("Pascal" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:PAS), a biotechnology company that specializes in cancer drug discovery and development, is pleased to announce that further to its press release dated February 23, 2018, the Company’s non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement"), is currently over-subscribed.

Under the exercise acceleration clause, which the Company may exercise once the Units are free of resale restrictions and if the Company’s shares are trading at or above a volume weighted average price of $0.80 for 10 consecutive trading days, the Warrants will expire upon 30 days from the date the Company provides notice in writing to the Warrant holders via a news release.
The securities to be issued under the Private Placement will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of closing. The Private Placement remains subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. A finder’s fee consisting of (i) a cash commission of up to 8% of the proceeds from the sale of Units, and (ii) finders’ warrants of up to 8% of the Units sold, may be paid in connection with the Private Placement.
