TORONTO and DALLAS, April 21, 2026 /CNW/ - Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, Inc. (TSXV: PINK) (OTC: PYNKF) ("Perimeter" or the "Company"), a commercial-stage medical technology company, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Paradigm Capital Inc., as lead agent and sole bookrunner on behalf of a syndicate of agents (collectively, the "Agents"), in connection with a "best efforts" offering under the listed issuer financing exemption (the "LIFE Offering") of up to 21,489,000 units of the Company (the "Units"), at an offering price of $0.35 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to approximately $7.52 million, subject to a minimum offering amount of approximately $5.55 million (the "Minimum LIFE Amount"). The Company also intends to complete a concurrent non-brokered private placement of convertible debentures (the "Convertible Debentures"), for aggregate gross proceeds of up to approximately USD$5 million (the "Concurrent Offering" and, together with the LIFE Offering, the "Offerings").

Each Unit will be comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (each a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share for a period of 60 months from the closing of the LIFE Offering, at an exercise price of $0.50. 

In connection with the Concurrent Offering, the Company has entered into binding subscription agreements with Adrian Mendes, its Chief Executive Officer, and SC Master Holdings LLC ("Social Capital"), representing expected subscription proceeds totaling approximately $5.5 million.

Under the Concurrent Offering, each Convertible Debenture will consist of $1,000 principal amount of 3.59% convertible debentures of the Company, maturing three years following the initial closing date of the Concurrent Offering (the "Maturity Date"). The outstanding principal under the Convertible Debentures will be (i) convertible at the option of the holder, at any time prior to the close of business on the last business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, into units of the Company (the "Debenture Units") at the conversion price of $0.415 per Debenture Unit (the "Conversion Price") or (ii) automatically converted into Debenture Units at the Conversion Price upon the occurrence of, and immediately following, any transaction that results in the Company continuing from the jurisdiction of British Columbia, Canada to the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia (a "Redomiciling Transaction") provided, however, that the conversion will be directly into Debenture Units of the Company after it has become a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any state, or the District of Columbia in connection with the Redomiciling Transaction.

Each Debenture Unit will be comprised of one Common Share and one Common Share purchase warrant (each, a "Debenture Warrant"). Each Debenture Warrant shall entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share for a period of 60 months from the initial closing of the Concurrent Offering, at an exercise price of $0.59. 

The accrued and unpaid interest under the Convertible Debentures will be satisfied on the Maturity Date or upon the occurrence of a Redomiciling Transaction in either cash or, at the option of the Company and subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, by the issue of the equivalent value in units of the Company ("Interest Units") at a price per Interest Unit equal to the volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange for the five trading days preceding the applicable conversion date (the "Interest Conversion Price"). Each Interest Unit will consist of one Common Share and one Common Share purchase warrant (each, an "Interest Warrant"). Each Interest Warrant shall entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share for a period of 60 months from the initial closing date of the Concurrent Offering, at an exercise price equal to a 43% premium to the Interest Conversion Price.

The Company is evaluating whether or not to complete a Redomiciling Transaction, which would remain subject to the approval of its shareholders and board of directors. The Company expects that, in the case of conversion of the Convertible Debentures in connection with a Redomiciling Transaction, the securities issuable thereunder may qualify as qualified small business stock within the meaning of Section 1202 or Section 1045 of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States. Potential investors should consult with their independent tax advisors prior to making any investment decision. In the event that the Company elects to proceed with a Redomiciling Transaction, further information will be provided at such time.

The Company will pay to the Agents a cash fee equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised under the LIFE Offering (the "Cash Commission"), and issue the Agents broker warrants equal to 7% of the aggregate number of Units issued under the LIFE Offering (the "Broker Warrants"), provided however that the Cash Commission and Broker Warrants payable in connection with sales to certain president's list purchasers will be reduced to 3.5% and 3.5%, respectively. Each Broker Warrant shall entitle the Agents to buy one Common Share at a price of $0.35 per Common Share. The Broker Warrants shall be exercisable until that date which is 24 months following the Closing Date (as defined below).

The LIFE Offering is conditional upon the closing of the Minimum LIFE Amount. All securities issued pursuant to the LIFE Offering will not be subject to a hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws. All securities issued pursuant to the Concurrent Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. The first tranche of the LIFE Offering is expected to close on or about May 5, 2026 (the "Closing Date") and the first tranche of the Concurrent Offering is expected to close on or about April 24, 2026, both of which are subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Offerings for working capital and general corporate purposes and as described in the offering document for the LIFE Offering.

The Units will be offered in all provinces and territories of Canada, except Québec, in accordance with Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions, under the listed issuer financing exemption, as amended and supplemented by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption. The Units may also be offered in the United States on a private placement basis pursuant to applicable exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") and applicable state securities laws, and in other offshore jurisdictions provided that no prospectus filing or comparable obligation arises.

The Convertible Debentures will be offered in all provinces and territories of Canada, except Québec, on a private placement basis. The Convertible Debentures may also be offered in the United States on a private placement basis pursuant to applicable exemptions from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, and in other offshore jurisdictions provided that no prospectus filing or comparable obligation arises.

There is an offering document related to the LIFE Offering that can be accessed under the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.com and at https://perimetermed.com/. Prospective investors should read this offering document before making an investment decision.

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 in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the 1933 Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act, and applicable state securities laws.

Adrian Mendes, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, has entered into a binding subscription agreement to purchase a total of USD$2,000,000 (approximately CDN$2,760,000) principal amount Convertible Debentures under the Concurrent Offering and Social Capital, a control person of the Company, has entered into a binding subscription agreement to purchase a total of USD$2,000,000 (approximately CDN$2,760,000) principal amount Convertible Debentures under the Concurrent Offering. The placement to such persons will constitute 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 Offerings as the details of the Offerings and the participants thereof have not yet been finalized.
