MONTREAL, Oct. 28, 2021 /CNW/ - Bold Capital Enterprises Ltd. (TSXV: BOLD.P) ("BOLD" or the "Corporation"), a capital pool company, announces that the shares of BOLD are expected to resume trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") on Monday, November 1, 2021. The Corporation also announces that it intends to arrange a non-brokered private placement of common shares for minimum proceeds of $100,000 and maximum proceeds of up to $1,000,000 (the "Offering"). The issue price per share will be determined after the resumption of trading and is expected to be based upon the 10-day volume weighted average price of the common shares on the Exchange, subject to a minimum issue price of $0.05. The final issue price and size of the Offering will be confirmed in a subsequent press release.
The proceeds from the private placement will be used to re-capitalize the Corporation and provide much needed working capital. The Corporation confirms that it has not entered into an agreement in principle with any potential target, but will continue to search for prospective opportunities and evaluate other businesses and assets with a view toward completing a Qualifying Transaction and creating value for shareholders.
The Corporation is pleased to confirm that it has already received subscriptions for the $100,000 minimum amount of the Offering, which has been placed in trust pending the determination of the final issue price. Mr. Edward Ierfino, who joined the Board of Directors this past May, has committed to and subscribed for $30,000 of the Offering and has agreed to place the common shares, when issued at closing, in escrow in accordance the policies of the Exchange in order to satisfy his ownership obligations under Policy 2.4 of the Exchange. The Corporation welcomes Ed's commitment and the experience he can bring to the immediate work ahead in sourcing and evaluating prospective opportunities to complete a Qualifying Transaction. In addition, Mr. Peter Rona, President and CEO of BOLD, has committed to and subscribed for $20,000 of the Offering and agreed to place the common shares, when issued at closing, in escrow in accordance the policies of the Exchange. Mr. Rona currently owns 400,000 common shares of BOLD.
The subscriptions by Messrs. Ierfino and Rona will constitute related-party transactions as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The subscriptions in the Offering will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the common shares proposed to be sold to Messrs. Ierfino and Rona do not exceed 25% of the Corporation's market capitalization, assuming a minimum issue price per share of $0.05.
Peter Rona, President and CEO of BOLD, stated: "Our entire management team and Board of Directors remains committed to finding the best Qualifying Transaction for our company in the shortest time possible after our previous unsuccessful attempt in 2020. The team believes that the first step in this process is to re-capitalize the company in order to be able to achieve our goals."
The Offering is subject to the approval of the Exchange. All common shares issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to such restrictions on resale pursuant to applicable securities laws and the policies of the Exchange.
