Intermap Technologies Closes $2 Million Private Placement to Recapitalize and Fund Growth
/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/
DENVER,, Nov. 4, 2020 /CNW/ - Intermap Technologies Corporation ("Intermap" or the "Company") today announced that it has closed the first tranche of an issuer private placement (the "Private Placement") of 1,648,874 Class A common shares ("Shares"). The Shares were issued at a price of CAD$1.03 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of CAD$1,698,340. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes and to fund its growth.
The Company is pleased to report progress recapitalizing while safeguarding approximately US$188 million of valuable net operating losses, net of approximately US$33 million that resulted from the previously announced gain on the settlement of notes payable. Under Section 382 of the US Internal Revenue Code ("IRC 382"), the Company's US tax attributes may be limited if there is a deemed ownership shift of greater than 50% of the issuer during the prior three-year period. A deemed ownership change would limit the Company's ability to utilize its tax attributes to increase future cash flow. As a result of this private placement, the total ownership shift for the prior three years, immediately following the private placement, will be approximately 45%, well within the IRC 382 allowances. The Board and management will remain diligent in maximizing these tax assets as they consider alternative capital strategies to accelerate the Company's growth and strategic opportunities.
"We are pleased to provide for the Company's growth in a simple common share offering that continues to expand our base of informed, long-term shareholders," said Patrick A. Blott, Intermap Chairman and CEO. "With a stronger balance sheet, Intermap is poised to take advantage of opportunities that accelerate its business plan. At the same time, we are executing capital transactions that are accretive and tax efficient, while providing for greater future liquidity in our common stock."
All Shares issued under the Private Placement are subject to a four-month hold period, during which trading in the securities is restricted in accordance with applicable securities laws. The Private Placement and the listing of the Shares issued under the Private Placement on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") are subject to final approval of the TSX upon satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The TSX has conditionally approved the Private Placement and the listing of the Shares issued thereunder.
