WeedMD Inc. (TSX-V:WMD) (OTCQX:WDDMF) (FSE:4WE)
(“
WeedMD” or the “
Company”), a
federally licensed producer and distributor of medical-grade
cannabis, is pleased to announce it has closed its previously
announced bought deal short-form prospectus offering of 35,937,500
units (“
Units”) at a price of $0.48 per Unit for
aggregate gross proceeds of $17,250,000, including full exercise of
the over-allotment (the “
Offering”). The syndicate
of underwriters was led by Eight Capital and Canaccord Genuity
Corp. as the co-lead underwriters, along with INFOR Financial Inc.
(collectively, the “
Underwriters”). The Units were
offered and sold by way of a short-form prospectus filed with the
securities commissions in each of the provinces of Canada, other
than Quebec and Newfoundland.
Each Unit is comprised of one common share of
the Company (a “Common Share”) and one half of one
Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a
“Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder
thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.60
per Common Share until March 12, 2023. If after the one-year
anniversary of the closing of the Offering the daily volume
weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX
Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) is equal to or greater
than $0.96 per Common Share for the preceding 10 consecutive
trading days, the Company shall have the right to accelerate the
expiry date of the Warrants to a date that is 30 trading days
following the date of the Company issues a press release disclosing
such acceleration.
The TSXV has conditionally approved the listing
of: (i) the Common Shares and the Warrants issued pursuant to the
Offering, (ii) the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants, and (iii) the Common Shares and Warrants forming part of
the compensation units issued to the Underwriters in connection
with the Offering. Listing will be subject to the Company
fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the TSXV. The Company
expects the Warrants to commence trading on or about March 19,
2021.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of
the Offering to accelerate its growth plans through the use of
sales and marketing initiatives, increasing operational capacity
and additional product development initiatives.
The securities mentioned herein have not been
and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any U.S. state securities
laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration or an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state
securities laws.
This press release does not constitute an offer
to sell or a solicitation of any offer to buy the securities in the
United States, in any province or territory of Canada or in any
other jurisdiction. There shall be no sale of the securities in any
jurisdiction in which an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer
to buy or sale would be unlawful.
