Not for distribution to U.S. Newswire Services or for dissemination in the United States.
LONDON, Ontario, Sept. 25, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- INDIVA Corporation (“ INDIVA ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with PI Financial Corp. (the " Agent ") pursuant to which the Agent was appointed as the sole lead agent with respect to the proposed offering of 10% senior convertible debentures (the “ Convertible Debentures ”) of the Company at a price of Cdn.$1,000 per Convertible Debenture for aggregate gross proceeds of up to Cdn.$7,500,000, or such other amount as mutually agreed upon between the Company and the Agent, pursuant to a brokered private placement to be completed on a commercial best-efforts agency basis (the “ Offering ”). The aggregate gross proceeds raised pursuant to the Offering will be no less in value than the aggregate gross proceeds raised by the Company or Rainmaker Resources Ltd. (“ Rainmaker ”) (TSX-V: RIR ) pursuant to the concurrent equity private placement offering previously announced by the Company on June 1, 2017 (the “ Concurrent Offering ”).
Pursuant to closing the first tranche of the Concurrent Offering (the “ First Tranche ”), which occurred on August 28, 2017, Rainmaker raised aggregate gross proceeds of $5,755,956.75 by issuing 7,674,609 units (“ Units ”) at a price of $0.75 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one subscription receipt (“ Subscription Receipt ”) and one half of one common share purchase warrant. Subsequent closings of the Concurrent Offering are planned for Q3 and/or Q4 of 2017. Closing of the Offering will occur in tranches with the first tranche closing expected to occur on or around October 6, 2017.
Gross proceeds of the Offering will be held in escrow pending the Company’s reverse takeover and change of business transaction with Rainmaker (the “ RTO Transaction ”). Subject to the fulfillment of the remaining closing conditions, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, the parties anticipate completing the RTO Transaction on or around November 30, 2017. If, however, the RTO Transaction is not completed within 9 months of the closing of the Offering the escrowed funds will be returned to Convertible Debenture purchaser(s) and the transaction will not close.
Gross proceeds of the Concurrent Offering will be held in escrow pending the satisfaction of certain conditions (“ Escrow Release Conditions ”) set out in a subscription receipt agreement entered into among Rainmaker, Indiva and Computershare Trust Company of Canada. Upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, each Subscription Receipt will automatically convert without any payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof into one common share in the capital of the issuer resulting from the amalgamation of Indiva and Rainmaker, such amalgamation to follow the consolidation of Rainmaker’s outstanding common shares on a 10.88:1 basis and the split of the Company’s outstanding common shares on a 1:4,000 basis.
“We are pleased to be working with PI Financial on this convertible debenture offering and we see this financing as just the beginning of a longer mutually beneficial relationship with PI,” said Niel Marotta, CEO of INDIVA.
