ADENTRA Inc. (TSX:ADEN) (“
ADENTRA” or the
“
Company”) is pleased to announce that it has
entered into an agreement with National Bank Financial Inc. and
Cormark Securities Inc., acting as co-bookrunners, on behalf of a
syndicate of underwriters (collectively, the
“
Underwriters”), pursuant to which the
Underwriters have agreed to purchase 2,246,000 common shares
(the “
Common Shares”) from the
treasury of the Company, at a price of $38.75 per Common Share for
total gross proceeds of approximately $87,032,500 million (the
“
Offering”).
In addition, the Company has granted the
Underwriters an option (the “Over-Allotment
Option”) to purchase up to an additional 15% of the Common
Shares of the Offering on the same terms exercisable at any time on
or prior to the 30th day following the closing of the Offering, to
cover the Underwriters’ over-allocation position, if any, and
consequent market stabilization.
The Company maintains an attractive acquisitions
pipeline. As such, the Company intends to use the net proceeds of
the Offering to repay bank indebtedness including under its
revolving credit facility, thereby increasing the amount available
to be drawn under the revolving credit facility to fund potential
strategic acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.
“This Offering will further solidify our balance
sheet and strongly position us to pursue M&A opportunities, as
we continue to execute on our Destination 2028 plan, which includes
adding an additional U.S.$800 million in run-rate revenues from
acquisitions by 2028,” said Rob Brown, President and CEO of ADENTRA
Inc.
Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on
or about June 12th, 2024 and is subject to customary closing
conditions and regulatory approvals, including that of the Toronto
Stock Exchange (the “TSX”).
The Common Shares to be issued under the
Offering will be offered by way of a prospectus supplement (the
“Prospectus Supplement”) to the Company’s short
form base shelf prospectus dated April 22, 2024 (the “Base
Shelf Prospectus”) in each of the Provinces of Canada, and
