Sernova Announces Warrants Exercise for Proceeds of $4.3 Million and Early Conversion of Debenture

LONDON, ONTARIO – January 25, 2021 – Sernova Corp. (TSX-V:SVA)(OTCQB:SEOVF)(FSE:PSH), a leading clinical-stage regenerative medicine therapeutics company is pleased to announce that in recent weeks it has received gross proceeds of $4.3 million pursuant to the exercise of more than 14 million warrants. Sernova intends to use the proceeds of the warrants exercised to support the Company’s clinical diabetes programs including its US Phase I/II diabetes clinical trial, diabetes stem cell-derived technologies and to also accelerate treatments for hypothyroid disease and hemophilia A.

The exercised warrants were originally issued in connection to public offerings of units completed by Sernova in July 2018 and September 2019. In October 2020, the 2018 warrants were subsequently extended by the Company to February 2021.

Sernova also announces the early conversion by the holder of its outstanding $1 million convertible debenture, due December 2022, into equity of the Company. The conversion will save the Company almost two years of interest costs.

“I am extremely pleased to see these warrants being exercised and the continued support from our shareholders," commented Dr. Philip Toleikis, President and CEO of Sernova Corp. "The early conversion of the debenture coupled with the warrants proceeds strengthens our balance sheet and cash position as we continue our ongoing efforts to create shareholder value."

Warrants holders interested in exercising their warrants may contact the Company (see the contact information provided below). The terms and conditions of the warrants are set out in the warrants certificate.
