AURORA SPINE ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING
October 23 2023 - 7:15AM
Aurora Spine Corporation ("Aurora Spine" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE: ASG) (OTCQB: ASAPF) is pleased to announce that it has
completed a non-brokered private placement offering of units
("Units") for gross proceeds of approximately CDN$1.9 million (the
"Offering").
Pursuant to the Offering, the Company has issued
6,445,939 Units at a price of CDN$0.30 per Unit. Each Unit is
comprised of one common share of the Company and one common share
purchase warrant of the Company. Each whole warrant is exercisable
at a price of CDN$0.50 per common share for a period of 24 months
following the date of issuance. In connection with the Offering,
the Company paid finder's fees in the amount of CDN$50,700 in the
aggregate. PowerOne Capital Markets Limited acted as a finder in
connection with a portion of the Offering.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the
Offering to fund increased working capital resulting from expected
growth in sales of several of its new products including SiLO TFX
and Dexa/Apollo and from continuing growth in ZIP as Aurora adds
new direct sales staff.
The securities issued under the Offering will be
subject to a four-month hold period in accordance with applicable
securities legislation. The Offering is subject to TSX Venture
Exchange final approval.
Certain directors of the Company (collectively,
the "Insiders") participated in the Offering and, as such, the
Offering may constitute a related party transaction under
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security
Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), but is otherwise
exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements
of MI 61-101 by virtue Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101
in respect of such Insider participation in the Offering. No
special committee was established in connection with the Offering
or the participation of the Insiders in the Offering, and no
materially contrary view or abstention was expressed or made by any
director of the Company in relation thereto. Further details will
be included in a material change report that will be filed by the
Company in connection with the completion of the Offering. The
Company did not file the material change report more than 21 days
before the initial closing date of the Offering as the terms of the
Offering and the total amount to be invested by the Insiders were
not settled until shortly prior to the closing of the Offering, and
the Company wished to complete the Offering on an expedited basis
for sound business reasons.
