    Unilife Announces Multifaceted Financing Strategy
    $45 million equity purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital with $5 million upfront tranche
    $25 million At-the-Market (ATM) facility with Cantor Fitzgerald
    Unilife has flexibility and control with sole discretion on use of both financing mechanisms
    YORK, Pa., July 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Unilife Corporation ("Unilife" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: UNIS and ASX: UNS), a developer, manufacturer and supplier of injectable drug delivery systems, today announced the implementation of a multifaceted financing strategy that provides the Company with flexibility and control to support its continued business growth.
    Unilife has signed an equity purchase agreement for up to $45 million with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC ("LPC"), a Chicago-based institutional investor, which provides the Company with $5 million in initial net proceeds and the option to generate, at its sole control and discretion, up to $40 million in additional net proceeds over 24 months. Unilife has also implemented a $25 million At-the-Market facility with Cantor Fitzgerald that can be used at the Company's discretion.
    Mr. David Hastings, Chief Financial Officer of Unilife, said: "The combination of the Lincoln Park Capital and Cantor Fitzgerald facilities provide us with financing flexibility and control, as we retain complete discretion as to whether and when we draw down under the facilities. This multifaceted strategy allows us to prudently support the financing of our business as we seek to increase customer cash receipts and advance additional customer relationships.

    Unilife announced today the execution of a purchase agreement for up to $45 million with LPC. Under the terms of the agreement dated July 29, 2015, LPC initially purchased $5 million dollars of Unilife common stock at $1.79 per share, as per the closing price on Monday, June 27, 2015.
