SAN MATEO, Calif., Feb. 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) (OTCQB: PLPRF) (the “Company” or “Plus Products”) is pleased to announce that due to strong demand from investors, it has increased the maximum size of the previously announced private placement led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. involving a syndicate of agents (collectively, the "Agents"). Pursuant to the revised terms of the offering, the Company has engaged the Agents to sell, on a “best efforts”, placement basis, up to C$25 million of convertible note units (the “Units”) of the Company at a price of C$1,000 per Unit (the Offering”).
Each Unit is to be comprised of one C$1,000 principal amount unsecured convertible note (each, a “Convertible Note”) accruing interest at 8% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears until maturity, and 77 common share purchase warrants of the Company (each, a “Warrant”). The Convertible Notes will have a maturity date of 24 months from the Closing Date (as defined below).
Each Convertible Note shall be convertible into common shares in the capital of the Company (each, a “Conversion Share”) at a price of $6.50 (the “Conversion Price”) per Conversion Share commencing on the date which is seven months after the Closing Date.
Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Warrant Share”) for an exercise price of $8.00 per Warrant Share for a period of five years following the Closing Date. If exercised during the first 12 months after the Closing Date, the underlying shares shall be subject to a 365-day contractual hold from the Closing Date.
The Company shall apply for the listing of the Convertible Notes and Warrants, subject to meeting distribution and regulatory requirements.
The Convertible Notes will be unsecured obligations of the Company and shall rank pari passu in right of payment of principal and interest with all other Convertible Notes issued in the Offering and all other unsecured indebtedness of the Company.
Closing of the Amended Offering is expected to occur on or about February 21, 2019 (the “Closing Date”).
The Convertible Debenture Units will be offered on a private placement basis in all Provinces and Territories of Canada, and in the United States on a private placement basis in reliance on Rule 506(b) of Regulation D or pursuant to other exemption(s) from the requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) and in compliance with applicable United States federal securities laws and any “blue sky” laws or regulations of any state of the United States, and in such jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States as determined by the Company and Canaccord Genuity Corp. on a private placement or equivalent basis.
The proceeds from the Offering will be used by the Company for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The Offering is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals, including any approval of the Exchange.
The Convertible Note Units issued pursuant to the Offering and any common shares in the capital of the company issued on conversion of the Convertible Notes or exercise of the Warrants will be subject to a statutory hold period in Canada of four months and one day following the Closing Date in accordance with applicable securities laws.
