IMV Inc. (“IMV” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: IMV; TSX: IMV), a clinical-stage company developing a portfolio of immune-educating therapies based on its novel DPX^® platform to treat solid and hematologic cancers, today announced that it plans to maintain its existing at-the-market facility initially announced on October 16, 2020 under its recently renewed base shelf prospectus, which is effective for a period of 25 months from July 25, 2022. IMV has entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “EDA”) dated August 4, 2022 with Piper Sandler & Co. (“Piper Sandler”) pursuant to which the Company may from time to time sell through “at-the-market” offerings (the “ATM Offering”), with Piper Sandler acting as sales agent, on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Nasdaq”) such number of common shares that have an aggregate offering price of up to US$50 million under the ATM Prospectus Supplement (as defined below).

The ATM Offering will be made by way of a prospectus supplement (the “ATM Prospectus Supplement”) to the Company’s Canadian final base shelf prospectus dated July 22, 2022, and the Company’s United States final base shelf prospectus which is contained in the Company’s U.S. registration statement on Form F-10 dated July 25, 2022, as amended (File No. 333-266082) (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement was effective on filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 25, 2022. The ATM Prospectus Supplement has been filed with the Nova Scotia Securities Commission, as principal regulator in Canada, and in the United States with the SEC. The common shares that may be issued by the Company through the ATM Offering have been conditionally approved for listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the required notices related to the ATM Offering have been filed with the Nasdaq as well. In obtaining TSX listing approval, the Company has relied on the “Eligible Interlisted Issuer” exemption from TSX rules under section 602.1 of the TSX Company Manual.

Piper Sandler, at IMV’s discretion and instruction, will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the common shares at market prices from time to time. No offers or sales of common shares will be made in Canada or through the facilities of the TSX or any other trading market in Canada.

The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the ATM Offering for general corporate purposes, including but not limited to working capital expenditures, capital expenditures, research and development expenditures, and clinical trial expenditures.
