DragonWave Announces Pricing of $6.0 Million Public Offering

OTTAWA, CANADA — (Marketwired) — 08/03/16 — DragonWave Inc. (TSX: DWI)(NASDAQ: DRWI), a leading global supplier of packet microwave radio systems for mobile and access networks, announced today that it has priced its underwritten public offering of common shares and warrants. The gross proceeds to DragonWave from this offering are expected to be US$6.0 million not including any future proceeds from the exercise of the warrants.

DragonWave announced that it has agreed to sell US$6.0 million in the aggregate of Class A Units and Class B Units, in any combination. DragonWave may sell up to 1,791,044 Class A Units, with each Class A Unit consisting of one common share, one five-year warrant (the “Long-Term Warrant”) to purchase one common share and two six-month warrants (the “Short-Term Warrant”) each to purchase one common share at a public offering price of US$3.35 per Class A Unit. As a component of the offering and in lieu of Class A Units that include common shares, DragonWave may also sell, to investors whose purchase of Class A Units would result in their exceeding the 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation described in the preliminary prospectus filed with the SEC, up to 1,791,044 Class B Units, with each Class B Unit consisting of a pre-funded warrant (the “Pre-Funded Warrant”) to purchase one common share, one Long-Term Warrant and two Short-Term Warrants at a public offering price of US$3.34 per Class B Unit.

The Long-Term Warrants will have an exercise price of US$4.37 per share, be exercisable from the date of original issuance and will expire on the date five years following the date of original issuance. The Short-Term Warrants will have an exercise price of US$4.00 per share, be exercisable beginning on the date of original issuance and will expire on the date six-months following the date of original issuance. The common shares and the warrants will be immediately separable and will be issued separately. The Pre-Funded Warrants will be exercisable from the date of original issuance with no expiration date, are deemed purchased for a price of $3.34 per underlying common share by virtue of purchasing a Class B Unit and have an exercise price of US$0.01 per share.

Concurrent with the underwritten offering in the United States, DragonWave expects to sell an additional 63,000 Class A Units on a private placement basis to purchasers in Canada for additional gross proceeds of US$211,050.

DragonWave currently intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, excluding any future proceeds from the exercise of the warrants, general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, general and administrative expenses, capital expenditures and implementation of our strategic priorities.
