/THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES./
TORONTO, July 7, 2021 /CNW/ - Stack Capital Group Inc. ("Stack Capital") (TSX: STCK) (TSX: STCK.WT) announced today that Stack Capital has issued an additional 175,000 common shares (the "Common Shares") and 454,000 Common Share purchase warrants (the "IPO Warrants") of Stack Capital pursuant to the partial exercise of the over-allotment option granted to a syndicate of agents in connection with Stack Capital's recent initial public offering (the "Offering") of units ("Units") of Stack Capital which closed on June 16, 2021. Each IPO Warrant entitles the holder to acquire, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, one Common Share at an exercise price per share of $15.00, at any time prior to 4:00 p.m. (Toronto, Ontario time) on June 16, 2024, the date that is three years following the closing of the Offering.
Pursuant to the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, the agents purchased an additional 175,000 Common Shares at a price of $11.20 per Common Share and an additional 454,000 IPO Warrants at a price of $1.60 per IPO Warrant, for total gross proceeds of $2,686,400. The exercise of the over-allotment option has increased the total gross proceeds of the Offering and the concurrent management investment (the "Management Investment") to $109,706,408.
The Offering was conducted on a best-efforts basis by a syndicate of agents (the "Agents") bookrun by TD Securities Inc., RBC Capital Markets, and Scotiabank pursuant to the terms and conditions of an agency agreement between Stack Capital, SC Partners Ltd., the manager of Stack Capital (the "Manager"), and the Agents.
The Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") agreed to list Stack Capital pursuant to the TSX Sandbox and exercised its discretion to waive the requirements for historical earnings and pre-tax cash flow as Stack Capital did not meet the original listing requirements of the TSX set out in Section 309(a) of the TSX Company Manual. Listing on the TSX was subject to Stack Capital fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the TSX (save for those requirements for which an exemption or waiver was provided through the TSX Sandbox) including, among other things, raising minimum gross proceeds of $100 million under the Offering. Stack Capital will remain listed pursuant to the TSX Sandbox until such time as it has: (i) deployed 50% of the net proceeds raised pursuant to the Offering and the Management Investment; and (ii) publicly filed interim financial statements reflecting a full quarter of operating history subsequent to listing on the TSX. As disclosed under "Risk Factors" in Stack Capital's prospectus dated June 9, 2021 (the "Prospectus"), Stack Capital lacks an operating history and there is a very limited basis upon which a potential investor can evaluate Stack Capital's ability to achieve its stated investment objective. Investors are referred to the risk factors set out in the Prospectus for further details.
