VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 19, 2020 /CNW/ - Last Mile Holdings Ltd. ("MILE" or the "Company") (TSXV: MILE) (OTC: AZNVF), a leading micro-mobility company with the broadest product suite in the industry, today announced the closing of the first tranche ("First Tranche") of its previously announced private placement of up to $7,000,000. To meet increased demand for the Offering (the "Offering"), the Company is increasing the Offering by an additional 10,818,380 Units at $0.075 per unit, bringing the total potential gross proceeds to $7,811,378, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.

The First Tranche consisted of a total of 33,228,334 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.075 per Unit for gross proceeds raised of $2,492,125.  Each unit consists of one limited voting share and one share purchase warrant, with each warrant exercisable for a period of two years at $0.11 per share, subject to acceleration at the option of the Company if closing price of the limited voting shares of the Company is at or above C$0.20 per share for ten consecutive trading days.  In connection with the First Tranche, the Company paid $92,163.76 and 1,228,850 broker warrants to certain finders. The broker warrants are exercisable for a period of two years at $0.075 per share.  All shares and warrants issued are subject to a four-month hold period, expiring December 20, 2020.

Insiders of the Company, including MILE chairman and significant shareholder Louis Lucido are participating for $1,650,000 to be included in the second tranche.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for general working capital purposes as well as to purchase approximately 4,000 new e-bikes and scooters, which will be deployed to meet contractual agreements with 10 municipalities and universities for shared mobility systems.

"The successful close of this offering will allow us to continue in our clearly-defined path for growth and future EBITDA profitability," said MILE CEO Max Smith. "We are looking forward to closing our second tranche shortly and moving full speed ahead to execute our strategy of long-term contracts with city and university partners."

The final closing of the Offering of up to an additional of $5,319,253 million (the "Final Tranche") is anticipated to be no later than August 24, 2020. Closing of the Final Tranche is subject to certain conditions typical for a transaction of this nature and the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Exchange.
