Sprylogics Announces Closing of $1.83 Million Financing
TORONTO, Feb. 12, 2015 /CNW/ - Sprylogics International Corp. ("Sprylogics" or the "Company") (TSXV: SPY), a technology provider of local mobile search, semantic search and messaging solutions for consumers and businesses is pleased to announce that it has closed an equity financing and convertible debenture financing totalling $1.83 million.
The funds raised will be an essential catalyst to begin marketing and growing the Breaking Sports app and advance business development initiatives in order to gain traction in the marketplace. The financing includes investment from a strategic entity that will be synergistic to the growth of Breaking Sports.
We are extremely pleased to complete this financing in order to start our marketing plan and reach our growth potential in this massive sports vertical," said Marvin Igelman, CEO of Sprylogics. "We have marketing initiatives that we have been waiting to implement. We are very encouraged by the initial response and engagement of users on our iOS version and excited about the upcoming launch of our Android version."
In early January the Company introduced Breaking Sports for iOS which was highly beneficial in gauging user feedback, ease of functionality and usage metrics, prior to any marketing activity. The initial feedback by users and industry has been tremendous and daily user engagement has been very high.
Users not only love the app and its ability to deliver fast and breaking news generated from social media feeds, but are spending considerable time on it each day, checking the latest notifications, news, scores, rumours, injuries and more. Users can gain additional utility from following a game, which provides them with a real-time flow of in-game statistics and "play-by-play" and well and crucial lineup changes prior to games which are beneficial to fantasy sports players and sports enthusiasts alike.
The Company is readying to launch its Android version of Breaking Sports app shortly, as well as an upgrade of its iOS version, both prior to the beginning of its multi-faceted marketing strategy.
Marketing initiatives for the Breaking Sports app in the coming days will include, as previously announced, an extensive Radio package with Fox Sports Radio. As part of the agreement, Breaking Sports will be integrated within FOX Sports Radio's leading lineup of 24/7 programming, which reaches nearly five million weekly listeners on more than 400 radio stations nationwide. Throughout the day "Trending Now" sports updates presented by Breaking Sports will be delivered during popular programs including The Dan Patrick Show, The Rich Eisen Show, Jay Mohr Sports, Steve Gorman Sports! and J.T. The Brick, keeping sports listeners up to date on the latest news and information.
Pursuant to the announced financing, the Company issued 3,801,714 units at an issue price of $0.35 per unit for gross proceeds of $1,330,600. Each unit is comprised of one common share of the Company and one common share warrant, with each warrant exercisable into a common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.45 per share for a period of 24 months.
The Company also issued a principal amount $500,000 convertible debenture which will be convertible into common shares of the Company at conversion price of $0.38 per share until maturity. The convertible debenture will mature in 24 months and will carry no interest charge. The holder of the convertible debenture also received 1,315,789 warrants, with each warrant exercisable into a common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.50 per share for a period of 24 months.
The Company also proposes to issue 428,571 common shares to settle an aggregate of $150,000 in outstanding debt. The completion of the debt settlement remains subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
All shares issued in connection with the equity and convertible debt financings and the debt settlement will be subject to a hold period of four months and a day from the date of issuance.
