GreenSpace Brands Inc. ("
GreenSpace" or the
"
Company") (TSXV: JTR), a leader within the
organic and plant-based food industry, announces that it has
engaged a syndicate of underwriters, including PI Financial Corp.,
as lead underwriter and sole-bookrunner, and Canaccord Genuity
Corp. (collectively, the "
Underwriters"). The
Offering will be conducted on a "bought deal" private placement
basis and will consist of 41,700,000 units of the Company
("
Units") issued at a price of $0.06 per Unit for
gross proceeds to the Company of $2,502,000
("
Offering"). Each Unit will consist of one common
share in the capital of the Company ("Common Share") and one-half
of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a
"Warrant").
Each Warrant will entitle the holder of the Warrant to purchase
one Common Share for $0.09 per share for up to 24 months from the
Closing Date (as defined below).
The Company will grant the Underwriters an option to increase
the size of the Offering by up to 15% at any time prior to the
closing of the Offering, which is expected to be on or about
September 28, 2021 or such other date or dates as the Company and
the Underwriters may agree (the "Closing
Date").
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for working
capital, investments in innovation, geographic and channel
expansion, and general corporate purposes.
In connection with the Offering, the Underwriters shall be paid
(i) a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the
Offering; and (ii) non-transferable broker warrants exercisable at
any time until the day that is 18 months from the Closing Date to
purchase that number of Common Shares that is equal to 7% of the
aggregate number of Units sold under the Offering, at an exercise
price of $0.06 per Common Share, subject to reduction to 3%, in
each case, for certain agreed subscribers.
The Offering is subject to receipt of all necessary corporate
and regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture
Exchange ("TSXV"). The Units and the securities
issuable thereunder will be subject to a statutory hold period of
four months plus a day from the Closing Date in accordance with
applicable securities legislation.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
PenderFund Capital Management Ltd., an insider and control
person of the Company ("PenderFund"), intends to participate in the
Offering. PenderFund and its affiliates beneficially own or
control, directly or indirectly, 152,270,428 Common Shares,
representing 33.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (on
a non-diluted basis).
Management of GreenSpace Brands Inc. ("GreenSpace Management"),
expects to subscribe for up to 5% of the Units under the Offering.
GreenSpace Management beneficially own or control, directly or
indirectly, 2,000,000 Common Shares representing 0.4% of the issued
and outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis).
The portion of the Offering that PenderFund and GreenSpace
Management subscribe to will each be considered a "related party
transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of
Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") as
PenderFund is an insider and control person of the Company and
GreenSpace Management are insiders of the Company. Unless there is
an exemption, the Company would be required to obtain a formal
valuation and "minority shareholder approval", being approval of
disinterested shareholders of the Company. The Company is relying
on the exemption from a formal valuation available in section
5.5(a) of MI 61-101 and the exemption from minority approval
available in section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101. The Company meets the
requirements set out in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101
because the fair market value of the securities being distributed
under the Offering, and to each of PenderFund and GreenSpace
Management, is less than 25% of the market capitalization of the
Company.
