NOT FOR RELEASE OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
TORONTO, Aug. 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ARHT Media Inc. (the “Company” or “ARHT”) (TSX-V:ART), a global leader in holographic telepresence, is pleased to announce it has closed the first tranche (the “First Tranche”) of the previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) of units (the “Units”). The Company issued 14,934,076 Units as part of the First Tranche at a price of $0.13 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,941,429.88.
Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will be exercisable to purchase one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.18 per share for a period of three years following the closing of the Offering. If at any time after four months and one day from the closing of the First Tranche, the common shares of the Company trade at a price of $0.50 per common share or higher (on a volume weighted adjusted basis) for a period of six consecutive weeks, the Company will have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to the date that is 30 days after the Company issues a news release announcing that it has elected to exercise this acceleration right.
The proceeds from the First Tranche of the Offering will be used for general and working capital purposes as well as for the retirement of the Company’s outstanding debentures in the amount of $800,000.
The First Tranche of the Offering is subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four month and one day statutory hold period expiring on December 23, 2019.
Certain insiders of the Company have subscribed for Units pursuant to the First Tranche of the Offering (the “Insider Participation”). The Insider Participation will be considered to be a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”). The Insider Participation is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101.
