/Not for Distribution to United States Newswire Services or for Dissemination in the United States/ TORONTO, Aug. 8, 2012 /CNW/ - BlueScout Technologies is pleased to announce a brokered private placement of "Special Warrants" for gross proceeds of up to $5 million (the "Offering"). Stifel Nicolaus Canada, Inc., is leading the Offering along with Fraser Mackenzie, Ltd,. (collectively, the "Agents"). Key Points of the Financing: -- BlueScout intends to use the proceeds to take its flagship product, the OCS-210, into substantially larger volume production, expand data generation and analysis in partnership with key customers and for general working capital. The OCS-210, an optical control system for wind turbines, increases revenue for the wind turbine owner while reducing turbine wear. Deployments of the OCS-210 have generated approximately 250,000 hours of field experience. This financing is timed to coincide with the acceleration of commercially significant orders. -- The entire BlueScout management team will be participating in this financing, contributing approximately 10% of the Offering. The newer members of management, demonstrating a strong belief in BlueScout, will be contributing a large percentage of these funds. -- Hunter-Hall, the company's largest shareholder, will be participating to maintain their pro-rata share of the company on a fully-diluted basis. -- Each Special Warrant will entitle the holder, upon exercise of each Special Warrant, to receive one common share of the Company (a "Special Warrant Share") and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one common share (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.10 per Warrant Share for a period of 36 months from the closing of the Offering. Jo Major, Chief Executive Officer of BlueScout comments, "This is unique for our employees and investors. We've changed the very foundations of the company, developing a lean cost structure and engineering a reliable system with compelling economics for our customers and the wind industry. Our management team sees making this investment alongside our investors as a great opportunity." Structure of the Financing: The Company will pay Stifel Nicolaus Canada, Inc. and Fraser Mackenzie, Ltd., (collectively the "Agents") a cash fee equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and compensation warrants equal to 6.0% of the total number of Special Warrants sold under the Offering. The Agents will be granted an option to cover over-allotments, exercisable two days prior to closing of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional 15% of the base Offering The Special Warrants will be exercisable at any time after the closing of the Offering (for no additional consideration) and all unexercised Special Warrants will be deemed to be exercised on the earlier of: (a) the date that is four months and one day following the closing of the Offering, and (b) the third business day after a receipt is issued for a final prospectus qualifying for distribution of the Special Warrant Shares and Warrants issuable on exercise of the Special Warrants The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a receipt for a final prospectus within 45 days following the closing of the Offering. If a receipt is not obtained within that period, each unexercised Special Warrant will thereafter entitle the holder to receive (for no additional consideration) an additional 10% of the Special Warrant Shares and Warrants otherwise issuable, which would consist of 1.10 Special Warrant Shares (instead of one Special Warrant Share) and 1.10 Warrants (instead of one Warrant). Pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws, until a receipt is issued for the prospectus the Special Warrants and any Special Warrant Shares and Warrants issuable on exercise thereof will be subject to a four-month hold period from the closing of the Offering.
