Each warrant can be exercised for one common share at an exercise price of $0.45 per warrant share for a period of 36 months following the closing of the offering, subject to adjustments in certain circumstances.
Canaccord Genuity (TSX:CF, LSE:CF) Corp acted as the lead agent and sole bookrunner of the offering, with PI Financial Corp. and Research Capital Corporation also acting as agents.
In connection with the offering, the agents received an aggregate cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the offering. The agents also received, as additional compensation, non-transferable compensation warrants exercisable to purchase up to 805,000 common shares each at the offering price, subject to adjustments in certain circumstances, for a period of 24 months following the closing of the offering.
The offering was conducted under a supplement dated May 5, 2022, to the company’s short-form base shelf prospectus dated February 28, 2022, filed with the securities commissions and other similar regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada, except Quebec.
The offering remains subject to final acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
