VANCOUVER, BC, July 15, 2020 /CNW/ - Last Mile Holdings Ltd. ("MILE" or the "Company") (TSXV: MILE) (OTC: AZNVF), a leading micro-mobility company with the broadest product suite in the industry, intends to complete a non-brokered private placement financing (the ''Offering'') for gross proceeds of up to C$9,000,000, comprised of common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares"), subject to all required regulatory approvals, at a price per Common Share of C$0.075 (the "Issue Price").
Chairman and significant shareholder Louis Lucido will be participating and has indirectly committed USD$1.0 million in connection with the Offering.
The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for general working capital purposes as well as to purchase approximately 4,000 new vehicles, which will be deployed to meet contractual agreements with 10 municipalities and universities for shared mobility systems.
"After our record to start the year with industry-leading unit economics across our install base, we are proactively looking to build on our momentum," said MILE CEO Max Smith. "This financing enables us to effectively double our outstanding vehicles for deployment from 4,000 to 8,000, fueling the increased demand we're seeing in many of our markets. Importantly, these new deployments will fulfill existing contracts, providing us with a clear expansion plan. We are committed to growing responsibly, and the funds provided through this transaction should enable us to reach EBITDA profitability in the foreseeable future."
All of the securities issued pursuant to the private placement will be subject to a hold period of four months plus a day from the date of issuance. Completion of the Offering is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. In connection with the private placement, the Company may pay finder's fees of up to 7% cash/shares and 7% finder's warrants to eligible persons.
