Under the terms of the Termination Agreement, Dycar has received total cash consideration of $8,380,959, and the Manufacturing Agreement has been terminated. Dycar and Indiva have also agreed to enter into a mutual release of all existing and potential claims between them. Indiva will continue to provide Dycar with certain limited transitional services not to extend past January 31, 2022.
Incentive Program
The 17,184,996 Warrants eligible for the Incentive Program were issued in connection with a private placement offering of units, with each unit consisting of one common share in the capital of the Company and one Warrant (the " Offering "). The Offering was completed in two tranches occurring on June 25, 2020 and August 10, 2020. Under the terms of the Incentive Program, for each Warrant that is exercised on or before October 12, 2021 (the " Early Exercise Period "), the holder thereof will receive, at no additional cost, one-half of one newly issued Incentive Warrant, with each whole Incentive Warrant exercisable into one common share for a period of five (5) years from the issue date at an exercise price of $0.45.
Under the Incentive Program, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $3,546,666.40 upon the exercise of 8,866,666 Warrants and issued 4,433,332 Incentive Warrants. The Incentive Warrants are subject to a four-month and a day hold period from the date of issuance. No fractional Incentive Warrants were issued under the Incentive Program. The proceeds from the Incentive Program will be primarily used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Company does not anticipate any material effect on the Company’s business and affairs as a result of the completion of the Incentive Program. The Incentive Program was approved by disinterested members of the board of directors of the Company.
Pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (" MI 61-101 "), the participation of John A. Marotta, a director of the Company constitutes a "related party transaction". The transaction is exempt from the formal valuation requirement pursuant to subsections 5.5(a) and (b) of MI 61-101, and from the minority approval requirement pursuant to subsection 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101. As this material change report was filed following the closing of the Incentive Program (and therefore less than 21 days before the closing of the Incentive Program), there is a requirement under MI 61‐101 to explain why the shorter period is reasonable or
necessary in the circumstances. A material change report was not filed by the Company 21 days before the closing of the Incentive Program as the level of insider participation was not known at that time and the Incentive Program was only open for a 15 day period. In the view of the Company, this was reasonable in the circumstances.
Prior to the completion of the Incentive Program, John A. Marotta, together with its joint actor, Marotta Investments Limited (collectively, " Marotta "), owned and controlled an aggregate of 10,894,334 (7.75%) common shares on a partially-diluted basis, assuming the exercise of all of Marotta's vested stock options, convertible debentures and warrants. Following to the completion of the Incentive Program, Marotta, owned and controlled an aggregate of 11,494,334 (7.73%) common shares on a partially-diluted basis, assuming the exercise of all of Marotta's vested stock options, convertible debentures and warrants. (including the Incentive Warrants).
