/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR OVER UNITED STATES WIRE SERVICES/
CALGARY, May 16, 2018 /CNW/ - Vogogo Inc. (CSE: VGO) ("Vogogo" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a new engagement letter with Canaccord Genuity Corp. ("Canaccord Genuity"), pursuant to which Canaccord Genuity has agreed to act as the lead underwriter and sole bookrunner on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters including Beacon Securities Limited (the "Underwriters"), for the Company's offering (the "Offering") of 30,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $1,000 per Unit (the "Issue Price") for gross proceeds of $30 million.
As previously disclosed, each Unit will be comprised of $1,000 principal amount of senior unsecured extendible non-redeemable convertible debentures ("Convertible Debentures") and 1,000 warrants ("Warrants") of the Company. Accordingly, each Unit will entitle the holder to a conversion rate of 2,000 common shares ("Shares") of the Company at a value of $0.50 per Share and 1,000 Warrants exercisable for 1,000 Shares at a price of $0.70 per Share.
The Company has agreed to grant the Underwriters an option (the "Over-Allotment Option") to sell up to an additional 4,500 Units on the same terms and conditions as the Offering, exercisable any time, in whole or in part, up to 30 days after the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined). If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, the total gross proceeds to Vogogo will be $34.5 million.
In addition, the Company has agreed to apply to list the Convertible Debentures on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE").
The Offering was previously announced by the Company on May 15, 2018 as being made on a fully marketed "best-efforts" agency basis.
All other terms of the Offering remain unchanged from the press release issued by the Company on May 15, 2018.
The Company intends to file an amended and restated short form prospectus in respect of the Offering on or about May 16, 2018. The Offering is expected to close on or about June 5, 2018 (the "Closing Date") and is subject to certain conditions, including but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the CSE.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described herein. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to United States Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
