/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES./
TORONTO, Dec. 1, 2021 /CNW/ - Mimi's Rock Corp. (the "Company") is pleased to announce the closing of its $1.5 million non-brokered private placement of subordinated secured debentures (the "Placement").
Placement of Subordinated Secured Debentures
The Company announces today that it has closed its non-brokered private placement of $1.5 million of subordinated secured debentures (the "Debentures") consisting of $10,000 principal amount per Debenture (the "Principal Amount"). The Debentures will mature on November 24, 2023 (the "Maturity Date") and will bear a 10.0% p.a. total cash yield, consisting of an 8.0% p.a., payable quarterly and an annual maintenance fee of 2%, paid annually in advance.
In connection with the Placement, subscribers were granted 3,571 common shares of the Company (each, a "Bonus Share") for each $10,000 of Principal Amount of Debentures or 560,706 Bonus Shares in the aggregate.
Proceeds of the Placement are expected to be used by the Company for working capital and general corporate purposes.
In connection with the Placement, the Company paid a cash commission equal to up to 5% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Debentures (the "Cash Fee") sold pursuant to the Placement (other than in respect of proceeds from sales to persons on a "president's list", in respect of which no fee was paid), or $66,000 in the aggregate, and such number of non-transferrable compensation warrants (the "Compensation Warrants") as is equal to 5% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Debentures sold pursuant to the Placement (other than in respect of proceeds from sales to persons on a "president's list", in respect of which no fee was paid) divided by $0.28, or 66,000 Compensation Warrants in the aggregate. Each Compensation Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company at $0.50 per share until November 24, 2022.
The securities issued in connection with the Placement are subject to a statutory hold period of four months from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities legislation.
In connection with the Placement, the Company issued an aggregate $150,000 principal amount of Debentures and 53,571 Common Shares to affiliates of Hueniken Asset Management Inc. ("Hueniken"). The issuance of such securities to Hueniken, an insider of the Company (as defined under applicable securities laws), constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Policy 5.9 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on the exemption from the formal valuation requirement in section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 (as a result of its Common Shares being listed on the TSXV) and the exemption from the minority approval requirement in section 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101 (as neither the fair market value of the securities distributed to Hueniken pursuant to the Placement, nor the consideration paid by Hueniken exceeded $2,500,000).
