TSX Venture Exchange: APHE.P
APHELION CAPITAL CORP. ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPTS OF APHELION FUNDCO INC.
December 16, 2021 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Aphelion Capital Corp. (“ Aphelion ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce that further to its press release dated November 15, 2021, Aphelion FundCo Inc. (“ FundCo ”) has completed a brokered private placement of 1,612,903 subscription receipts of FundCo (“ Subscription Receipts ”) at a price per Subscription Receipt equal to $0.62 (the “ Financing Price ”) for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately C$1,000,000 (the “ FundCo Financing ”). Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the “ Agent ”) acted as sole agent and sole bookrunner for FundCo in connection with the FundCo Financing, which was conducted pursuant to an agency agreement (the “ Agency Agreement ”) dated December 16, 2021 among Aphelion, FundCo, Edge Technologies, Inc. (“ Edge ”) and the Agent (the “ Agency Agreement ”).
The Subscription Receipts were issued pursuant to a subscription receipt agreement dated December 16, 2021 among Aphelion, FundCo, Edge, the Agent and TSX Trust Company as subscription receipt agent (the “ Subscription Receipt Agreement ”). Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement, if the escrow release conditions (the “ Escrow Release Conditions ”) attached to the Subscription Receipts are satisfied prior to January 31, 2022, or such other date as FundCo and the Agent may agree (the “ Escrow Deadline ”), each Subscription Receipt will automatically be converted, without payment of any additional consideration and without any further action on the part of the holder thereof, into one common share in the capital of FundCo (a “ FundCo Share ”). Subsequently, in connection with the completion of the qualifying transaction of the Company with FundCo and Edge (the “ Qualifying Transaction ”), following the stock split of common shares of Aphelion on the basis of 2 post-split common shares for each one pre-split common share (the “ Split ”) and the reclassification of the post-Split common shares of Aphelion into subordinate voting shares (“ SVS ”), each FundCo Share received by holders of the Subscription Receipts shall then be converted into one SVS in connection with the completion of the Qualifying Transaction.
Pursuant to the Agency Agreement, the Agent will be paid a cash commission of approximately $70,000.00 (the “ FundCo Cash Fee ”) and a corporate finance fee of $150,000 (the “ CFF ”) with 50% of the CFF paid in cash and 50% of the CFF paid by the issuance of 120,967 FundCo Shares. Additionally, if, and only if, the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied by the Escrow Deadline, the Agent will be issued approximately 112,903 agent’s warrants (the “ FundCo Agents’ Warrants ”) each exercisable to acquire one FundCo Share for a period of twenty‐four months at the Financing Price. In connection with the completion of the Qualifying Transaction, each FundCo Agents’ Warrant will be exchanged for one SVS purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire one SVS at the Financing Price for a period of twenty‐four months following the date of issuance thereof.
The gross proceeds of the FundCo Financing, less 50% of the FundCo Cash Fee, the cash portion of the CFF and the Agent’s expenses incurred in connection with the FundCo Financing, which were paid upon closing of the FundCo Financing, have been deposited in escrow at closing pending the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement. If either: (i) the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied on or before the Escrow Deadline; or (ii) prior to such Escrow Deadline, Edge or Aphelion advises the Agent or announces to the public that it does not intend to satisfy the Escrow Release Conditions, the Subscription Receipts will be cancelled and the escrowed funds shall be returned to the holders of the Subscription Receipts in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement.
