CALGARY, Jan. 19, 2012 /CNW/ - Resverlogix Corp. ("Resverlogix" or the "Company") (TSX:RVX) announces that it has entered into an equity distribution agreement (the "Agreement") with JonesTrading Canada Inc. as agent to sell up to 15 million common shares of Resverlogix ("ATM Shares"), solely at Resverlogix's discretion, from time to time at the market prices prevailing at the time of the sales, without discount, during the period that the Agreement remains effective. Pursuant to the Agreement, Resverlogix also appointed JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC and MLV & Co LLC as US agents to sell up to an additional 10 million common shares of Resverlogix, solely at Resverlogix's discretion, from time to time at a fixed price to subscribers in certain jurisdictions outside Canada during the period that the Agreement remains effective. The Agreement will remain effective until November 2013 unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms. The ATM Shares will be sold by way of transactions that are "at-the-market distributions", including sales on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") and other existing trading markets in Canada. The timing of any sale of ATM Shares and the number of ATM Shares sold are at Resverlogix's discretion.

The number of ATM Shares sold shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate market value of Resverlogix's common shares as at the last trading day of the month before the month in which the first trade of ATM Shares is made. The number of ATM Shares sold on any trading day shall not exceed 25% of the total trading volume of the common shares on that trading day.

"This arrangement provides us with a flexible and effective mechanism to raise capital in a manner that is complementary to our other potential sources of capital. The Agreement does not obligate us to issue shares now or in the future, nor does it prevent us from entering into other financing or business development arrangements," said Donald J. McCaffrey, President and CEO of Resverlogix.

Concurrent with entering into the equity distribution agreement, Resverlogix has cancelled the standby equity distribution agreement announced on March 29, 2010.

Resverlogix has obtained a final receipt for a short-form base shelf prospectus (the "Base Shelf Prospectus") with the securities commissions in each of the provinces of Canada. Subject to securities regulatory requirements, the Base Shelf Prospectus allows the Company to make offerings of common shares, preferred shares, debt securities, warrants and units comprising any combination of such securities up to an aggregate offering price of CAD$125 million during the period until November 2013 that the Base Shelf Prospectus remains effective. The distribution of ATM Shares pursuant to the Agreement is qualified by the Base Shelf Prospectus, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement, filed on SEDAR and available electronically at www.sedar.com or on request without charge from the Secretary of Resverlogix at Suite 202, 279 Midpark Way S.E., Calgary, Alberta, T2X 1M2 (telephone (403) 254-9252).

The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "US Securities Act"), or any state securities laws, and accordingly, may not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities requirements or pursuant to exemptions therefrom. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Company's securities in the United States.
