DragonWave Closes US$6.0 Million Public Offering

OTTAWA, CANADA — (Marketwired) — 08/08/16 — 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 closed its underwritten public offering of common shares and warrants. The gross proceeds to DragonWave from this offering were US$6.0 million not including any future proceeds from the exercise of the warrants.

DragonWave sold US$6.0 million in the aggregate of Class A Units (1,760,880 Units) and Class B Units (30,164 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. Each Class B Unit consists 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 have an exercise price of US$4.37 per share, are exercisable immediately and will expire on August 8, 2021. The Short-Term Warrants have an exercise price of US$4.00 per share, are exercisable immediately and will expire on February 8, 2017. The common shares and the warrants are immediately separable and were issued separately. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately with no expiration date, are deemed purchased for a price of US$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 public offering in the United States, DragonWave has issued an additional 63,000 Class A Units on a private placement basis to purchasers in Canada for additional gross proceeds of US$211,050.
