HIT Technologies Announces Details of Private Placement
24 September 2020 - 8:34AM
HIT Technologies Inc. (the “Company”; TSX.V: HIT) announces that,
further to its previous news release on June 24, 2020 announcing an
acquisition transaction (the “Acquisition”) with Carbeeza Ltd.
(“Carbeeza”), the Company has now finalized the terms of its
private placement (the “Financing”). Subject to applicable
regulatory approval, the Financing will consist of the following:
- A non-brokered
private placement of the Company (the “HIT Offering”), pursuant to
which the Company will issue up to 1,250,000 units (the “HIT
Units”) at a price of $0.16 per unit for gross proceeds of up to
$200,000, with each such unit consisting of one pre-Consolidation
(as defined herein) common share of the Company and one common
share purchase warrant of the Company, with each such warrant
entitling the holder to acquire one additional pre-Consolidation
(as defined herein) common share of the Company at a price of $0.40
per share for a period of two years from issuance. As previously
announced, as one of the closing conditions to the Acquisition, the
Company will be completing a consolidation (the “Consolidation”) on
a 2.5:1 basis on or before closing of the Acquisition. As such,
following the completion of the Acquisition, the HIT Offering will
result 500,000 post-Consolidation units at a post-Consolidation
price of $0.40 each and 500,000 post-Consolidation warrants, with a
post-Consolidation exercise price of $1.00 per warrant;
- A non-brokered
private placement of Carbeeza, pursuant to which Carbeeza will
issue up to 6,250,000 units for gross proceeds of up to $2,500,000,
with each such unit consisting of one common share of Carbeeza and
1.1 common share purchase warrant of Carbeeza, with each whole
warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional common share
of Carbeeza at a price of $1.00 per share for a period of two years
from issuance. On closing of the Acquisition, the Carbeeza units
will be exchanged for the units of the Company on a
post-Acquisition basis, having the same terms as the HIT Units on a
post-Acquisition basis; and
- A brokered private
placement (the “Brokered Offering”), pursuant to which Carbeeza has
engaged Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the “Agent”) to sell up to
5,000,000 subscription receipts (the “Subscription Receipts”) of
Carbeeza at a price of $0.40 per Subscription Receipt for gross
proceeds of up to $2,000,000 with an over-allotment option for an
additional 750,000 Subscription Receipts for an additional gross
proceeds of up to $300,000.
The proceeds from the Subscription Receipts
pursuant to the Brokered Offering will be held in escrow pending
the closing of the Acquisition among other things (the “Escrow
Release Conditions”). On satisfaction of the Escrow Release
Conditions, each Subscription Receipt will automatically convert,
for no additional consideration, into a unit of the Company (an “SR
Unit”) comprised of one post-Acquisition common share of the
Company (a "Share") and one non-transferable post-Acquisition share
purchase warrant (a “Warrant”) of the Company, with each Warrant
entitling the holder to purchase one additional Share at a price of
$1.00 for a period of 24 months following such conversion.
The Agent has agreed to act as agent for the
Brokered Offering on a commercially reasonable efforts basis. The
Brokered Offering will be offered by way of private placement in
all of the provinces of Canada and such other jurisdictions as the
Company and the Agent may agree, pursuant to exemptions from the
prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws.
The Agent will receive a commission equal to
8.0% of the gross proceeds from the Subscription Receipts sold
under the Brokered Offering and a number of broker warrants (the
“Broker Warrants”) equal to 8.0% of the number of Subscription
Receipts sold under the Brokered Offering. Each Broker Warrant will
be exercisable to purchase one unit of the Company on a
post-Consolidation basis, which unit shall have the same terms as
an SR Unit. Furthermore, Carbeeza has agreed to pay to the Agent a
work fee in the amount of $30,000 plus taxes and reimbursement of
certain expenses.
The Company plans to use the funds from the HIT
Offering to fund the Acquisition, ongoing operations, and for
general working capital purposes. Furthermore, it is anticipated
that all of the proceeds from the Brokered Offering once released
from escrow will be used to fund the post-Acquisition business of
the Company. All securities of the Company issued in connection
with the above transactions will be subject to a four-month
statutory hold period and all securities of Carbeeza will be
subject to an indefinite hold until the closing of the Acquisition.
There may be certain finders' fees in connection with a portion of
the Financing subject to the policies of the Exchange.
