Proposed Grant of new options to holders of NOROC Options
Subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming annual general meeting, the Company intends to offer holders of NOROC Option holders (expiring on 31 October 2021, $0.08) the opportunity to subscribe for new options with an expiry date of 31 October 2022 and exercise price of $0.08. The Company has resolved to extend this offer to reflect the longer than anticipated period in which the Company has established material revenues in relation to its visual voicemail service offering.
The Company proposes to offer all persons holding NOROC Options as at 31 October 2021 the opportunity to subscribe for a new option (New Option) on a 1 for 1 basis exercisable at $0.08 on or before 31 October 2022, for a nominal amount of $0.002 per New Option subscribed. NOROC Option holders do not need to exercise their NOROC Options in order to participate in the offer. Holders who exercise their NOROC Options prior to the expiry date of the existing NOROC options will also be able to participate in the offer. The subscription amount will help the Company to cover the cost of issuing the New Options, which will require approval by shareholders at the annual general meeting and a short form prospectus to be prepared.
If the New Options are fully subscribed and subsequently exercised, the Company may experience a cash inflow of up to $5.4 million before costs prior to 31 October 2022.
The Company anticipates the Notice of Meeting for the annual general meeting will be circulated shortly. Shareholders who are also NOROA Option holders will be ineligible to vote for the resolution at the general meeting. Holders of NOROA Options who are related parties of the Company will not be able to participate in the offer without the specific approval of shareholders.
Authorised for release by the Board of Directors.
