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.
