(“Xineoh” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed a non-brokered private placement equity financing for aggregate gross proceeds of US$1.018 million (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the terms of the Offering, the Company has issued 6,784,518 units (each a “Unit”) at a price of US$0.15 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share for a period of 36 months at an exercise price equal to US$0.30.
Xineoh has developed a platform for predicting consumer behavior with AI which can be implemented by clients, quickly, cheaply and with minimum complexity. Companies can use Xineoh’s platform to out-predict their competition, thereby maximizing business efficiency, margins and customer satisfaction. Specifically, the platform allows for matching people with products, matching inventory with business opportunities, matching prices with spending propensity and matching people with usage patterns. Xineoh has proven that the AI works in several different sectors, and, its test results demonstrate that it is significantly outperforming the competition.
Xineoh's offering is well received by large multinational companies and has a strong pipeline of future sales. Several customers are in the process of doing a paid proof of concept with Xineoh.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to continue to develop and commercialize its market-leading AI platform. All securities issued in the Offering are subject to a statutory four-month hold period expiring on April 15, 2019.
Related Party Disclosure
Vian Chinner, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, acquired 266,666 Units, and King & Bay West Management Corp., a related party of the Company, acquired 194,520 Units, pursuant to the Offering for gross proceeds of US$39,999.90 and US$29,178.00, respectively. As a result, their participation is considered a “related party transaction” under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”). Their participation in the Offering is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under MI 61-101 in reliance on the exemptions set forth in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 based on the fact that neither the fair market value of the securities to be distributed in the Offering nor the consideration to be received, insofar as it relates to the related parties, exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report related to this financing more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Offering as required by MI 61-101 since the details of the participation by the related parties of the Company were not settled until shortly prior to the closing of the Offering and the Company wished to close on an expedited basis for sound business reasons. The Units that will be acquired by the related parties will be acquired pursuant to an exemption from the prospectus requirement in British Columbia Instrument 72-503 and section 2.3 of National Instrument 45-106.
