Friday January 23, 2015, Vancouver, BC – Supreme Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Supreme” or the “Company“) (SL:CSE) is pleased to announce that it has closed a private placement financing (the “Financing“) on an oversubscribed basis for gross proceeds of $257,634.96.

“This private placement represents another manifestation of the tremendous support we have enjoyed from the Kincardine community,” stated John Fowler, President of the Company. “We were approached by a number of local residents and contractors who wanted to participate in the Company’s success by investing in the private placement. That interest and enthusiasm resulted in the Company raising more funds than initially expected. This type of backing, and the general support of the Kincardine community, is one of our greatest assets. It has allowed us to move quickly through the pre-license phase of our business and leaves us excited for what lies ahead.”
The Company paid aggregate finders’ fees of $5,942.92 and issued 8,794 Warrants to certain arm’s-length parties in the connection with the Financing. The Common Shares and Warrants issued pursuant to the Financing are subject to a hold period that expires May 23, 2015. Following closing, Supreme has 78,252,201 Common Shares issued and outstanding. Proceeds will be used for general working capital purposes.
