CALGARY, AB, April 27, 2021 /CNW/ - Eguana Technologies Inc. (TSXV: EGT) (OTCQB: EGTYF) ("Eguana" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to its press release dated February 25, 2021, it has filed a preliminary short form prospectus (the "Prospectus") with the securities commissions in the Provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Ontario (the "Qualifying jurisdictions"), in connection with its previously announced private placement (the "Offering") of 50,000,000 special warrants of the Company (the "Special Warrants"). A copy of the Prospectus is available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
The Prospectus was filed in connection with the anticipated distribution of 50,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Common Shares"), issuable for no additional consideration upon the exercise or deemed exercise of Special Warrants. The Special Warrants were issued on February 25, 2021, at a price of $0.40 per Special Warrant, to purchasers in each of the Qualifying Jurisdictions and certain other jurisdictions pursuant to the terms of a special warrant indenture dated February 25, 2021 between the Company and TSX Trust Company, in its capacity as Special Warrant agent and an agency agreement dated February 25, 2021 among the Company, Stifel GMP and Cormark Securities Inc., as co-lead and joint bookrunners, together with Research Capital Corporation.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The securities have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") and may not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States or "U.S. persons" (as such term is defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act) absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act any application state securities laws.
The Prospectus is currently being reviewed by the Alberta Securities Commission and has not yet become final for the purpose of the distribution. There can be no assurance that a receipt for the Company's final short form prospectus will be issued.
Certain directors and officers of the Company participated in the Offering. As a result, the Offering constituted a related-party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Offering was exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the securities issued, nor the consideration provided therefore exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
