Engagement Labs Inc. Closes Oversubscribed $2.7 Million Prospectus Offering Led by Gravitas Securities Inc.
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.
MONTREAL, May 30, 2019 /CNW/ -- Engagement Labs Inc. (TSXV: EL) (the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced "best efforts" short form prospectus offering (the "Offering"). In connection with the Offering, the Company issued 45,041,334 units of the Company (the "Units") including 5,874,668 Units issued upon the exercise of the over-allotment option granted to Gravitas Securities Inc., the agent for the Offering. The Units were sold at a price of $0.06 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2,702,480.
Each Unit is comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company, one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each such whole common share purchase warrant, a "10 Cent Warrant") and a second one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each such whole common share purchase warrant, a "12 Cent Warrant"). Each 10 Cent Warrant is exercisable to purchase one common share in the capital of the Company (a "10 Cent Warrant Share") at a price of $0.10 per 10 Cent Warrant Share until November 30, 2019. Each 12 Cent Warrant is exercisable to purchase one common share in the capital of the Company (a "12 Cent Warrant Share") at a price of $0.12 per 12 Cent Warrant Share until May 30, 2021.
The closing of the offering complements the Company's previously announced debt-restructuring approved by debentureholders on May 22, 2019 which will see the elimination of $5.8 million in debt converted into common shares, of which $4.2 million will be converted at $0.11 per share and $1.6 million converted at $0.06 per share. The elimination of substantially all outstanding debt and the addition of working capital are positive steps for the Company as its TotalSocial platform continues to gain recognition with leading brands and media companies.
The net proceeds from the offering are expected to be used primarily for working capital and for marketing the Company's TotalSocial analytics platform. For additional details regarding the use of proceeds of the offering, please see the Company's final short form prospectus dated May 23, 2019, which is available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
