Nova Leap Health Corp. Announces Non-Brokered Private Placement of Common Shares
23 Agosto 2022 - 3:30PM
NOVA LEAP HEALTH CORP. (TSXV: NLH) (OTC: NVLPF) (“Nova Leap”
or the “Company”), a growing home health care organization, will
undertake a non-brokered private placement to raise up to $2.5
million (the “Offering”) through the issuance of up to 7,142,857
common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) at a price of $0.35
per Common Share.
The Offering subscription price of $0.35
represents a premium of 9.4% to the August 23, 2022 closing price
of $0.32 for the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange.
Insiders are expected to subscribe for up to
$1,960,000 of the Offering.
In connection with the Offering, Nova Leap may
pay a cash finder’s fee of up to 6% of any non-insider proceeds
raised from the Offering. The proceeds from the Offering will be
used for working capital, acquisition and expansion purposes.
President & CEO’s
Comments
“This financing sets the Company up well as we
enter the latter part of the year,” said Chris Dobbin, President
& CEO of Nova Leap. “There are several reasons why we are
undertaking the financing at this time.
“The capital markets have been challenging for
smaller companies, particularly in the micro-cap space. Regardless
of current market conditions, this insider led financing being done
at a premium to the market, with no risk of warrant overhang,
demonstrates the commitment and confidence in the long-term
trajectory of the Company by our directors, executive team and
other insiders. The financing may serve as a catalyst to attract
other long-term investors who share our view of a compelling
investment opportunity.
“In my Q2 remarks, I alluded to some of the
operational changes we have made to the business to address the
current environment. We expect those changes to benefit the Company
with improved financial performance and cash flow.
“For Nova Leap, a little goes a long way. While
this is a small financing, four out of the five bank acquisition
facilities that we took on during a significant period of growth
from 2017-2018, will be fully repaid between September 2022 and
September 2023. As the four debt facilities are being extinguished
in Q3 2022, Q1 2023, Q2 2023 and Q3 2023 respectively, we expect a
meaningful improvement to cash flows and further access to leverage
for acquisitions, where circumstances warrant.
“The opportunity for acquisitions and expansion
remains as compelling as it has since we started the business.”
Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on
or about September 2, 2022. The Offering is subject to certain
conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all
necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals, including the
approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Common Shares issued
pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four month hold
period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
The securities being offered have not been, nor
will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United
States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent
registration or an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to
sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any
sale of the securities in any State in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
