Vendors and the Company made as of November
15, 2009, as previously amended (the "APT SPA"). Under the APT SPA, the Company is obligated to issue up to an
additional 528,276 common shares of Ondine on the achievement of certain development and clinical milestones.
Under the APT Amending Agreement, if the Arrangement becomes effective, the Company's obligation to issue
common shares of Ondine to the APT Vendors on a pro rata basis if all of the remaining six milestones are
achieved would be extinguished and replaced by an obligation to make pro rata cash payments instead. The amount
of cash payable for reaching each milestone is an amount equal to $0.33 times the number of shares that would
have otherwise been issuable on attainment of the milestone. Accordingly, the aggregate cash consideration
would be $174,331 if all of the remaining milestones are met within the specified time frames. Additionally,
for two of the milestones in connection with the Company's product for the prevention of ventilator associated
pneumonia, the APT Amending Agreement extends the period during which the milestone must occur from five years
to eight years from the date of Closing (as defined in the APT SPA).
The Company has also entered into a loan agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with 0902337 B.C. Ltd. (the
"Purchaser') in connection with the bridge loan (the "Bridge Loan") of up to $750,000 as described in the
Arrangement News Release. The Purchaser is a private company whose sole shareholder is Carolyn Cross, Chairman,
Chief Executive Officer and a shareholder of Ondine. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Purchaser advanced
$750,000 to the Company on August 3, 2011. The Bridge Loan is due on demand or on termination of the
Arrangement Agreement pursuant to its terms. The Bridge Loan is interest free if paid in full on or before
October 1, 2011 and thereafter will bear interest at 5% per annum payable at the end of each month commencing
on October 31, 2011.
The APT Amending Agreement entered into by the Company and the APT Vendors and the Loan Agreement entered into
by Company and the Purchaser constitute related party transactions for the purposes of the AIM Rules for
Companies (the "Related Party Transactions"). Accordingly, the directors of the Company (excluding Merrill
Biel, with respect to the APT Amending Agreement, and Carolyn Cross, with respect to the Loan Agreement),
having consulted with its nominated adviser, consider the terms of the Related Party Transactions to be fair
and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
At the Meeting, Ondine's shareholders ("Shareholders") will also vote on a resolution (the "AIM Delisting
Resolution") authorizing the Company to apply to cancel the admission of the Company's common shares (the
"Common Shares") on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange (the "AIM"). The Company will only cancel the
admission of the Common Shares on the AIM if the Arrangement becomes effective, as the Company will then have
only one Shareholder, 0902337 B.C. Ltd., being the Purchaser under the Arrangement. In accordance with the Aim
Rules for Companies, in order to become effective, the AIM Delisting Resolution must be approved by at least
three-quarters (75%) of the votes cast on the AIM Delisting Resolution by Shareholders present in person or by
proxy at the Meeting. If the Arrangement and the AIM Delisting Resolutions are approved at the Meeting and the
Arrangement becomes effective, it is expected that cancellation of the admission to trading on the AIM of the
Common Shares will be at 7:00a.m. (London time) on September 7, 2011.
