(TSXV: FUND) ("Katipult" or the "Corporation"), a provider of industry leading and award-winning software infrastructure for powering the exchange of capital in equity and debt markets, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement for a C$3.0 million investment (the "Investment") from Canaccord Genuity Group Inc. ("Canaccord Genuity").
Proceeds from the Investment will be used to fund Katipult's growth and market expansion plans, with a focus on strengthening its existing market position in the Canadian capital markets, and expanding its presence in the U.S., UK and Australian capital markets.
The Investment will be in the form of C$3.0 million of unsecured subordinated convertible debentures (the "Debentures"), with no interest (0% coupon) and will mature five years from the closing date of the Investment (the "Maturity Date") at which time, the principal amount of the Debentures will become due and payable. Closing is expected to occur on or before March 5, 2021. Until the Maturity Date, Canaccord Genuity may convert the Debentures into common shares in the capital of the Corporation (the "Common Shares") at a conversion price of $0.23 per Common Share. As part of the Debenture financing, the Corporation has granted Canaccord Genuity warrants to acquire 12,000,000 Common Shares (the "Warrants"), exercisable at any time on or prior to the Maturity Date. Each Warrant is exercisable into one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.25 per Common Share.
No finder's fees, broker's fees and/or commissions will be paid in connection with the Investment.
Under applicable Canadian securities law, the Debentures, the Warrants and the underlying Common Shares to be issued pursuant thereto will be subject to a hold period of four months and a day from the date of issuance of the Debentures and the Warrants.
Closing of the Investment is subject to, among other things, the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV").
