The Corporation
Kalon Acquisition Corp. was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on April 3, 2019 and is classified as a Capital Pool Company, as defined in Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) Corporate Finance Manual (the “Manual”). The head office and the registered head office of the Company is located at 885 West Georgia Street, Suite 2200, Vancouver, BC V6C 3E8.
The principal business of the Company will be the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction (“QT”) as such term is contemplated in the Manual. The Company has not commenced operations and has no assets other than cash held in trust. The Company’s continuing operations as intended are dependent upon its ability to identify, evaluate and negotiate an acquisition, or business, or an interest therein. Such an acquisition will be subject to the approval of the regulatory authorities concerned and, in the case of a non-arm’s length transaction, of the majority of the minority shareholders.
The proceeds raised from the issuance of share capital may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for future investment, with the exception that up to the lesser of 30% of the gross proceeds realized by the Corporation in respect of the sale of its securities or $210,000, may be used for purposes other than evaluating businesses or assets. These restrictions apply until completion of a QT by the Corporation as defined under the policies of the Exchange. The Corporation is required to complete its QT on or before two years from the date the Corporation’s shares were first listed on the Exchange.
During the period ended July 31, 2019, the Corporation issued 6,780,000 common shares at $0.05 per share for gross proceeds of $339,975. Share issuance costs of $3,000 were associated with these issuances.
On June 29, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the unaudited financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended April 30, 2021.
