PROSPECTUS

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION

DATED [●], 2023

 

 

 

28,591,268 Common Shares

 

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale, from time to time, by the Selling Securityholders named herein (the “Selling Securityholders”) of an aggregate of up to 28,591,268 common shares without par value (“Common Shares”) of Bruush Oral Care Inc. (the “Company”), consisting of (i) in respect of Generating Alpha Ltd., (a) 79,724 Common Shares, (b) 7,181,146 Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Prefunded Warrant (as defined herein), and (c) 8,350,000 Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant (as defined herein), (ii) in respect of Yaletown Bros. Ventures Ltd., 9,980,398 Common Shares, and (iii) in respect of Alchemy Advisors LLC, 3,000,000 Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Alchemy Warrants (as defined herein).

 

The Selling Securityholders may sell Common Shares at market prices prevailing at the times of sale, prices related to the prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. The Selling Securityholders may offer Common Shares to or through underwriters, dealers or other agents, directly to investors or through any other manner permitted by law, on a continued or delayed basis. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the securities offered by this prospectus, and the Selling Securityholders will bear all incremental selling expenses, including commissions and discounts, brokerage fees and other similar selling expenses they incur in sale of the securities. See “Plan of Distribution”.

 

We are not selling any securities in this offering, and we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any securities by the Selling Securityholders. The registration of the securities covered by this prospectus does not necessarily mean that any of these securities will be offered or sold by the Selling Securityholders. The timing and amount of any sale is within the Selling Securityholders’ sole discretion, subject to certain restrictions. To the extent that any of the Selling Securityholders sell any securities, such holder may be required to provide you with this prospectus identifying and containing specific information about the Selling Securityholders and the terms of the securities being offered. We may receive proceeds up to (i) $1,553 in the event of the exercise in full of the Prefunded Warrant for cash, and (ii) $3,000 in the event of the exercise in full of the Alchemy Warrants.

 

The Selling Securityholders and intermediaries through whom the securities are sold may be deemed “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with respect to the securities offered hereby, and any profits realized or commissions received may be deemed underwriting compensation.

 

Our Common Shares and warrants are quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the trading symbols “BRSH” and “BRSHW”, respectively. On October 23, 2023, the closing price of our Common Shares on Nasdaq was $0.37 per share, and the closing price of our warrants on Nasdaq was $0.02 per warrant.

 

On September 21, 2023, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) held on a hearing to consider our appeal of Nasdaq’s determination that we were not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing and its determination to delist our securities. At the hearing, we presented our plan for regaining and sustaining compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. On October 2, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq notifying the Company that the Panel has granted an exception to the Company for continued listing on the Nasdaq, subject to the Company demonstrating compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity rule on or before December 31, 2023. The Panel reserves the right to reconsider the terms of this exception based on any event, condition or circumstance that exists or develops that would, in the opinion of the Panel, make continued listing of the Company’s securities on Nasdaq inadvisable or unwarranted.

 

Unless otherwise noted, the share and per share information in this prospectus reflects a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of our outstanding Common Shares effective as of August 1, 2023.

 

We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time by filing amendments or supplements as required. You should read this entire prospectus and any amendments or supplements carefully before you make your investment decision.

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before buying any securities, you should carefully read the discussion of material risks of investing in the Common Shares and our Company. See “Risk Factors” incorporated by reference into this prospectus for a discussion of information that should be considered in connection with an investment in our securities.

 

We are a “foreign private issuer” and an “emerging growth company” each as defined under the federal securities laws, and, as such, we are subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. See the section entitled “Prospectus Summary—Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Foreign Private Issuer” for additional information.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

The date of this prospectus is [●], 2023

About This Prospectus

 

Neither we nor the Selling Securityholders have authorized anyone to provide information different from or additional to that contained in this prospectus, any amendment or supplement to this prospectus or in any free writing prospectus prepared by us or on our behalf. The Selling Securityholders named in this prospectus may, from time to time, sell the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings. Neither we nor the Selling Securityholders take any responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any information other than the information in this prospectus, any amendment or supplement to this prospectus, and any free writing prospectus prepared by us or on our behalf. Neither the delivery of this prospectus nor the sale of our securities in this offering means that information contained in this prospectus is correct after the date of this prospectus. This prospectus is not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these shares in any circumstances under which such offer or solicitation is unlawful.

 

Our financial statements included or incorporated by reference into this prospectus have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or the IASB. None of the financial statements included herein were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or US GAAP. IFRS differs from US GAAP in certain material respects and thus may not be comparable to financial information presented by U.S. companies.

 

The Selling Securityholders are offering to sell the Common Shares, and seeking offers to buy Common Shares, only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted. The information in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date of this prospectus, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or any sale of the securities.

 

For investors outside of the United States: Neither we nor the Selling Securityholders have done anything that would permit this offering or possession or distribution of this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required, other than in the United States. Persons outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus must inform themselves about and observe any restrictions relating to this offering and the distribution of this prospectus outside of the United States.

 

Throughout this prospectus, unless otherwise designated or the context requires otherwise, the terms “we”, “us”, the “Company”, and “our” refer to Bruush Oral Care Inc. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to our financial statements mean the financial statements of our Company included herein.

 

Enforcement of Civil Liabilities

 

We are a company incorporated under the law of British Columbia, Canada. Some of our directors and officers, and some of the experts named in this prospectus, are residents of Canada or otherwise reside outside of the United States, and all or a substantial portion of their assets, and all or a substantial portion of our assets, are located outside of the United States. We have appointed an agent for service of process in the United States, but it may be difficult for shareholders who reside in the United States to effect service within the United States upon those directors, officers and experts who are not residents of the United States. It may also be difficult for shareholders who reside in the United States to realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon our civil liability and the civil liability of our directors, officers and experts under the United States federal securities laws. There can be no assurance that U.S. investors will be able to enforce against us, directors, officers or certain experts named herein who are residents of Canada or other countries outside the United States, any judgments in civil and commercial matters, including judgments under the federal securities laws.

 

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

We discuss in this prospectus our business strategy, market opportunity, capital requirements, product introductions and development plans and the adequacy of our funding. These statements, and other statements contained in this prospectus, which are not historical facts, are also forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” or similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters.

 

 

Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, our expectations concerning the outlook for our business, productivity, plans and goals for future operational improvements and capital investments, operational performance, future market conditions or economic performance and developments in the capital and credit markets and expected future financial performance, as well as any information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of the Company.

 

We caution investors against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements presented in this prospectus, or that we may make orally or in writing from time to time, which are based on the beliefs of, assumptions made by, and information currently available to, us. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions, and the actual outcome will be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control or ability to predict. Although we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, they are not a guarantee of future performance, and some will inevitably prove to be incorrect. As a result, our actual future results can be expected to differ from our expectations, and those differences may be material. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on forward-looking statements, which are based only on known results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends. Certain risks are discussed in this prospectus and also from time to time in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). For additional information regarding risk factors that could affect the Company’s projections, see the “Risk Factors” section in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended October 31, 2022 incorporated by reference herein, and as may be included from time-to-time in our reports filed with the SEC which will be accessible at www.sec.gov, and which you are advised to consult.

 

This prospectus and all subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the time of such statements and we do not undertake or plan to update or revise such forward-looking statements as more information becomes available or to reflect changes in expectations, assumptions or results, except as and to the extent required by applicable securities laws. We can give no assurance that such expectations or forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. An occurrence of, or any material adverse change in, one or more of the risk factors or risks and uncertainties referred to in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended October 31, 2022 incorporated by reference in this prospectus, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, and our future performance.

 

Industry Data and Forecasts

 

This prospectus contains data related to the oral healthcare products industry in Canada and the United States. This industry data includes projections that are based on a number of assumptions which have been derived from industry and government sources which we believe to be reasonable. The oral healthcare products industry may not grow at the rate projected by industry data, or at all. The failure of the industry to grow as anticipated is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business and the market price of our Common Shares. In addition, the rapidly changing nature of the oral healthcare products industry and consumer preferences subjects any projections or estimates relating to the growth prospects or future condition of our industries to significant uncertainties. Furthermore, if any one or more of the assumptions underlying the industry data turns out to be incorrect, actual results may, and are likely to, differ from the projections based on these assumptions.

Dividend Policy

 

Since inception, we have not declared or paid any dividends on our Common Shares. We do not have any current plans to pay any such dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to operate and expand our business. Because we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on Common Shares in the foreseeable future, capital appreciation, if any, will be your sole source of gains and you may never receive a return on your investment.

 

The determination to pay dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and may be based on a number of factors, including our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual and legal restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant.

 

 

Use of Proceeds

 

The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Common Shares by the Selling Securityholders. We may receive proceeds up to (i) $1,553 in the event of the exercise in full of the Prefunded Warrant for cash, and (ii) $3,000 in the event of the exercise in full of the Alchemy Warrants. All proceeds from the sale of such Common Shares will be paid directly to the Selling Securityholders.

Description of COMMON SHARES

 

Common Shares

 

The following is a description of our Common Shares. You should read the material provisions of our Memorandum and Articles of Association as incorporated by reference to Item 10B of our Annual Report on Form 20-F into this prospectus.

 

All of our issued and outstanding Common Shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Our Common Shares are issuable in registered form and are issued when registered in our register of members. Holders of Common Shares are entitled to one vote in respect of each share held. The holders of Common Shares are entitled, out of any or all profits or surplus available for dividends, to receive, when, as and if declared by the directors, those dividends as may be declared from time to time in respect of Common Shares. Common Shares are not redeemable or retractable unless the board of directors determine otherwise, each holder of Common Shares will not receive a certificate evidencing such shares. Holders of Common Shares may freely hold and vote their shares.

 

We are authorized to issue an unlimited amount of Common Shares with no par value per share. Subject to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (“Business Corporations Act”) and our articles regarding redemption and purchase of the shares, the directors have general and unconditional authority to allot (with or without confirming rights of renunciation), grant options over or otherwise deal with any unissued shares to such persons, at such times and on such terms and conditions as they may decide. Such authority could be exercised by the directors to allot shares which carry rights and privileges that are preferential to the rights attaching to common shares. No share may be issued at a discount except in accordance with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act and the Nasdaq. The directors may refuse to accept any application for shares and may accept any application in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason.

 

On August 1, 2023, the Company effected the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1-for-25 to comply with the Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 25 Common Shares issued and outstanding were exchanged for one Common Share. If any fractional common shares are created as a result of the Consolidation, any fractional Common Share less than 0.50 will be cancelled and any fractional Common Share greater than 0.50 will be rounded up to the nearest whole Common Share. Immediately after the Reverse Stock Split became effective, the Company had approximately 511,368 Common Shares issued and outstanding.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

 

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of purchasing, owing and disposing of our Common Shares. This discussion is included for general informational purposes only, does not purport to consider all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that might be relevant to a U.S. Holder, and does not constitute, and is not, a tax opinion for or tax advice to any particular U.S. Holder. The summary does not address any U.S. tax matters other than those specifically discussed. The summary is based on the provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), existing Treasury Regulations (including temporary regulations) issued thereunder, judicial decisions and administrative rulings and pronouncements and other legal authorities, all as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such change could alter the tax consequences described herein.

 

The discussion below applies only to U.S Holders holding shares of our Common Shares as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment), and does not address the tax consequences that may be relevant to U.S. Holders who, in light of their particular circumstances, may be subject to special tax rules, including without limitation:

	●	U.S. Holders that are classified for U.S. federal income tax purposes as partnerships and other pass-through entities and investors therein;
	●	U.S. Holders who hold shares as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale, conversion, or other integrated or risk-reduction transaction, as “qualified small business stock,” within the meaning of Section 1202 of the Code or as Section 1244 stock for purposes of the Code;
	●	U.S. Holders who hold shares through individual retirement or other tax-deferred accounts;
	●	U.S. Holders that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar;
	●	U.S. Holders who are subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code or the tax imposed by Section 1411 of the Code;
	●	U.S. Holders who acquire shares pursuant to any employee share option or otherwise as compensation;
	●	U.S. Holders required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to their holding of shares as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement; or
	●	U.S. Holders who hold or held, directly or indirectly, or are treated as holding or having held under applicable constructive attribution rules, 10% or more of our shares, measured by voting power or value.

 

Any such U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

 

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” means a holder of Common Shares that is or is treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as (i) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or any entity treated as such for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust (A) the administration over which a U.S. court exercises primary supervision and all of the substantial decisions of which one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control, or (B) that has a valid election in effect under the applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person under the Code.

 

If a partnership or other pass-through entity (including any entity or arrangement treated as such for purposes of U.S. federal income tax law) holds our shares, the tax treatment of a partner of such partnership or member of such entity will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships and other pass-through entities holding our shares, and any person who is a partner or member of such entities should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of the shares.

 

 

Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations

 

A non-U.S. corporation will be classified as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, if, in the case of any particular taxable year, either (i) 75% or more of its gross income for such taxable year consists of certain types of “passive” income or (ii) 50% or more of the value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets) during such taxable year is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, a foreign corporation will be treated as owning its proportionate share of the assets and earning its proportionate share of the income of any other non-U.S. corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, more than 25% (by value) of the stock. In the PFIC analysis, cash is categorized as a passive asset, and the company’s un-booked intangibles associated with active business activities may generally be classified as active assets. Passive income generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and gains from the disposition of passive assets.

 

Based upon our current income and assets and projections as to the value of our Common Shares, we do not presently expect that we will be classified as a PFIC for the 2023 taxable year or the foreseeable future. The determination of whether we will be or become a PFIC will depend upon the composition of our income (which may differ from our historical results and current projections) and assets and the value of its assets from time to time, including, in particular the value of its goodwill and other unbooked intangibles (which may depend upon the market value of our Common Shares from time to time and may be volatile). It is also possible that the IRS may challenge the classification or valuation of our assets, including goodwill and other unbooked intangibles, or the classification of certain amounts received by us, including interest earnings, which may result in our being, or becoming classified as, a PFIC for the 2023 taxable year, or future taxable years.

 

The determination of whether we will be or become a PFIC may also depend, in part, on how, and how quickly, we use liquid assets and the cash proceeds of this offering or otherwise. If we were to retain significant amounts of liquid assets, including cash, the risk of being classified as a PFIC may substantially increase. Because there are uncertainties in the application of the relevant rules and PFIC status is a factual determination made annually after the close of each taxable year, there can be no assurance that we will not be a PFIC for the 2023 taxable year or any future taxable year, and no opinion of counsel has or will be provided regarding our classification as a PFIC. If we were classified as a PFIC for any year during which a holder held Common Shares, we generally would continue to be treated as a PFIC for all succeeding years during which such holder held our shares. The discussion below under “—Dividends Paid on Shares of Common Shares” and “—Sale or Other Disposition of Shares” is written on the basis that we will not be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

Dividends Paid on Shares of Common Shares

 

We have never paid dividends with respect to our Common Shares and we have no plan to do so in the foreseeable future. In the event our dividend policy were to change, the following discussion addresses the U.S. tax consequences of any dividends we might distribute. Subject to the PFIC rules described below, any cash distributions (including constructive distributions) paid with respect to the shares of our Common Shares out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, will generally be includible in the gross income of a U.S. Holder as dividend income on the day actually or constructively received by the U.S. Holder. Because we do not intend to determine our earnings and profits on the basis of U.S. federal income tax principles, any distribution will generally be treated as a “dividend” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under current law, a non-corporate recipient of a dividend from a “qualified foreign corporation” will generally be subject to tax on the dividend income at the lower applicable net capital gains rate rather than the marginal tax rates generally applicable to ordinary income, provided certain holding period and other requirements are met.

 

 

A non-U.S. corporation (other than a corporation that is classified as a PFIC for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year) will generally be considered to be a qualified foreign corporation (i) if it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive tax treaty with the United States which the Secretary of Treasury of the United States determines is satisfactory for purposes of this provision and which includes an exchange of information program, or (ii) with respect to any dividend it pays on stock, which is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. We believe we are eligible for the benefits of the Convention Between the United States of America and Canada with Respect to Taxes on Income and Capital (or the United States-Canada income tax treaty), which the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States has determined is satisfactory for this purpose and includes an exchange of information program, in which case we would be treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends paid in respect of our Common Shares. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the reduced tax rate on dividends in their particular circumstances. Dividends received in respect of our Common Shares will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations.

 

Sale or Other Disposition of Shares

 

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder of our Common Shares will generally recognize capital gain or loss, if any, upon the sale or other disposition of Common Shares and warrants in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized upon such sale or other disposition and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such shares. Any capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for more than one year and will generally be United States source capital gain or loss for United States foreign tax credit purposes. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate taxpayers are currently eligible for reduced rates of taxation.

 

Disposition of Foreign Currency

 

U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of receiving, converting or disposing of any non-U.S. currency received as dividends on our Common Shares.

 

Tax on Net Investment Income

 

U.S. Holders may be subject to an additional 3.8% Medicare tax on some or all of such U.S. Holder’s “net investment income” as defined in Section 1411 of the Code. Net investment income generally includes income from the shares unless such income is derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). You should consult your tax advisors regarding the effect this tax may have, if any, on your acquisition, ownership or disposition of Common Shares.

 

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

 

If we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds shares of our Common Shares, unless the holder makes a mark-to-market election (as described below), the holder will, except as discussed below, be subject to special tax rules that have a penalizing effect, regardless of whether we remain a PFIC, on (i) any “excess distribution” that we make to the holder (which generally means any distribution paid during a taxable year to a holder that is greater than 125% of the average annual distributions paid in the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the holder’s holding period for the shares), and (ii) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition, including, under certain circumstances, a pledge, of our Common Shares.

 

Under the PFIC rules:

 

	●	The excess distribution and/or gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Common Shares;
	●	Taxable years in the U.S. Holder’s holding period prior to the first taxable year in which we are classified as a PFIC, or a pre-PFIC year, will be taxable as ordinary income;
	●	The amount of the excess distribution or gain allocated to the taxable year of the distribution or disposition; and any
	●	The amount of the excess distribution or gain allocated to each taxable year other than the taxable year of the distribution or disposition or a pre-PFIC year, will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect applicable to the individuals or corporations, and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.

 

 

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our Common Shares and any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries is also a PFIC, such holder would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of the lower-tier PFIC for purposes of the application of these rules. Each U.S. Holder is advised to consult its tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to any of our subsidiaries.

 

As an alternative to the foregoing rules, a U.S. Holder of “marketable stock” (as defined in the Code and the regulations) in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such shares, provided that the shares “regularly traded” (as defined in the Code and the regulations) on a national securities exchange, such as The Nasdaq Capital Market where we have applied for the shares to be listed. No assurances may be given regarding whether our Common Shares will qualify or, if so qualified, will continue to be qualified, as being “regularly traded” for purposes of the Code and the regulations. If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election, such U.S. Holder will generally (i) include as ordinary income, for each taxable year that we are a PFIC, the excess, if any, of the fair market value of Common Shares held at the end of the taxable year over the adjusted tax basis of such shares and (ii) deduct as an ordinary loss the excess, if any, of the adjusted tax basis of the shares over the fair market value of such shares held at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. The U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Common Shares would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss resulting from the mark-to-market election. If a U.S. Holder makes an effective mark-to-market election, in each year that we are a PFIC, any gain recognized upon the sale or other disposition of Common Shares will be treated as ordinary income and loss will be treated as ordinary loss, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of a mark-to-market election with respect to such shares.

 

If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election in respect of a corporation classified as a PFIC and such corporation ceases to be classified as a PFIC, the holder will not be required to take into account the mark-to-market gain or loss described above during any period that such corporation is not classified as a PFIC.

 

Because a mark-to-market election cannot be made for any lower-tier PFICs that a PFIC may own, a U.S. Holder who makes a mark-to-market election with respect to its holding of our Common Shares may continue to be subject to the general PFIC rules with respect to such holder’s indirect interest in any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries that is classified as a PFIC.

 

We do not intend to provide information necessary for any U.S. Holder to make a “qualified electing fund” election, which, if available, would result in tax treatment different from the general tax treatment for PFICs described above. However, as described above under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,” it is not presently expected that we will be classified as a PFIC for the 2023 taxable year or the foreseeable future.

 

As discussed above under “Dividends Paid on Shares of Common Shares,” dividends paid in respect of our Common Shares will not be eligible for the reduced tax rate that applies to qualified dividend income if we are classified as a PFIC for either the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year. In addition, if a U.S. Holder owns shares during any taxable year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file an annual information return on Form 8621 with the IRS. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of purchasing, holding, and disposing our Common Shares should we be or become a PFIC, including the possibility of making a mark-to-market election and the unavailability of the qualified electing fund election.

 

Information reporting and backup withholding

 

Certain U.S. Holders are required to report information to the IRS relating to interests in “specified foreign financial assets,” including shares issued by a non-U.S. corporation, for any year in which the aggregate value of all specified foreign financial assets exceeds fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) (or a higher U.S. dollar amount prescribed by the IRS), subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for shares held in custodial accounts maintained with a United States financial institution). These rules also impose penalties if a holder is required to submit such information to the IRS and fails to do so.

 

 

In addition, U.S. Holders may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and backup withholding with respect to dividends on and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our Common Shares. Information reporting will apply to payments of such dividends and to proceeds from such sale or other disposition by a paying agent within the United States to a holder, other than holders that are exempt from information reporting and properly certify their exemption. A paying agent within the United States will be required to withhold at the applicable statutory rate, currently 24%, in respect of any payments of dividends on, and the proceeds from the disposition of our Common Shares within the U.S. to a U.S. Holder (other than holders that are exempt from backup withholding and properly certify their exemption) if the holder fails to furnish its correct taxpayer identification number or otherwise fails to comply with applicable backup withholding requirements. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status generally must provide a properly completed IRS Form W-9.

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. A U.S. Holder generally may obtain a refund of any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS in a timely manner and furnishing any required information. Each U.S. Holder is advised to consult with its tax advisor regarding the application of the United States information reporting rules to their particular circumstances.

 

This summary is of a general nature only, is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Holder. Accordingly, Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.

 

Certain Canadian Tax Considerations

 

The following is a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a purchaser who acquires shares pursuant to this offering. This summary applies only to a purchaser who is a beneficial owner shares acquired pursuant to this offering and who, for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereunder (the “Tax Act”) and at all relevant times: (i) deals at arm’s length with the company and is not affiliated with the company and (ii) holds the shares as capital property (a “Holder”).

 

Our Common Shares will generally be considered to be capital property of a Holder unless they are held in the course of carrying on a business or were acquired in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade. A purchaser who is resident in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act and whose shares might not otherwise qualify as capital property may be entitled to make the irrevocable election provided by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act to have the shares and every other “Canadian security” (as defined in the Tax Act) owned by such purchaser in the taxation year of the election and in all subsequent taxation years deemed to be capital property. Purchasers should consult their own tax advisors for advice as to whether an election under subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act is available and/or advisable in their particular circumstances.

 

This summary is not applicable to a Holder: (i) that is a “financial institution” within the meaning of section 142.2 of the Tax Act; (ii) that is a “specified financial institution” as defined in the Tax Act; (iii) that has made a “functional currency” reporting election under section 261 of the Tax Act to report its “Canadian tax results” in a currency other than Canadian currency; (iv) an interest in which is, or for whom a share would be, a “tax shelter investment” for the purposes of the Tax Act; or (v) that has entered or will enter into a “derivative forward agreement” or “synthetic disposition arrangement”, as those terms are defined in the Tax Act, in respect of the shares. Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

 

This summary does not address the possible application of the “foreign affiliate dumping” rules that may be applicable to a Holder that is a corporation resident in Canada (for the purposes of the Tax Act) that is, or that becomes, or does not deal at arm’s length for purposes of the Tax Act with a corporation resident in Canada that is or becomes, as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events that includes the acquisition of shares, controlled by a non-resident corporation for purposes of the rules in section 212.3 of the Tax Act.

 

This summary is based upon: (i) the current provisions of the Tax Act in force as of the date hereof; (ii) all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act that have been publicly announced by, or on behalf of, the Minister of Finance (Canada) and published in writing prior to the date hereof (the “Proposed Amendments”); and (iii) counsel’s understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) published in writing and publicly available prior to the date hereof. No assurance can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted or otherwise implemented in their current form, if at all. Other than the Proposed Amendments, this summary does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law, administrative policy or assessing practice, whether by legislative, regulatory, administrative, governmental or judicial decision or action, nor does it take into account the tax laws of any province or territory of Canada or of any jurisdiction outside of Canada.

 

 

Holders Not Resident in Canada

 

This portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act: (a) is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada; and (b) does not use or hold the shares in connection with carrying on a business in Canada (a “Non-Resident Holder”). This portion of the summary does not apply to a Holder that carries on, or is deemed to carry on, an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere or that is an “authorized foreign bank” (as defined in the Tax Act) and such Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

 

Dividends

 

Dividends paid or credited (or deemed to be paid or credited) by the Corporation to a Non-Resident Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25%, subject to any reduction in the rate of withholding to which the Non-Resident Holder is entitled under an applicable income tax convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Resident Holder is resident. For example, where a Non-Resident Holder is a resident of the United States, is fully entitled to the benefits under the Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980), as amended, and is the beneficial owner of the dividend, the applicable rate of Canadian withholding tax is generally reduced to 15%.

 

Dispositions of Shares

 

A Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain realized on a disposition or deemed disposition of a share unless the share is, or is deemed to be, “taxable Canadian property” of the Non-Resident Holder for the purposes of the Tax Act and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to an exemption under an applicable income tax convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Resident Holder is resident.

 

Generally, a share will not constitute taxable Canadian property of a Non-Resident Holder provided that the shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange” for the purposes of the Tax Act (which currently includes the Canadian Securities Exchange), unless at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding the disposition, (a) at least 25% of the issued shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the company were owned by or belonged to any combination of: (i) the Non-Resident Holder, (ii) persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm’s length, and (iii) partnerships in which the Non-Resident Holder or a person described in (ii) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships; and (b) at such time, more than 50% of the fair market value of such shares was derived, directly or indirectly, from any combination of real or immovable property situated in Canada, “Canadian resource property” (as defined in the Tax Act), “timber resource property” (as defined in the Tax Act), or options in respect of, interests in, or for civil law rights in such properties, whether or not such property exists.

 

If a Non-Resident Holder disposes (or is deemed to have disposed) of a share that is taxable Canadian property of that Non-Resident Holder, and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to an exemption under an applicable income tax convention, the consequences described above under the headings “Holders Resident in Canada — Dispositions of Shares” and “Holders Resident in Canada — Taxable Capital Gains and Losses” will generally be applicable to such disposition. Such Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

 

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are registering Common Shares issuable to Selling Securityholders to permit the resale by the Selling Securityholders from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register Common Shares issuable to the Selling Securityholders.

 

The Selling Securityholders and any of its respective pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their respective Common Shares on The Nasdaq Stock Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the Common Shares are traded or in private transactions or a combination thereof. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Securityholders and any of its pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may use any one or more of the following methods when selling the Common Shares:

 

	●	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
	●	block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
	●	purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
	●	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
	●	privately negotiated transactions;
	●	settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
	●	broker-dealers may agree with the selling security holder to sell a specified number of securities at a stipulated price per security;
	●	through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
	●	a combination of any such methods of sale; or
	●	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

Each of the Selling Securityholders may distribute the Common Shares of which it is the owner by means of a dividend or other form of distribution, including in connection with a declaration of a dividend or distribution, reorganization, combination, consolidation and dissolution.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by any selling Security Holder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Securityholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of the securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but the maximum amount of compensation to be received by any participating FINRA member may not exceed 8%.

 

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the Common Shares. The Security Holder is responsible for any selling commissions and other expenses of sale of the securities.

 

Since the Selling Securityholders may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, the deemed Selling Securityholders will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. We have been informed by the Selling Securityholders that there is no underwriter or single coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed distribution of the Common Shares by the Selling Securityholders.

 

We intend, but are not obligated, to keep this prospectus and the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part effective until the earlier to occur of (i) such time as Rule 144 or another similar exemption under the Securities Act is available for the sale of all the Common Shares, without volume or manner of sale restrictions during a three month period without registration or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The public resale of the securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the public resale of the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

 

Pursuant to applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the public resale of securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Common Shares for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Securityholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of Common Shares by any person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Securityholders and have informed the Selling Securityholders of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

 

 

Legal Matters

 

We are being represented by Lucosky Brookman LLP with respect to certain matters as to the federal law of the United States of America and the law of the State of New York. The validity of the Common Shares and other matters as to the law of Canada and the Province of British Columbia will be passed upon for us by DuMoulin Black LLP.

PART II

 

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

The Company’s articles provide, to the fullest extent permitted by the Canadian Business Corporations Act, Division 5 of Part 5, for the right to indemnification of the directors and former directors of the Company, who was or is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to, any threatened, or pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of fact that he/she is or was serving in such capacity.

 

In this regard, investors should be aware of the position of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission respecting such indemnification, which position is as follows: “Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.”

 

Item 7. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

 

On December 3, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with several investors, and a Security Agreement, in connection with the issuance of promissory notes in the aggregate principate amount of up to $3,000,000 (the “December Notes”), convertible into shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”), upon the terms and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in the December Notes, the issuance of Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock upon the terms and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in such warrants (the “Warrants”), and the issuance of shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment Fee Shares”) pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

On April 28, 2022, the Company entered into a second Securities Purchase Agreement with the same group of investors, and a Security Agreement, in connection with the issuance of promissory notes in the aggregate principate amount of up to $1,650,000 (the “April Notes”), convertible into Common Stock, upon the terms and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in the April Notes, the issuance of Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock upon the terms and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in such warrants (the “Warrants”), and the issuance of shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment Fee Shares”) pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

On December 7, 2022, the Company entered into a private placement (the “PIPE Financing”) pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) and Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with institutional investors (“Purchasers”) for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3 million, before deducting fees to the placement agent and other expenses payable by the Company. Aegis Capital Corp. is the exclusive placement agent in connection with the offering. The Offering closed on December 9, 2022.

 

In connection with the PIPE Financing, the Company issued 2,966,667 shares of common stock (not reflecting the Reverse Stock Split), Common Warrants to purchase 4,916,668 shares of common stock (not reflecting the Reverse Stock Split), and Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 1,950,001 shares of common stock (not reflecting the Reverse Stock Split). The Common Warrants have a term of 5.5 years from the issuance date.

 

On June 26, 2023, the Company completed the June 2023 Private Placement and issued the June 2023 Note to Target Capital. The June 2023 Note will mature on June 26, 2024 and, if any Event of Default occurs an interest rate equal to 20% per annum shall immediately accrue which shall be paid in cash monthly to Target Capital until the Event of Default is cured. The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to (i) for the first nine (9) months following the date hereof, shall be $0.25, or $6.25 after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, which amount may adjusted by mutual agreement by the parties; and (ii) following the nine (9) month anniversary of the date hereof, 90% of the lowest closing price of the Company’s shares for the previous three (3) Trading Days prior to the conversion date (the “Conversion Price”); provided, however, that such price shall in no event be less than $0.15, or $3.75 after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split. The June 2023 Note contains customary and standard representations and warranties, and covenants. In connection with the issuance of the June 2023 Note, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement and a registration rights agreement with Target Capital, and issued a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 400,941 Common Shares, with an Exercise Price of $0.001 or on a cashless basis, to Target Capital. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company must file a registration statement covering the resale of such number of shares equal to 200% of the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the June 2023 Note and the exercise of the Purchase Warrant, or a total of 2,583,842 Common Shares.

 

On October 2, 2023, in connection with the October 2023 Private Placement, the company entered into a securities purchase agreement and registration rights agreement with Generating Alpha Ltd. for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,010,000, before deducting fees to the placement agent and other expenses payable by the Company. The October 2023 Private Placement closed on October 2, 2023. As part of the October 2023 Private Placement, the Company will issue 79,724 common shares of the Company, a prefunded common share purchase warrant (the “Prefunded Warrant”) to purchase 7,181,146 common shares of the Company, and a common share purchase warrant (the “Warrant” and together with the Prefunded Warrant, the “Warrants”) to purchase 8,350,000 common shares of the Company. The Warrants have a term of five years from the date of issuance.

 

In connection with the October 2023 Private Placement, the Company entered into the Waiver and Notice Letter with Target Capital whereby the Company requested that Target Capital waive certain provisions of the securities purchase agreement between the Company and Target Capital, dated June 26, 2023 and the related convertible note in the initial principal amount of $3,341,176 in exchange for the Company issuing to Target Capital a pre-funded warrant to purchase 1,000,000 Common Shares.

 

 

As previously reported on December 20, 2022, the Company entered into a $3 million private placement transaction, pursuant to which the Company issued to certain investors (the “Holders”) Common Stock purchase warrants (the “Existing Warrants”), each warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock. On August 22, 2023, the Company issued an offer letter to the Holders (the “Inducement Letter”), providing the Holders the opportunity to exercise for cash all or some of the Existing Warrants at an exercise price of $3.33 per Common Share in consideration for the issuance to each exercising Holder of a new Common Stock purchase warrant (the “New Warrant”) exercisable at an exercise price of $3.33 per share for a number of Common Shares equal to 250% of the number of Common Shares issued in connection with the Inducement Letter. The New Warrants are exercisable up to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on June 9, 2028. In connection with the Inducement Letter, the Holders elected to exercise Existing Warrants for 633,026 Common Shares. As a result of such exercise, New Warrants exercisable for an aggregate 1,582,566 Common Shares were issued.

 

On October 23, 2023, the Company and YBV entered into the Amendment to Credit Support Agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment to Credit Support Agreement, if the Credit Support has been drawn as of October 24, 2023, the Company shall cause to be issued to YBV additional Shares in an amount equal to 50% of the Drawn Credit Amount (as defined below), divided by the closing price of the Shares on the last trading day prior to October 24, 2023. Further, following the sale by YBV of all of such Shares as YBV shall have received in respect of this Agreement (the “YBV Share Sale”), if the proceeds of the YBV Share Sale shall be less than the amount of the Credit Support drawn by the creditor (the “Drawn Credit Amount”), the Company shall pay to YBV cash in an amount equal to the difference between Drawn Credit Amount and the proceeds of the YBV Share Sale.

 

On October 23, 2023, the Company entered into the Alchemy Consulting Agreement with the Consultant, whereby the Consultant was engaged by the Company as a business consultant. In return for the services rendered by the Consultant, the Company issued to the Consultant the Alchemy Warrants to purchase 3,000,000 Common Shares. The Alchemy Warrants are exercisable for five years, and the exercise price is $0.001 per share. The exercise of Alchemy Warrants is subject to the beneficial ownership limitation.

Item 9. Undertakings.

 

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§ 230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Dear Sirs/Mesdames:

 

Re:	Bruush Oral Care Inc. (the “Company”)

 

We are British Columbia (the “Province”) securities counsel for the Company and are rendering this opinion in connection with the filing of Amendment No.1 to registration statement on Form F-1, File No. 333-272942 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with respect to the resale from time to time by the Selling Securityholders (as defined in the Registration Statement) of: (a) in respect of Generating Alpha Ltd.: (i) 79,724 common shares of the Company (the “GA Shares”); (ii) 7,181,146 common shares of the Company (the “GA Prefunded Warrant Shares”) that may be issued upon exercise of a pre-funded common share purchase warrant of the Company (the “GA Prefunded Warrant”); and (iii) 8,350,000 common shares of the Company (the “GA Warrant Shares”) that may be issued upon exercise of a common share purchase warrant of the Company (the “GA Warrant”); (b) in respect of Yaletown Bros. Ventures Ltd., an aggregate of 9,980,398 common shares of the Company (the “Yaletown Shares”); and (c) in respect of Alchemy Advisors LLC (“Alchemy”) and pursuant to a consulting agreement between Alchemy and the Company dated October 23, 2023 (the “Alchemy Agreement”), 3,000,000 common shares of the Company (the “Alchemy Warrant Shares”) that may be issued upon exercise of 3,000,000 pre-funded common share purchase warrants in the capital of the Company (the “Alchemy Warrants”), all as further described in the Registration Statement.

 

For the purposes of our opinion below, we have relied solely on:

 

(a)	a certificate of an officer of the Company (the “Officer’s Certificate”) dated the date hereof certifying, among other things:

 

(i)

the issuance of the GA Shares, the GA Prefunded Warrant, the GA Warrant, the Yaletown Shares (collectively, the “Issued Securities”) and the receipt of full consideration for the Issued Securities;

 

(ii)

the Certificate of Incorporation, Notice of Articles and Articles of the Company;

 

(iii)

copies of the directors’ resolutions of the Company dated September 1, 2023, October 1, 2023 and October 24, 2023 approving, among other things, the issuance of the Issued Securities, which resolutions we have assumed will be in full force and effect, at all relevant times;

 

 

(b)	a draft copy of the Registration Statement;

 

(c)	original and/or copies of the executed certificate representing each of the certificate GA Prefunded Warrant (the “GA Prefunded Warrant Certificate”) and GA Warrant (the “GA Warrant Certificate”);

 

Whenever our opinion refers to shares of the Company whether issued or to be issued, as being “fully paid and non-assessable”, such opinion indicates that the holder of such shares will not be liable to contribute any further amounts to the Company by virtue of its status as a holder of such shares, either in order to complete payment for the shares or to generally satisfy claims of creditors of the Company. No opinion is expressed as to actual receipt by the Company of the consideration for the issuance of such shares or as to the adequacy of any consideration received.

 

We have also examined and relied upon such other documents as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity at all relevant times of any individual signing such documents, the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies or facsimiles (including scanned copies provided by email), and the authenticity of the originals of such certified or photostatic copies or facsimiles and the truth and accuracy of all corporate records of the Company and certificates of officers provided to us by the Company.

 

We are solicitors qualified to practice law in the Province only and we express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction, or as to any matters governed by the laws of any jurisdiction, other than the laws of the Province and the laws of Canada applicable therein. The opinions herein are based on the laws of the Province and the laws of Canada applicable therein in effect on the date hereof.

 

The opinions expressed below are given as of the date of this letter and are not prospective. We disclaim any obligation to advise the addressees or any other person of any change in law or any fact which may come or be brought to our attention after the date of this letter.

 

Other than our review of the Officer’s Certificate, we have not undertaken any special or independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of any facts or circumstances on which our opinions herein are based, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence of such facts or circumstances should be drawn merely from our representation of the Company.

 

Based and relying upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions and qualifications expressed above and below, we are of the opinion that:

 

1.	The GA Shares and the Yaletown Shares have been duly allotted and authorized for issue by the Company and have been validly issued as fully paid and non-assessable shares.

 

2.

Upon receipt by the Company of the exercise price in full for the GA Prefunded Warrant Shares and the issuance of the GA Prefunded Warrant Shares in consideration for such exercise price in accordance with the terms of the GA Prefunded Warrant Certificates, the GA Prefunded Warrant Shares will be validly issued as fully paid and non-assessable shares in the capital of the Company.

 

 

3.

Upon receipt by the Company of the exercise price in full for the GA Warrant Shares and the issuance of the GA Warrant Shares in consideration for such exercise price in accordance with the terms of the GA Warrant Certificates, the GA Warrant Shares will be validly issued as fully paid and non-assessable shares in the capital of the Company.

 

4.

The issuance of the Alchemy Warrants by the Company has been authorized and upon the receipt by the Company of the consideration for the Alchemy Warrants and the issuance of the Alchemy Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Alchemy Agreement, the Alchemy Warrants will be validly issued and constitute valid obligations of the Company.

 

5.

Upon the receipt by the Company of the exercise price in full for the Alchemy Warrant Shares and the issuance of the Alchemy Warrant Shares in consideration for such exercise price in accordance with the terms of the certificate(s) governing the Alchemy Warrants, the Alchemy Warrant Shares will be validly issued as fully paid and non-assessable shares in the capital of the Company.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

Yours truly,

 

/s/ DuMoulin Black LLP
