Voleo Announces Closing of Equity Financing
October 28 2020 - 9:00AM
Voleo Trading Systems
Inc. (TRAD: TSX-V, VLEOF:
OTC-QB) (“
Voleo”, the
“
Company”) announces that it has closed its
previously announced non-brokered private placement (the
“Offering”). The Offering consisted of 19,312,996 units issued at
$0.07 per unit (each a “Unit”) for aggregate gross proceeds of
$1,351,909.72. Each Unit consists of one common share (each a
“Share”) and one warrant (each a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles
the holder thereof to purchase an additional Share for $0.20 for a
period of 24 months after closing. The Units are subject to a
statutory four month hold period that expires on February 28, 2021.
The Units are further subject to a restrictive legend that will
result in the Units being released from trading restrictions in
four equal tranches at six month intervals from the closing.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of
the Offering for general corporate and working capital purposes and
a reserve for exploring potential asset acquisitions.
To demonstrate continued support of the Company,
certain directors, officers and insiders of the Company
participated in the Offering and acquired 1,573,570 Units for
proceeds of $110,149.90. Such participation is considered a related
party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument
61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special
Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The related party transaction will be
exempt from minority approval, information circular and formal
valuation requirements pursuant to the exemptions contained in
Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair
market value of the gross securities to be issued under the
Offering nor the consideration to be paid by the insiders will
exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company did
not file a material change report related to this financing more
than 21 days before the expected closing of the Offering as
required by MI 61-101 since the details of the participation by the
related parties of the Company were not settled until shortly prior
to the closing of the Offering and the Company wished to close on
an expedited basis for sound business reasons. The Units that will
be acquired by the related parties have been acquired pursuant to
an exemption from the prospectus requirement in section 2.3 of
National Instrument 45-106.
This news release does not constitute an
offer of securities for sale in the United States. The securities
being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the
Unites States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and such
securities may not be offered or sold within the United States
absent U.S. registration or an applicable exemption from U.S.
registration requirements.
