 MONTREAL, July 8 /CNW/ - ConjuChem Biotechnologies Inc (TSX:CJB) today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Colabor Income Fund (TSX:CLB.UN), a Québec-based income trust, that will provide gross proceeds of approximately $5 million in non-dilutive capital to ConjuChem concurrent with a reorganization of the Company. "This non-dilutive transaction, accomplished in a challenging economic environment, strengthens our balance sheet and provides us with greater flexibility as we pursue a partnership for our lead diabetes drug, PC-DAC(TM):Exendin-4," said Mark Perrin, President and CEO. "We recently reported results from the Phase II program for PC-DAC(TM):Exendin-4 at the American Diabetes Association's 69th Annual Scientific Sessions demonstrating that our long-lasting GLP-1 agonist achieved statistically significant reductions in HbA1c and weight and was extremely well tolerated." The non-dilutive transaction involves a corporate reorganization to be completed under a court supervised Plan of Arrangement. ConjuChem will transfer its assets and liabilities, including the proceeds from this transaction, to a newly incorporated subsidiary company, 4523482 Canada Inc. ("New ConjuChem OpCo"). On completion of the transaction, ConjuChem securityholders will have exchanged their ConjuChem securities on a one-for-one basis for securities of a parent company of New ConjuChem OpCo which shall subsequently amalgamate with New ConjuChem OpCo ("New ConjuChem"). New ConjuChem will carry on ConjuChem's business operations as a public entity and will retain all rights to related intellectual property as before the transaction. As part of the Plan of Arrangement, Colabor unitholders, on completion of the transaction, will own 100% of the shares of the original ConjuChem entity. Completion of the transaction is subject to receipt of court and other regulatory approvals and consents. It must also be approved (i) by at least 66 2/3 percent of votes cast by ConjuChem shareholders, (ii) at least 66 2/3 percent of votes cast by ConjuChem optionholders, warrantholders and debentureholders, and (iii) by at least 66 2/3 percent of votes cast by Colabor unitholders. Based on a number of factors, including a fairness opinion rendered by ConjuChem's financial advisor for the transaction, ConjuChem's Board of Directors unanimously recommends that ConjuChem securityholders approve the transaction. Additional details regarding the transaction will be provided to ConjuChem securityholders in an information circular to be mailed in mid-July. The information circular will also be available at [ www.conjuchem.com ] and[ www.sedar.com ]. A special meeting of securityholders will be held in August 2009 at the offices of McCarthy Tétrault LLP, Suite 2500, 1000, De La Gauchetière Street West, Montréal, Québec. The transaction is expected to close in August 2009 subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. About ConjuChem Biotechnologies Inc.
