TORONTO, May 8, 2015 /CNW/ - AcuityAds Holdings Inc. ("AcuityAds", or the "Company") (TSX-V:AT), is pleased to announce the terms of its previously announced short form prospectus offering (the "Offering") of common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Offered Shares"). The Offering is being co-led by Paradigm Capital Inc. and Beacon Securities Limited (together, the "Agents").
The Offering will be priced at $0.70 per Offered Shares (the "Offering Price") as agreed upon by the Company and the Agents for minimum gross proceeds of $3,000,000 and maximum gross proceeds of $3,500,000 representing a minimum of 4,285,714 and a maximum of up to 5,000,000 Offered Shares respectively. In addition, the Company has granted the Agents the option, exercisable in whole or in part, (the "Over-Allotment Option") to arrange for additional purchasers to purchase additional common shares in the capital of the Company in an amount equal to 15% of the Offered Shares sold pursuant to the Offering at the Offering Price for a period of 30 days following closing in order to satisfy over-allotments and for market stabilization purposes. An agency agreement has been executed on these terms between the Company and the Agents.
The net proceeds from the Offering are expected to be used by the Company for general working capital purposes, including for research and development, sales, operations and business development and product marketing.
The Offering is expected to close on or about May 15, 2015 or such other date or dates that AcuityAds and the Agents agree upon.
