Edmonton, Alberta – TheNewswire - August 29, 2024 – Visionstate Corp. (TSXV: VIS) (“Visionstate” or the “Company”), a leading provider of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, today announced a non-brokered private placement of up to $600,000. The financing will consist of one unit at $0.025 (two and a half cents) per unit (“Unit”) which is comprised of one (1) common share {“Share”} and one (1) whole warrant (“Warrant”) which is exercisable at $0.05 (five cents) per Warrant to receive one (1) Share for a term of 5 years after closing, subject to an acceleration clause as noted below.
The price per Unit is based on the previous closing price of the Company's Shares on the TSXV on Wednesday, August 28, 2024. The Company intends to issue up to 24 million Shares and correspondingly up to 24 million Warrants for this Unit financing round which is subject to TSXV and regulatory approval, and customary closing conditions.
In the event of acceleration, the expiry date of the Warrant will be accelerated to a date that is thirty (30) days after the date that written notice has been given to the Warrant holder or the date that Visionstate has issued a press release announcing the exercise of the acceleration right; and thereafter, no further notification will be provided nor required by Visionstate to the subscribers of the Units. The securities issued under this placement are subject to a four-month plus one day hold period from the date of closing.
“As Visionstate continues to grow and innovate, we remain committed to prudent financial management,” said Company CEO John Putters. “Our recent capital raise represents a strategic milestone, positioning us for success as we continue to develop our technology and market it worldwide.”
“Our recent financing round not only strengthens our financial position but also accommodates shareholders who were unable to participate in the fully subscribed previous round. We’re committed to inclusivity and appreciate the continued support from our investor community,” he added.
Proceeds from the placement will be primarily allocated towards the development and commercialization of new products designed to enhance the Company's IoT solutions and expand its market reach. This includes participating in the ISSA 2024 “Beyond Clean” conference in Las Vegas in November 2024. Visionstate Corp. remains committed to delivering cutting-edge technology solutions that drive operational efficiencies and improve customer experiences across various industries.
The issuance of Units to insiders pursuant to the Placement will constitute a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Placement will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101. In particular, Visionstate has determined that the exemptions set out in paragraphs (a) and (b) in section 5.5 of MI 61-101 are applicable since the aggregate consideration to be paid by the related parties will not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of Visionstate and Visionstate is not listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, but only on the TSX Venture Exchange. In addition, regarding the minority shareholder approval exemptions, the independent directors have determined that the exemptions set out in paragraphs (1)(a) and (b) in section 5.7 of MI 61-101 are applicable in that the aggregate consideration to be paid by the related parties will not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of Visionstate, the distribution of the securities to the related parties will have a fair market value of not more than $2,500,000 and Visionstate is not listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, but only on the TSX Venture Exchange.
