SponsorsOne Announces CA$3 Million Financing

C.SPO

(TheNewswire)

Waterloo, Ontario / TheNewswire / May 1 7 , 2018 - SponsorsOne Inc. (CSE: SPO) (Frankfurt: 5SO) (the “Company”, or “SponsorsOne”) is pleased to announce it has entered into an engagement letter with Emerging Equities Inc. (the “Agent”) to act as agent, on a reasonable best-efforts basis, in connection with a proposed financing (the “Offering”) to be conducted by way of short form prospectus of up to 16,666,667 units (“Units”) of the Company at a price of $0.18 per Unit (the "Offering Price") for gross proceeds of CA$3 million.  Each Unit shall be comprised of one common share (“Common Share”) and one half of a common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, being a “Warrant”).  The Company has also granted the Agent an option (the “Agent’s Option”) to increase the size of the Offering by up to an additional 5,555,556 Units at $0.18 per Unit which Agent's Option is exercisable at any time up to 48 hours prior to the closing of the Offering.

Each Warrant will be exercisable into one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.30 per Common Share for a period of twelve (12) months following the Private Placement Closing Date (as defined below), provided that if the closing price at which the Common Shares trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) (or any such other stock exchange in Canada as the Common Shares may trade at the applicable time) exceed $0.55 for five (5) consecutive trading days at any time following the date that is four (4) months and one (1) day after the closing date of the Offering, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants (the “Reduced Warrant Term”) to the date that is twenty-one (21) calendar days following the date a press release is issued by the Company announcing the Reduced Warrant Term.

The Company also announces it has completed a private placement ("Private Placement") of 1,568,440 special warrants (“Special Warrants”) of the Company at $0.18 per special warrant for gross proceeds of $282,319 which form part of the Offering.  Each Special Warrant entitles the holder, for no additional consideration, to receive 1 Unit (the “Underlying Securities”) on the earlier of: (i) the date that is 120 days following the closing date of the Private Placement (the “Private Placement Closing Date”); and (ii) the date the Company obtains a receipt for a final short form prospectus qualifying the distribution of the securities comprising the Units (the “Qualification Condition”).  The Company will use its best efforts to satisfy the Qualification Condition on or before the date that is 60 days following the Private Placement Closing Date (the “Qualification Deadline”). If the Qualification Condition does not occur before the Qualification Deadline, each holder of a Special Warrant shall be entitled to receive, without any action on their part, to 0.1 of a Common Share in addition to the Underlying Securities. The issuance of Units on conversion of the Special Warrants will be qualified under the Prospectus. Unless the Qualification Condition occurs, securities issued in connection with the Private Placement will be subject to a 4-month hold period from the Private Placement Closing Date.

The Units will be offered by way of a short form prospectus (the “Prospectus”) to be filed in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario and in any other provinces as the Agent and the Company may agree.  The Prospectus will also qualify the Underlying Securities for distribution.

The Agent will receive a cash commission equal to 10% of aggregate gross proceeds raised from the Offering (including the Private Placement) as well as compensation options (the “Compensation Options”) equal to 10% of the number of Units and Special Warrants sold, including any amount subscribed for pursuant to the exercise of the Agent’s Option. The Compensation Options shall be exercisable into Units at a price of $0.18 per Unit at any time up to 24 months following the closing date of the Offering.  As a result of the Offering, Mr. Myles Bartholomew has rescinded his National Instrument 45-102 - Notice of Resale of Securities, dated and filed on SEDAR May 9, 2018.

 

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 , as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
