(“EverGen” or the “Company”) announces that it has filed, and obtained a receipt for, a second amended and restated preliminary long-form prospectus dated July 9, 2021 (the “Second Amended Preliminary Prospectus”) with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada, amending and restating its amended and restated preliminary prospectus dated May 5, 2021. The Second Amended Preliminary Prospectus has been filed in connection with the proposed initial public offering of 3,080,000 units (the “Offered Units”) at a price of $6.50 per Offered Unit (the “Offering Price”) for gross proceeds of $20,020,000 (the “Offering”). The Company has also granted the Underwriters (as defined below) with an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 462,000 Offered Units at the Offering Price, exercisable in whole or in part, at any time on or prior to the date that is 30 days following the closing of the Offering. If the over-allotment option is exercised in full, additional gross proceeds of $3,003,000 will be raised.
Each Offered Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (a “Unit Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each full warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $10.50 for a period of 24 months from the Closing Date.
The Offering will be conducted by a syndicate of underwriters led by Desjardins Capital Markets, Clarus Securities Inc., Echelon Wealth Partners and RBC Capital Markets acting as co-lead underwriters and joint bookrunners (the “Co-Lead Underwriters”) for the Offering, together with Haywood Securities and PI Financial (collectively with the Co-Lead Underwriters, the “Underwriters”).
The Second Amended Preliminary Prospectus which contains important information relating to the Offering has been filed with the securities commissions or similar authorities in the provinces of Canada and has not yet become final for purposes of a distribution of securities to the public. No securities regulatory authority has either approved or disapproved the contents of this news release. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale or any acceptance of an offer to buy these securities in any offering jurisdiction in Canada.

Accordingly, the securities may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons (as such term is defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act), unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
