Shares were issued under the Canadian listed issuer financing exemption, meaning no Canadian resale restrictions apply.
The Toronto Stock Exchange has conditionally approved the offering.
What could go wrong? The new shares add dilution for existing holders, and Aduro paid C$539,994.53 in cash finder's fees.
TSX approval remains conditional, pending customary post-closing requirements.

The signal: Aduro is stacking back-to-back raises to bankroll the costly leap from technology development to commercialization of its water-based chemical recycling process for plastics and heavy oils.
