GUELPH, Ontario, April 16, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Current Water Technologies Inc. (TSX-V:WATR) (“CWTI” or the “Company”) announces that, subject to regulatory approval and formal documentation, the Company is extending the close of the non-brokered, private placement financing (“Private Placement”) previously announced on March 6th and 11th, 2020 for gross proceeds of up to $500,000. The Private Placement will be for up to 25,000,000 Units at a price of $0.02 per unit. Each Unit will be comprised of one Common Share in the capital stock of the Company and a one Share Purchase Warrant (“Warrant”). One Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.05 per Share, which is exercisable for a period of five (5) years from the date of closing.
The proceeds of this Private Placement will be used for current equipment sales activities and current general working capital purposes. None of the proceeds of the Private Placement will be payable to non-arm’s length parties, except for general corporate purposes in the ordinary course of business.
The Private Placement is available to all shareholders of the Company as at March 10, 2020 (the “Record Date”) and are still shareholders and are eligible to participate under the “Existing Shareholder Exemption”. Any person who becomes a shareholder of the Company after the Record Date is not permitted to participate in the Private Placement using the Existing Shareholder Exemption, but other exemptions may still be available to them. Shareholders who become shareholders after the record date should consult their professional advisors when completing their subscription to ensure that they use the correct exemption.
There are conditions and restrictions when relying upon the Existing Shareholder Exemption, namely, the subscriber must: a) be a shareholder of the Company on the Record Date (and still are a shareholder); b) be purchasing the Units as a principal, i.e. for their own account and not for any other party; and, c) may not purchase more than $15,000 value of securities from the Company in any twelve month period. There is one exception to the $15,000 subscription limit. In the event that a subscriber wishes to purchase more than $15,000 value of securities, then it may do so provided it has first received 'suitability advice' from a registered investment dealer and, in this case, subscribers may be asked to confirm the registered investment dealer's identity and employer.
If the Offering is over-subscribed, it is possible that a shareholder's subscription may not be accepted by the Company even though it is received. Additionally, in the event of an imbalance of large subscriptions compared to smaller subscriptions management of the Company reserves the right in its discretion to reduce large subscriptions in favour of smaller subscriptions.
The Private Placement is being made pursuant to the grant of a ‘discretionary waiver’ of the TSX Venture Exchange minimum $0.05 pricing requirement and is subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a four month and one day hold period, in accordance with applicable securities laws. The Private Placement is expected to close on or before May 13th, 2020.
Any existing shareholders interested in participating in the Private Placement should contact the Company at info@currentwatertechnologies.com. Potential investors should indicate the amount of their intended investment as well as the email address at which the Company should contact them to provide further details regarding the Private Placement and relevant transaction documentation.
In order to participate in the Private Placement, existing shareholders must notify the Company no later than 10:00am Eastern time on April 27th, 2020.
