Delta 9 Announces Minimum $10 Million Public Offering of 8.5% Convertible Debenture Units
June 18 2019 - 11:57AM
Delta 9 Cannabis Inc. (“
Delta 9” or the
“
Company”) (TSXV: NINE) (OTCQX: VRNDF) is pleased
to report that its offering, previously announced on June 17, 2019
(the “
Offering”), will be for an offering size of
a minimum of $10,000,000 and up to $14,000,000. The Offering will
be conducted on an agency basis for the issuance of a minimum of
10,000 convertible debenture units (each, a
“
Convertible Debenture Unit”) and
up to 14,000 Convertible Debenture Units at a price of $1,000 per
Convertible Debenture Unit. The Offering is being co-led by Mackie
Research Capital Corporation, as sole bookrunner, and Canaccord
Genuity Corp. as co-lead agents (collectively, the
“
Agents”).
Delta 9 will grant the Agents an option (the
“Over-Allotment Option”) to cover over-allotments
and for market stabilization purposes, exercisable at any time up
to 30 days subsequent to the closing of the Offering, to increase
the size of the Offering by up to 15%. The Over-Allotment Option
will be comprised of Convertible Debenture Units and/or the
components thereof on the same terms and conditions of the
Offering, exercisable in whole or in part.
Each Convertible Debenture Unit will consist of
one 8.5% unsecured convertible debenture (the "Convertible
Debentures") and 826 common share purchase warrants of the
Company (the "Warrants"). Each Warrant shall
entitle the holder thereof to purchase one common share in the
capital of the Company (a “Common Share”) at an
exercise price of $1.33 (the “Exercise Price”) at
any time up to 36 months following Closing of the Offering.
Provided that if, at any time prior to the expiry date of the
Warrants, the volume weighted average trading price of the Common
Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) is
greater than $2.33 for 20 consecutive trading days, the Company
may, within 10 business days of the occurrence of such event,
deliver a notice to the holders of Warrants accelerating the expiry
date of the Warrants to the date that is 30 days following the date
of such notice (the “Accelerated Exercise
Period”). Any unexercised Warrants shall automatically
expire at the end of the Accelerated Exercise Period.
The Convertible Debentures shall bear interest
at a rate of 8.5% per annum from the date of issue, payable
semi-annually in arrears on the last day of June and December in
each year and will mature 36 months from the date of issuance (the
“Maturity Date”). The principal amount of each
Convertible Debenture (the “Principal Amount”)
shall be convertible, for no additional consideration, into Common
Shares at the option of the holder at any time prior to the earlier
of: (i) the close of business on the Maturity Date, and (ii) the
business day immediately preceding the date specified by the
Company for redemption of the Convertible Debentures upon a change
of control at a conversion price equal to $1.21 (the
“Conversion Price”).
The net proceeds received by Delta 9 from the
Offering are intended to be used for the working capital
requirement and other general corporate purposes.
Delta 9 will use commercially reasonable efforts
to obtain the necessary approvals to list the Convertible
Debentures, Warrants, and the Common Shares issuable upon
conversion of the Convertible Debentures and the exercise of the
Warrants on the TSXV.
Upon a change of control of the Company, holders
of the Convertible Debentures will have the right to require the
Company to repurchase their Convertible Debentures, in whole or in
part, on the date that is 30 days following the giving of notice of
the change of Control, at a price equal to 104% of the principal
amount of the Convertible Debentures then outstanding plus accrued
and unpaid interest thereon (the “Offer Price”).
If 90% or more of the principal amount of the Convertible
Debentures outstanding on the date of the notice of the change of
Control have been tendered for redemption, the Company will have
the right to redeem all of the remaining Convertible Debentures at
the Offer Price.
The Offering is being made pursuant to a
short-form prospectus filed in each of the provinces of Canada
(except Québec), and otherwise by private placement exemption in
those jurisdictions where the Offering can lawfully be made,
including the United States. The Company will be filing an amended
and restated preliminary short-form prospectus in respect of the
Offering later today. The Convertible Debenture Units (and the
Convertible Debentures and the Warrants forming part of the
Convertible Debenture Units) have not been and will not be
registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any state
securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United
States, to or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United
States or U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S.
Securities Act) absent registration or an applicable exemption from
the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and in
accordance with applicable state securities laws. 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 Convertible
Debenture Units in any jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
The closing of the Offering is currently
expected to be on or about July 9, 2019 and is subject to certain
conditions including, but not limited to the execution of an agency
agreement and the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals
including the approval of the TSXV.
