QYOU Media Inc. (TSXV:QYOU) (the “
Company”) is
pleased to announce today that, due to strong demand, it has agreed
with Clarus Securities Inc. (“
Clarus” or the
“
Lead Underwriter”) on behalf of a syndicate of
underwriters including Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Gravitas
Securities Inc. (collectively, the
“
Underwriters”), to increase the size of its
previously announced C$5,000,016 “bought deal” offering. Pursuant
to the upsized deal terms, the Underwriters have agreed to
purchase, on a “bought deal” basis 35,714,400 units of the Company
(the “
Units”) of the Company at a price of C$0.28
per Unit (the “
Offering Price”) for aggregate
gross proceeds to the Company of C$10,000,032 (the
“
Offering”). Each Unit will be comprised of one
common share of the Company (a “
Unit Share”) and
one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common
share purchase warrant, a “
Warrant”). Each Warrant
will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the
Company (a “
Warrant Share”) at a price of C$0.45
for a period of 24 months following the Closing Date (as defined
below).
The Company has also agreed to grant the
Underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase an additional
5,357,160 Units at the Offering Price, exercisable in whole or in
part, for a period ending 30 days from and including the Closing
Date. In the event the over-allotment option is exercised in full,
the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering will be approximately
C$11,500,036.80.
The Units will be offered in each of the
provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario by short form
prospectus. The Units may also be sold to United States purchasers
on a private placement basis pursuant to an exemption from the
registration requirements in Rule 144A of the United States
Securities Act, and in those jurisdictions outside of Canada and
the United States which are agreed to by the Company and Clarus,
where the Units can be issued on a private placement basis, exempt
from any prospectus, registration or other similar
requirements.
The Offering is expected to close on or about
February 25, 2021 (the “Closing Date”) and is
subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the
receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the
TSX Venture Exchange.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from
the Offering to support the expansion and growth of distribution
contracts, ad sales, content licensing and branding efforts in
India on behalf of The Q India and QYOU Media India Pvt. Ltd., as
well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.
