TORONTO, Nov. 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ARHT Media Inc. (the “Company” or “ARHT”) (TSX-V:ART), the global leader in holographic telepresence, is pleased to announce it has increased the size of its previously announced private placement financing from $2 million to $2.8 million. The Company will now issue up to 31,111,111 million units of the Company at a purchase price of $0.09 per unit.
The Company also announces that it has closed the first tranche (the “First Tranche”) of the previously announced non-brokered private placement of units (the “Units”). The Company issued 11,111,111 Units at a price of $0.09 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,000,000.
Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a “Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Share at a price of $0.13 for a period of 36 months following the closing date of the First Tranche. The Company has amended the terms of the Warrants such that the Company will no longer have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants.
The net proceeds from the First Tranche will be used for general working capital purposes and to acquire equipment related to the business.
The First Tranche is subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities issued pursuant to the First Tranche will be subject to a four month and one day statutory hold period expiring on March 27, 2019. No finder warrants or finder fees were paid in connection with the closing of the First Tranche.
Certain insiders of the Company have subscribed for Units pursuant to the First Tranche (the “Insider Participation”). The Insider Participation will be considered to be a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”). The Insider Participation is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101.
