Acquisition Expected to be Completed by Mid-Year 2019

VANCOUVER and HOUSTON, May 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - ESSA Pharma Inc. ("ESSA" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: EPIX; TSX-V: EPI) announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Realm Therapeutics plc ("Realm") (NASDAQ: RLM) setting forth the terms of an acquisition ("Acquisition") whereby ESSA will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Realm in an all-stock transaction. The Acquisition, subject inter alia to Realm Shareholder approval, is intended to be implemented by means of a United Kingdom ("UK") Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the UK Companies Act 2006 and is expected to be completed by mid-year 2019. Upon the closing of the Acquisition, the Company will continue to operate as ESSA Pharma Inc., trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market and TSX-V Market and operate in the United States as ESSA Pharmaceuticals Corp., a Houston, TX-registered wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company will focus on advancing ESSA's pipeline of novel potential treatments for prostate and other cancers.

The terms of the Acquisition value Realm's issued and outstanding shares at approximately USD $21.5 million, which represents a 5% premium over Realm's estimated net cash amount of USD $20.5 million at the closing of the Acquisition.
