TORONTO, June 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cluny Capital Corp. (the “Company”) (TSXV:CLN.H), a capital pool company pursuant to Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”), is pleased to announce it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement. The Company raised gross proceeds of $300,000 through the issuance of 6,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.05 per share. All shares issued pursuant to the financing are subject to a four-month hold period. The financing is subject to final approval by the TSXV. The net proceeds will be used by the Company for working capital and the identification and evaluation of a Qualifying Transaction (as such term is defined by the TSXV). In connection with the private placement the Company paid finder’s fees of an aggregate of $16,400.
Including the issuance of shares detailed in this news release, there are now currently 9,233,700 common shares of the Company issued and outstanding.
The common shares of the Company will commence trading on the TSXV at the open of trading on June 11, 2018.
The Company received subscriptions from its four new officers and directors for an aggregate amount of $25,000 for 500,000 common shares. The subscriptions by the new officers and directors result in "related party transactions" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”). The transactions are exempt from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 as none of the securities of the Company are listed on a prescribed stock exchange. The transactions are exempt from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 based on the financial hardship exemption.
In accordance with Policy 2.4, 1,300,000 common shares acquired by Non-Arm’s Length Parties (as such term is defined by the TSXV) have been placed in escrow pursuant to a TSXV Form 2F Escrow Agreement.
The Company also announces the completion of two securities for debt transactions with two arm’s length service providers. Pursuant to the transactions the Company issued an aggregate of $56,500 of unsecured convertible debentures in satisfaction of $56,500 of indebtedness. The convertible debentures, which mature on June 6, 2019 and accrue interest at 6% per annum, are automatically convertible into an aggregate of 941,666 common shares of the Company at a deemed price of $0.06 per share concurrent with the closing of a Qualifying Transaction. The Company determined to satisfy the indebtedness with convertible debentures in order to preserve its cash for use on working capital and the identification and evaluation of a Qualifying Transaction. The convertible debentures issued in satisfaction of the indebtedness are subject to a four month hold period from the date of issuance.
The Company also announces the grant of 450,000 stock options to the new management of the Company at an exercise price of $0.06 per common share expiring on June 6, 2028. Pursuant to approval of the TSXV, the directors of the Company have amended the stock option plan of the Company to remove the cap on the number of common shares to be reserved under the option plan from 10% of the number of common shares issued and outstanding at the time of the Company’s initial listing on the TSXV to 10% of the number of common shares of the Company issued and outstanding at the time of the grant.
