TORONTO, Oct. 25, 2018 /CNW/ - 3 Sixty Secure Corp. ("3Sixty" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed a private placement (the "Offering") of subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") for gross proceeds of approximately $17.5 million. A total of 20,590,000 Subscription Receipts were sold at a price of $0.85 per Subscription Receipt. Each Subscription Receipt will automatically convert to one common share of the amalgamated company ("Amalco") to be formed upon the completion of the Company's previously announced amalgamation (the "PrivateCo Amalgamation") with Total Cannabis Security Solutions Inc. ("TCSS"), upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the completion of the previously announced reverse take-over of Petro Vista Energy Corp. by Amalco (the "RTO Transaction") and acceptance for listing of the common shares of the resulting issuer (the "Resulting Issuer") under the RTO Transaction on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE"). The Amalco shares will then be automatically and immediately exchanged for common shares of the Resulting Issuer without any further action on the part of the holders of Amalco shares.
Canaccord Genuity Corp. acted as lead agent for the Offering, with a syndicate of agents including Cormark Securities Inc., Mackie Research Capital Corp. and PI Financial Corp. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for strategic growth initiatives, working capital and general corporate purposes.
