TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - April 28, 2016) -
Engagement Labs Inc.
(TSX VENTURE: EL) announced today that it intends to complete a financing of approximately $2 million in units on a private placement basis with D&D Securities Inc. and PowerOne Capital Markets Limited as Agents (together, the "Agents").
The company intends to sell approximately 7.5 million Units at $0.27 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one share and one common share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.35 per share for a two year period from closing.
Aggregate compensation payable to the Agents (including any members of the selling group) shall consist of a cash commission equal to up to 8.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering plus that number of brokers' compensation warrants equal in number to up to 8.0% of the number of brokered Units issued, exercisable at $0.27 per Unit for a period of twenty-four months from closing. Use of proceeds is for general working capital. Completion of the private placement is subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange upon filing of customary closing documentation.
It is a condition of closing that a requisite number of holders of outstanding convertible debentures of which approximately $2.9 million are outstanding, approve the extension of the maturity date of the debentures from December 31, 2016 until June 30, 2018 and a reduction of the conversion price from $0.35 to $0.27 per share. Closing is scheduled for May 18, 2016 or such later date that the requisite number of holders of debentures have consented to the amendments in writing, or if not approved in writing, immediately following a meeting of debenture holders called to approve such amendments scheduled to be held at the end of May 2016.
