DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

TORONTO, Nov. 23, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Titan Medical Inc. ("Titan" or the "Company") (TSX:TMD) (OTCQB:TITXF) advises that it has filed and has obtained a receipt for an amended and restated preliminary short form prospectus (the “Second Amended Prospectus”) which amends and restates its previously filed amended and restated short form prospectus dated November 16, 2017 which, in turn, amended and restated its preliminary short form prospectus dated November 14, 2017 in connection with the marketed offering (the "Offering") of units of the Company (the "Units").  The Second Amended Prospectus provides for the previously announced increase of the minimum gross proceeds of the Offering to CDN$18,000,000 (from CDN $13,000,000) and the maximum gross proceeds of the Offering to CDN$23,000,000 (from CDN $15,000,000). Pursuant to the Offering, Titan will issue Units at a price of CDN $0.50 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant is exercisable for one Common Share at a price of CDN $0.60, for a period of 5 years following the closing of the Offering.

The Offering will be undertaken on a best efforts basis pursuant to the terms and conditions of an agency agreement to be entered into between the Company and Bloom Burton Securities Inc. (the "Agent"). In connection with the Offering, the Agent will be paid a cash commission equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and it will be issued that number of non-transferable broker warrants exercisable for Common Shares equal to 7.0% of the number of Units sold in the Offering (in each case excluding any Units sold to certain excluded subscribers).

The Second Amended Prospectus has been filed in each of the provinces of Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta pursuant to National Instrument 44-101 - Short Form Prospectus Distributions. In addition, the Units may also be offered for sale in the United States, by or through United States registered broker-dealers appointed by the Agent as sub-agents, and in certain offshore jurisdictions, in each case under available exemptions from the prospectus and registration requirements of applicable securities laws.

The net proceeds of the Offering (the “Net Proceeds”) will be used to fund continued development work in connection with the Company’s SPORT Surgical System, as well as for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Please see "Use of Proceeds" in the Second Amended Prospectus, which is available under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com, for further details of the use of Net Proceeds.

The Common Shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") under the symbol "TMD". An application has been made to list the Common Shares issuable under the Offering for trading on the TSX. Listing will be subject to the Company fulfilling all of the requirements of the TSX.
