VANCOUVER, B.C., Feb. 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Volero Brands Inc. (“Volero” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with Mackie Research Capital Corporation (the “Agent”) who has agreed to sell, on a “best efforts” private placement basis, up to 10,000,000 Class A common shares in the capital of the Company (“Common Shares”) at a price of $0.50 per Common Share for gross proceeds of up to $5,000,000 (the “Offering”).

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Agent has been granted an option (the “Agent’s Option”) exercisable in whole or in part at any time up to the closing of the Offering to increase the size of the Offering by up to 15% of the number of Common Shares offered pursuant to the Offering by giving written notice of the exercise of the Agent’s Option, or a part thereof, to the Company at any time up to 48 hours prior to closing of the Offering.

“It seems like every day, a new opportunity jumps in front of us,” says Volero CEO Sean Trustham. “Even before the Canadian regulations are effective for concentrates and edibles, we have licensed the Flyte brand in Nevada and are in discussions with potential partners in other US states. This is giving us a very nice head start. We have been at the right places at the right times with the right people – it’s ALL about being prepared to jump on opportunities as they appear. Tomorrow is too late.”

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering for construction of the Company’s facility in Alberta, working capital and general corporate purposes. The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about the week of February 28, 2019.

The Offering will take place by way of a brokered private placement to “accredited investors” (as defined in National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions) in all of the provinces of Canada (except Quebec), and otherwise in those jurisdictions where the Offering can lawfully be made, including the U.S. under applicable private placement exemptions.
