Business Wire
VIQ Solutions Inc. (“VIQ”, “VIQ Solutions” or the
“Company”) (TSX: VQS) today announces that it has closed a
non-brokered private placement of 10,239,000 common shares of the
Company (collectively, the “Common Shares”) at a price per
Common Share of C$0.158 for aggregate gross proceeds of
C$1,617,762.00 (the “Offering”). VIQ intends to use the net
proceeds from the Offering for working capital and general
corporate purposes.
The Common Shares will be subject to a statutory hold period or
restricted period in Canada of four months and one day following
the closing date. The Offering is subject to final acceptance by
the Toronto Stock Exchange.
In connection with the Offering, Beedie Investments Ltd.
(“Beedie”) purchased 3,000,000 Common Shares. Beedie is a
related party (within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101
– Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions
(“MI 61-101”)) and such issuance is considered a “related
party transaction” for the purposes of MI 61-101. Such related
party transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority
shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair
market value of the Common Shares issued to the related party, nor
the consideration paid by the related party exceeds 25% of the
Company's market capitalization. The purchasers of the Common
Shares and the extent of such participation were not finalized
until shortly prior to the completion of the Offering. Accordingly,
it was not possible to publicly disclose details of the nature and
extent of related party participation in the transactions
contemplated hereby pursuant to a material change report filed at
least 21 days prior to the completion of such transactions.
