The Company has agreed to grant the Underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 1,101,064 Common Shares at the Offering Price, exercisable in whole or in part at any time for a period ending 30 days from the closing of the Offering. In the event the over-allotment option is exercised in full, the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering will be C,837,502.
The Company will pay the Underwriters a cash fee equal to 6.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for capital expenditures relating to its expansion into the Base Station Antenna market, for working capital and for general corporate purposes.
The Offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s base shelf prospectus dated November 16, 2017 and the terms of the Offering will be described in a prospectus supplement to be filed with securities regulators in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. The Common Shares may also be offered in those jurisdictions outside of Canada which are agreed to by the Company and the Underwriters, where the Common Shares can be issued on a private placement basis, exempt from any prospectus, registration or other similar requirements.
The Offering is expected to close on or about November 28, 2017 and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
