VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 24, 2022 /CNW/ - Cognetivity Neurosciences Ltd. (the "Company" or "Cognetivity") (CSE: CGN) (OTCQB: CGNSF) (FWB: 1UB), a technology company that has created a cognitive testing platform for use in medical, commercial and consumer environments, is pleased to announce that, further to its news releases dated December 15, 2021, January 28, 2022 and February 11, 2022, it has closed the third and final tranche of the Company's non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of units (the "Units").
In the third tranche of the Private Placement, the Company issued 2,812,790 Units at a price of $0.55 per Unit for gross proceeds of $1,547,035. Each Unit consists of one (1) common share of the Company (a "Share") and one half (½) of one common share purchase warrant (each a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional Share from the Company at a price of $0.85 until February 24, 2025. Combining with the first and second tranche, which closed on January 28, 2022 and February 11, 2022 respectively, the total amount of proceeds raised was $3,975,728, with a total issuance of 7,228,597 Units.
All securities issued in connection with the second tranche of the Private Placement are subject to a statutory hold period expiring on June 25, 2022 in accordance with applicable securities legislation. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering towards the expansion of the Company's commercial operations in the United States, marketing, customer and technical support, as well as for general operations.
Certain insiders of the Company acquired Units in the Private Placement. The participation by such insiders in the Private Placement constituted a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Such participation was exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 based on the fact that neither the fair market value of the Units subscribed for by the insiders, nor the consideration for the Units paid by such insiders, exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
