Recent positive operational and clinical updates often saw negative price reactions, suggesting a pattern of selling into good news.

Recent Company History

Over the past month, Hemostemix has reported multiple positive operational and clinical milestones, including conference presentations, cardiology practice acquisitions, and private placement financing. Despite clinical highlights such as strong limb preservation data and expanding commercialization efforts, several of these announcements on Nov 13, Nov 26, Dec 2, and Dec 3 were followed by negative 24-hour price reactions. Against this backdrop, the current stock option grant appears as routine corporate housekeeping rather than a major strategic inflection point.

Analysis

This announcement detailed a routine stock option grant of 963,000 options at an exercise price of $0.09, with expiry on Dec 11, 2030 and total outstanding options rising to 19,124,694. Portions vest immediately, with others vesting over one year, and the grant relied on exemptions under MI 61-101. In context of prior clinical and strategic updates, this event mainly reflects governance and compensation mechanics rather than a shift in business fundamentals.

Key Terms

stock option plan, multilateral instrument 61-101, minority approval, material change report

4 terms

stock option plan financial

"in accordance with its stock option plan, it has granted on December 11, 2025"

A stock option plan is a company program that gives employees the right to buy company shares at a preset price after a certain time, like a coupon allowing purchase later at a fixed rate. It matters to investors because these options can increase the number of shares outstanding — reducing each existing share’s ownership slice and potentially changing per-share results — while also aligning employee incentives with boosting the company’s value.

multilateral instrument 61-101 regulatory

"Hemostemix relied on section 5.5(b) of Multilateral Instrument 61-101- Protection of Minority"

Multilateral Instrument 61-101 is a securities regulation that sets rules for certain corporate deals—like mergers, asset sales, or related-party transactions—to protect minority shareholders by requiring extra disclosure, independent valuation and, in many cases, formal shareholder approval. Think of it as an impartial referee and checklist that forces companies to show the full playbook and get a vote or an independent price opinion, so investors can judge whether a proposed deal is fair and avoid being overridden by insiders.

minority approval regulatory

"as the exemption from the minority approval requirements of MI 61-101"

Minority approval is consent given by shareholders who together own less than half of a company’s voting shares, or by a protected subgroup of shareholders, on a corporate action. It matters because some deals or changes require not just majority support but specific backing from minority holders to proceed or to avoid legal challenges, so their approval can protect small investors’ interests much like a safety valve that prevents a single majority from making unchecked changes.

material change report regulatory

"The material change report to be filed in relation to the Options grant will not be"

A material change report is a public notice that a company must file and share whenever new information or an event is significant enough to likely influence an investor’s decision. Think of it like an urgent update board that tells shareholders about big shifts—such as major deals, leadership changes, sudden losses, or legal issues—so investors can reassess risk and value with the same facts everyone else has.

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - December 11, 2025) - Hemostemix Inc. (TSXV: HEM) (OTCQB: HMTXF) (FSE: 2VF0) ("Hemostemix" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that in accordance with its stock option plan, it has granted on December 11, 2025, subject to regulatory approval, a total of 963,000 stock options to purchase common shares of Hemostemix (the "Options") to directors, officers, employees and consultants of Hemostemix.

Of the Options granted, 663,000 vest immediately and 330,000 vest as to 50% on December 11, 2025 and 50% on December 11, 2026. All options were granted with an exercise price of $0.09 per common share and have an expiry date of December 11, 2030. After this Option issuance, Hemostemix has 19,124,694 Options issued and outstanding. Of the Options granted, 663,000 Options were issued to directors and officers of Hemostemix. Hemostemix relied on section 5.5(b) of Multilateral Instrument 61-101- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") as the exemption from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 and TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 in respect of the Options grant to the directors and officers of Hemostemix as no securities of Hemostemix are listed on a specified market as defined in MI 61-101. Hemostemix relied on section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 as the exemption from the minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 and TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 in respect of the Options grant to the directors and officers of Hemostemix as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the Options granted to the directors and officers of the Company exceeded 25% of Hemostemix's market capitalization. The Compensation Committee and Board of Directors of the Company have approved the Options grant and no materially contrary view or abstention was expressed or made by any director in relation to the Options grant. The material change report to be filed in relation to the Options grant will not be not filed at least 21 days prior to the completion of the Options grant as contemplated by MI 61-101. The Company believes that this shorter period is reasonable and necessary in the circumstances as the completion of the Options grant occurred shortly before the issuance of this news release and the filing of such material change report.
