/THIS NEWS RELEASE IS INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION IN CANADA ONLY AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES./
VANCOUVER, BC, June 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Wildpack Beverage Inc. (TSXV: CANS) ("Wildpack" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced bought deal offering of 20,000 debenture units (the "Debenture Units") of the Company which includes the full exercise of the over-allotment option (the "Offering"). The Offering was led by Stifel GMP as sole bookrunner and lead underwriter.
Each Debenture Unit consists of (i) one 8% senior unsecured convertible debenture having a face value of $1,000, which is convertible into common shares of the Company (each a "Common Share") at a conversion price of $1.51 per Common Share (the "Conversion Price") and matures four years from the Closing Date (as defined below) (the "Convertible Debentures"); and (ii) 332 common share purchase warrants of the Company (the "Warrants" and, together with the Convertible Debentures, the "UnderlyingSecurities"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at $1.81 per share for a period of two years following June 30, 2021 (the "Closing Date").
At any time and from time to time following the expiry of 36 months after the Closing Date, the Company may, at its option, redeem pro rata all or part of the Convertible Debentures, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior written notice, at a redemption price which is equal to 110% of the principal amount thereof, plus any accrued and unpaid interest that would otherwise be payable to the holder from the time of the Optional Redemption until the Maturity Date.
The Company may force the conversion of all but not less than all of the principal amount of the then outstanding Convertible Debentures at the Conversion Price if the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") is greater than a 45% premium to the Conversion Price for the preceding twenty consecutive trading days. Holders having their Convertible Debentures converted will receive accrued and unpaid interest thereon in cash.
In connection with the Offering, Stifel GMP received a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and compensation warrants equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Offering divided by the Conversion Price.
The Debenture Units were offered by way of a short form prospectus filed in all provinces of Canada (except Quebec). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for strategic acquisitions, capital expenditures for capacity expansion, working capital and general corporate requirements.
The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
