Securities Purchase Agreement and Debenture
On September 17, 2025, Medicus Pharma Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada (the "Company"), entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with YA II PN, Ltd. ("Yorkville"), in connection with the issuance and sale by the Company of a debenture (the "Debenture") in the principal amount of $8,000,000 (the "Subscription Amount"). Yorkville purchased and the Company issued the Debenture upon the signing of the Purchase Agreement. Net proceeds to the Company from the issuance of the Debenture were approximately $5.7 million after giving effect to (a) the complete satisfaction and discharge of the approximately $1.7 million remaining outstanding balance of the $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of debentures that Yorkville purchased from the Company pursuant to that certain purchase agreement dated as of May 2, 2025 (the “Existing Debt Balance”) and (b) the original issue discount on the Subscription Amount and certain other fees and expenses. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement, each of the Company's subsidiaries entered into a global guaranty agreement (the "Guaranty") in favor of Yorkville with respect to the Company's obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Debenture. Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, herein have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.
Interest will accrue on the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture at an annual rate of 8.00%, subject to a potential increase to 18.00% per annum upon the occurrence of certain events of default. The Debenture will mature on September 17, 2026 (the "Maturity Date"). The Company will repay the Subscription Amount of the Debenture in monthly installments of $650,000 plus accrued and unpaid interest, in cash, as of such payment date starting on the 45-day anniversary of the issuance date of the Debenture. Any principal and interest outstanding as of the Maturity Date will be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
The Debenture provides the Company with an optional redemption right pursuant to which the Company, at any time, may redeem in cash, in whole or in part, all amounts outstanding under the Debenture prior to the Maturity Date. The redemption amount shall be equal to the outstanding principal balance being redeemed by the Company, plus all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of such redeemed principal amount as of such redemption date.
The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, Guaranty and Debenture do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 4.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Forward Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "plan," "believe," "goal," "target," "aim," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "outlook," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "continue," "could," "may," "might," "possible," "potential," "predict," "should," "would" and other similar words and expressions, although the absence of these words or expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations and beliefs of the Company's management and are inherently subject to a number of factors, risks, uncertainties and assumptions and their potential effects. There can be no assurance that future developments will be those that have been anticipated. Actual results may vary materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements based on a number of factors, risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including the risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Potential investors, shareholders and other readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they were made. The Company does not assume any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement after it was made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law or regulation. Investors are referred to the full discussion of risks and uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements and the discussion of risk factors contained in the Company's filings with the SEC, which are available at www.sec.gov.
