TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - July 12, 2016) - Nutritional High International Inc. (the
"Company" or "Nutritional High") (CSE:EAT)(OTCQB:SPLIF)(FRANKFURT:2NU) announced a
non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of up to 14,285,714 units ("Units") at
a price of $0.035 per Unit to raise $500,000.
Each Unit will consist of one common share ("Common Share") of the Company and one-half of one Common Share
purchase warrant ("Warrant"). The term of the Warrants will be subject to an acceleration right at the option of
the Company, in the event that the Common Shares trade at or above $0.15 per Common Share for a full 30 consecutive trading days
following the date which is four months and one day from the Closing Date, and the Company has provided Warrant holders with 30
days prior written notice of the accelerated Warrant exercise date.
All securities issued in connection with this Private Placement will be subject to a four month hold period from the date of
issuance in accordance with applicable securities laws. The closing of the Private Placement is subject to receipt of approvals
of the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") and other applicable securities regulatory authorities.
Should the Company complete a minimum raise of $500,000 under the Private Placement, the Company will use the proceeds to
advance additional loans to Palo Verde LLC of $200,000, financing expenses of $40,000, purchase the equipment for $160,000 and
general and administrative expenses (including the consulting fees) of $100,000.
The Offering shall first be offered to Existing Shareholders of the Company, and then to other investor that qualify as
Accredited Investors under applicable securities legislation. If the total amount of gross proceeds raised is below
$500,000, several insiders of the Company and current shareholder have committed to purchase at least $200,000 of the Private
Placement.
Nutritional High sought and was granted relief from the CSE's minimum price rule.
Existing Security Holder Exemption
The Private Placement is being made available to existing shareholders of the Company ("Existing Security
Holders") who qualify under the "existing security holder prospectus exemption" available in certain jurisdictions in
Canada (the "Existing Security Holder Exemption") and to accredited investors.
As the Existing Security Holder Exemption contains certain restrictions and is only available in certain jurisdictions in
Canada, others that do not qualify under the Existing Security Holder Exemption may qualify to participate under other prospectus
exemptions.
Terms and Restrictions Relating to the Existing Security Holder Exemption
The criteria of the Existing Security Holder Exemption are set out in various regulatory instruments of the participating
jurisdictions in Canada. To comply with the criteria of the Existing Security Holder Exemption, the offering to Existing Security
Holders shall be subject to, among other criteria, the following:
- July 8, 2016 has been set as the record date (the "Record Date") for the purpose of determining existing
security holders entitled to purchase Units pursuant to the Existing Shareholder Exemption.
- To participate, a qualified shareholder must deliver (a) an executed subscription agreement in the required form, which
will include requirements of the Existing Security Holder Exemption (e.g., that the subscriber was as of the Record Date and
continues to be as of the date of closing, a shareholder of the Company) and (b) pay the subscription amount by July 26, 2016,
or such other date as the Company may designate. Contact information to obtain the subscription form is set out below.
- The aggregate acquisition cost to a subscriber under the Existing Security Holder Exemption cannot exceed $15,000 per
twelve month period unless that subscriber has obtained advice from a registered investment dealer regarding the suitability of
the investment.
- A maximum of 14,285,714 Units will be offered to shareholders as of the Record Date under the Existing Security Holder
Exemption and accredited investor exemption, which, assuming all Warrants underlying the Units are exercised, amounts to
21,428,571 Common Shares, being less than 100% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, the maximum permitted to be issued
under the Existing Security Holder Exemption.
- Subscriptions will be accepted by the Company on a 'first come, first served' basis. Therefore, if the Private Placement is
over-subscribed it is possible that a shareholder's subscription may not be accepted by the Company. Additionally, in the event
of an imbalance of large subscriptions compared to smaller subscriptions, management reserves the right in its discretion to
reduce large subscriptions in favour of smaller shareholder subscriptions.
- In accordance with the Existing Security Holder Exemption, the Company confirms there is no material fact or material
change related to the Company that has not been generally disclosed and that the Company's "core documents" and "documents" as
defined under applicable securities laws do not contain a misrepresentation.
Further terms and conditions shall be set out in the form of subscription agreement that will be made available to interested
shareholders, who are directed to contact the Company as follows:
Insider Participation
Insiders of the Company are expected to participate in the Private Placement (the "Insider Participation"),
which will be considered a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI
61-101"). The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval
requirements of MI 61-101 contained in Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of any Insider Participation.
