Torchlight's business plan, once public, is to find a qualifying transaction (QT) to take a private operating company public via Reverse Take-Over (RTO). The target RTO company may be from any industry, ultimately creating shareholder returns for the investors of Torchlight.
On August 8, 2022, the Company completed its initial public offering ("Offering"), raising gross proceeds of $300,000 pursuant to the Company's final prospectus dated May 12, 2022 (the "Prospectus") by issuing an aggregate of 3,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Shares") at a price of $0.10 per Share.
Pursuant to the agency agreement dated May 12, 2022, Research Capital Corporation (the "Agent") acted as the agent for the Offering. In connection with the Offering, the Agent received a cash commission of $30,000, a work fee of $15,000 (plus GST) and an option to purchase up to 300,000 Shares at a price of $0.10 per Share until August 8, 2024.
The Company is a "capital pool company" ("CPC") under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") and intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for acquisition with a view to completing a "Qualifying Transaction" under the policies of the Exchange. On August 4, 2022, the Exchange issued a bulletin announcing the listing of the Shares as of market open on August 8, 2022 and immediately halted trading pending completion of the Offering. The Shares resumed trading under the trading symbol "TLX.P" on August 10, 2022.
Upon closing of the Offering, the Company granted 550,000 stock options to its directors and officers which are exercisable until August 8, 2032 at an exercise price of $0.10 per Share.
