dynaCERT Announces the Oversubscribed Closing of its Non-Brokered Private Placement
TORONTO, ON--(Business Wire – July 3, 2024) dynaCERT Inc. (TSX: DYA) (OTC: DYFSF) (FRA: DMJ) ("dynaCERT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the second and final tranche of its non-brokered private placement (the Offering”) of units (each, a “Unit”). The initial Offering size of $2,500,000 has been increased due to being oversubscribed by $500,000. A further 7,232,667 Units have been issued today, for gross proceeds of $1,084,900. As a result, together with the first tranche of 12,767,333 Units (for proceeds of $1,915,100), a total of $3,000,000 in aggregate gross proceeds have been raised under the Offering. The total number of Units issued is 20,000,000, each at a price of $0.15 per Unit. All dollar values are in Canadian dollars.
Each Unit consists of one (1) common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one-half (1/2) of a common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant (a “Warrant”) is exercisable into one (1) Common Share at an exercise price of $0.20 per Warrant at any time for a period commencing upon the closing of the respective tranches of the Offering (the “Closing Date”) for a period of thirty-six months thereafter.
If at any time after the date that is four months and one day after the Closing Date, the closing trading price of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange is greater than $0.35 per Common Share for a period of ten (10) consecutive business days, then the Company may give notice thereof to the holders of the Warrants, and, in such case, the expiry time of the Warrants shall be accelerated and shall be the 30th day after the date on which such notice is deemed to have been given by the Company.
All of the securities issued under this second tranche closing (including all underlying securities) are subject to a statutory hold period of 4 months plus 1 day that will expire on November 4, 2024. Two insiders participated in the first tranche of the Offering, purchasing an aggregate of $412,500 or 2,750,000 Units under that closing. Such subscriptions are considered to be related party transactions and are therefore subject to the provisions of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – "Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions", however exemptions are available from the minority shareholder approval and valuation requirements set forth in the foregoing Multilateral Instrument.
In connection with the closing of the first tranche, an aggregate of 21,667 compensation warrants were issued, each being exercisable into one (1) Unit at an exercise price of $0.18 per Unit for a period of twenty-four (24) months after the closing of the first tranche and an aggregate of $4,450 has also been paid in cash commissions. The Company paid no finders fees nor compensation warrants in connection with the second tranche closing.
The gross proceeds of the Offering will be used to finance sales of the Company’s HydraGEN™ Technology Products to participants in the mining, oil & gas, transportation and generator sectors on a global basis, for working capital, for general corporate purposes, and permitted finders’ fees under applicable securities legislation (if applicable).
The Offering has been offered for sale to purchasers (i) in all provinces of Canada pursuant to available private placement exemptions, (ii) in the United States on a private placement basis pursuant to available exemptions from the registration requirements under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and (iii) in offshore jurisdictions as may be agreed to by the Company pursuant to available prospectus or registration exemptions in accordance with applicable laws.
The securities offered hereby have not and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act) unless the securities have been registered under the 1933 Act or are otherwise exempt from such registration.
