March 15, 2019 MJ Shareholders
Halo Labs Inc. (“Halo” or the “Company”) (NEO: HALO, OTC: AGEEF, Germany: A9KN) announces that it has agreed to amend the terms of its previously announced “best efforts” offering (the “Offering”) of convertible debenture units (the “Convertible Debenture Units”) to lower the conversion price at which the convertible debentures are convertible into common shares of the Company (the “Debenture Shares”) from $0.70 per Debenture Share to $0.65 per Debenture Share. Canaccord Genuity Corp. will act as the lead agent and sole bookrunner on behalf of a syndicate of agents, including Gravitas Securities Inc., Clarus Securities Inc., Cormark Securities Inc. and PI Financial Corp. (collectively, the “Agents”) in respect of the Offering.
In addition, the Company has been advised by the Agents that they have received expressions of interest from investors exceeding the $10 million that was referenced in the Company’s preliminary short form prospectus dated March 6, 2019 (the “Preliminary Prospectus”) and that the total size of the Offering, including the exchange of the Outstanding Debt (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus), may be increased to approximately $15 million.
The Convertible Debenture Units will be offered by way of a final short form prospectus (the “Prospectus”). A preliminary prospectus in respect of the Offering has been filed in all of the provinces of Canada, excluding Québec, pursuant to National Instrument 44-101 – Short Form Prospectus Distributions. The preliminary prospectus contains important information relating to the Offering and is still subject to completion or amendment. For more information, potential investors should read the preliminary prospectus which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. There will not be any sale or any acceptance of an offer to buy the Convertible Debenture Units until a receipt for the Prospectus has been issued.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for leasehold improvements at the Company’s facilities, the purchase of extraction equipment, for strategic acquisition opportunities and for general working capital purposes.
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 NEO Aequitas Exchange, and the entering into of an agency agreement by the Company and the Agents.
The securities being offered in connection with the Offering have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any U.S. state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an available exemption from the registration requirement of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. 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 being offered in connection with the Offering in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
