Green Organic Dutchman Holdings (TGOD-Cse) Closing Of Previously Announced Marketed Public Offering Of Units
Dec 22, '22 - NR
The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. has closed its previously announced marketed public offering of units of the company. The offering was conducted by Clarus Securities Inc. on a best efforts marketed basis.
Pursuant to the offering, the company issued 12,707,500 units at a price of 40 cents per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,083,000. Each unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the company and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of 50 cents for 60 months following the completion of the offering.
The net proceeds from the offering are expected to be used to repay previously incurred payables, including postmerger integration costs which are expected to yield future cost savings, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The offering was completed pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated Dec. 19, 2022, to the company's short form base shelf prospectus dated Nov. 27, 2020, filed with the securities commissions and other similar regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, except Quebec. Copies of the supplement and the prospectus are available on the company's SEDAR profile.
The company's largest shareholder following the BZAM Holdings Inc. acquisition, who is an insider of the company, participated in the offering and subscribed for an aggregate of 7.5 million units for gross proceeds to the company of $3-million. Accordingly, the offering is considered to be a related party transaction for purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. Pursuant to MI 61-101, the company will file a material change report providing disclosure in relation to each related party transaction on SEDAR under the company's issuer profile on SEDAR. The company did not file the material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing date of the offering as the details of the offering and the participation therein by the related party of the company were not settled until shortly prior to the closing of the offering. The company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements available under MI 61-101. The company is exempt from the formal valuation requirement in Section 5.4 of MI 61-101 in reliance on Section 5.5(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, is not more than the 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization. Additionally, the company is exempt from minority shareholder approval requirement in Section 5.6 of MI 61-101 in reliance on Section 5.7(1)(a) as the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, is not more than the 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization.
