The Company intends to utilize the proceeds of the Private Placement to support its existing operations and for general working capital purposes.
The Company will issue Shares up to 2.0% of the number of Units issued in the Private Placement (“Admin Fee Shares”) to Amalfi Corporate Services Ltd. (“Amalfi”) as an administrative fee for Amalfi’s assistance with the Private Placement. The Company does not anticipate paying any finder’s fees related to the Private Placement.
Amalfi is a private company controlled by Geoff Balderson, CFO of the Company, and an issuance of Admin Fee Shares to Amalfi is considered to be a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the issuance of the Admin Fee Shares issued to Amalfi will not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.
Closing of the first tranche of the Private Placement is anticipated to occur on or about May 31, 2024. Pursuant to applicable securities laws, all securities issued under the Private Placement will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from issuance.
