Hello Pal Announces Closing of C$7.25 Million Subscription Receipt Financing
The Subscription Receipts were issued pursuant to a subscription receipt agreement (the "Subscription Receipt Agreement") among the Company, the Agent and Computershare Trust Company of Canada , as subscription receipt agent. Pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement, the gross proceeds from the Offering (less 50% of the Agent's cash commission and all of the Agent's estimated expenses) (the "Escrowed Funds") have been placed in escrow pending satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions (the "Escrow Release Conditions"), which include all conditions precedent to (a) the completion of the Company's indirect acquisition of an interest in a number of mining rigs dedicated to mining Dogecoin and Litecoin (the "Mining Assets") through the acquisition of an initial 51% interest in Crypto Pal Technology Ltd. ("Crypto Pal"), a company controlled by Shanghai Yitang Data Technology Co. Ltd. ("Yitang"), with an option to increase such interest to 100%, and (b) Crypto Pal's entry into a guaranteed services agreement with Yitang whereby Yitang will guarantee the hosting of the Mining Assets as well as power supply, and will provide management and hosting services related to the Mining Assets (together, the "Transaction") having been satisfied, including any necessary government and regulatory approvals and shareholder approvals, and certain other customary escrow release conditions. Upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, the Escrowed Funds, together with any interest earned thereon, will be released to the Company and each Subscription Receipt shall be automatically exercised, without any further consideration or action by the holder thereof, into one unit of the Company (each, a "Unit"). Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company (each, a "Warrant Share") at a price of $2.00 for a period of two years after the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, subject to adjustment in certain events.
The Escrowed Funds are expected to be used to fund the Transaction, to purchase further potential assets pursuant to the Company's cryptocurrency strategy, to expand the Company's livestreaming services and for general working capital purposes. If the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied by May 31, 2021 or such later date as agreed to by the Company and the Agent, the escrowed proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts will be returned to purchasers and the Subscription Receipts will be cancelled.
As consideration for the services provided by the Agent in connection with the Offering, the Agent received (i) a cash commission of C$396,602.50 , 50% of which was paid on closing of the Offering and the other 50% of which will be payable upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, (ii) a fiscal advisory fee of C$110,897.50 , which will be payable upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, and (iii) a cash fee equal to C$200,000 , which was paid one-half in cash and one-half in Common Shares at the Offering Price (80,000 Common Shares) (the "Corporate Finance Shares"). As additional consideration, the Agent will be issued 406,000 non-transferable warrants (the "Broker Warrants") following the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions. Each Broker Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one Common Share at a price of $1.25 for a period of two years after the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions.
