Blockchain Foundry Announces $4 Million Equity Facility with Alumina Partners
October 06 2020 - 9:28AM
Blockchain Foundry Inc. (“BCF” or the “Company”) (CSE:BCFN), a
leading North American blockchain development firm, is pleased to
announce that it has entered into an agreement (the “Investment
Agreement”) for a drawdown equity financing facility of up to C$4
million over a 24-month period with Alumina Partners (Ontario) Ltd.
(“Alumina”), a subsidiary of Alumina Partners LLC, a New York-based
private equity firm.
The Investment Agreement provides BCF with fast
and flexible access to capital as required. Under the Investment
Agreement, the Company has the right to draw down on the facility,
at its sole discretion, through tranches of equity private
placements of up to C$250,000 each. Each tranche will consist of
units (each, a “Unit”), with each Unit comprised of one common
share of BCF (each, a “Share”) and one-half of one common share
purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a
“Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”). The Units will be
priced at a discount of 15% to 25% from the then most recent
closing price of the Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange at
the time of the applicable Company drawdown notice to Alumina. The
exercise price of the Warrants will be set at a 30% premium to the
market price of the Shares and will have a term of three years from
the date of issuance. Should the 10-day volume weighted average
price of the Shares be greater than or equal to 100% of the
exercise price of the Warrants, the Company may accelerate the
expiry date by providing at least 30 days’ notice to Alumina. There
are no standby charges or other upfront fees associated with the
Investment Agreement.
A first tranche drawdown of $100,000 was
completed concurrent with the execution of the Investment
Agreement. The Company issued 952,381 Units at a price of $0.105
per Unit for gross proceeds of $100,000. Each Warrant in this
tranche is exercisable into one additional common share at a price
of $0.182.
The proceeds from the first drawdown will be
used to add development and project management resources at the
Company and for general corporate purposes.
“This Investment Agreement provides BCF with
additional capital to accelerate our growth strategy and focus on
commercialization of our blockchain-related IP. We have an exciting
product roadmap and this capital will help us accelerate the
timeline to commercialization,” said Dan Wasyluk, CEO of BCF.
“We are excited to support Blockchain Foundry as
they advance the development of their product portfolio,” said Adi
Nahmani, Alumina’s Managing Member. “Offerings like the Syscoin
Ethereum bridge reduce the real cost of iterated transactions.
Reducing transaction cost is critical to increasing scalability and
encouraging the broader adoption of distributed ledger platforms.
The Blockchain Foundry team combines technical expertise with a
proven track record of collaborating with effective partners in the
space, and we look forward to seeing them continue to transform
academic whitepapers into practical, monetizable solutions.”
