MONTREAL, Feb. 17, 2021 /CNW/ - D-BOX Technologies Inc. ("D-BOX") (TSX: DBO), a world leader in haptic and immersive entertainment, announced today that it has filed a preliminary short form prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada in connection with a marketed offering (the "Offering") of units (the "Units") through a syndicate of underwriters led by Canaccord Genuity Corp., acting as the lead underwriter and sole bookrunner, and including Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. and iA Private Wealth Inc. (the "Underwriters"). Each Unit consists of one Class A common shares of D-BOX and one Class A common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle its holder to purchase one Class A common share of D-BOX for a period of 24 months following closing of the Offering.
The number of Units to be distributed under the Offering, the price per Unit (the "Offering Price"), the exercise price of the Warrants and other final terms of the Offering will be determined by D-BOX and the Underwriters upon the pricing of the Offering, at the time of entering into an underwriting agreement for the Offering. D-BOX will update the market and issue a press release announcing the number of Units to be distributed under the Offering as well as the price per Unit once such terms have been determined.
It is expected that the Underwriters will be granted an option, exercisable at any time up to 30 days following the closing of the Offering, to purchase at the Offering Price up to an additional 15% of the Units sold pursuant to the Offering.
The Offering is expected to close in early March 2021. Completion of the Offering will be subject to certain customary conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The net proceeds from the Offering are expected to be used for growth initiatives, to provide additional working capital and for general corporate purposes.
The Offering is subject to market conditions, and there can be no assurance as to whether or when the Offering may be completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the Offering.
The securities described herein have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
A preliminary short form prospectus containing important information relating to the Units has been filed with securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada. The preliminary short form prospectus is subject to completion or amendment. Copies of the preliminary short form prospectus may be obtained from the Underwriters via email at [email protected].
