EarthRenew Announces Up to C$10m Equity Facility With Alumina
08 October 2020 - 3:30PM
EarthRenew Inc. (CSE:ERTH) (“EarthRenew” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce that it has entered into a financing facility
(the “Facility”) for up to C$10 million with Alumina Partners
(Ontario) Ltd. ("Alumina"), an affiliate of New York-based private
equity firm Alumina Partners LLC.
The investment agreement provides the Company
with an at-will financing facility over a period of 24 months
during which the Company can draw down, at its sole discretion,
equity private placement tranches of up to C$500,000. Each tranche
will be composed of units with each unit consisting of one common
share of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one Common Share
purchase warrant, at discounts between 15 and 25 percent of the
closing price of the Common Shares on the day prior to EarthRenew's
drawdown notice to Alumina. The exercise price of the warrants will
be at a 25 per cent premium over market at the time of the issuance
and the warrants will have a term of 60 months. Each draw down from
the Facility may be subject to approval of the Canadian Securities
Exchange. All securities issued pursuant to a financing under the
Facility will be subject to a statutory hold period that expires
four months and one day from issuance.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of
financings under the Facility, if any, for capital equipment
purchases, engineering and construction costs for the redevelopment
of EarthRenew’s Strathmore facility, feasibility studies on future
projects, field and research trials, market development activities,
working capital for the ramp-up of our operations at the Strathmore
facility and general corporate purposes. No finder’s fees will be
paid in connection with a financing under the Facility.
“Global interest in sustainable agriculture is
at an all-time high, yet the common thinking remains stuck in the
previous century, presuming that organic farming necessarily
involves a much higher cost,” explained Adi Nahmani, Managing
Member of Alumina. “We are pleased to invest in EarthRenew as they
accelerate their work to provide an alternative to that paradigm,
supporting sustainable agriculture in a profitable,
market-competitive manner.”
“The Facility provides us with comfort that we
have an option to secure the capital necessary to accelerate the
Strathmore facility recommissioning and pursue U.S. expansion
opportunities over the next 12 months,” Keith Driver, CEO of
EarthRenew, commented.
