Completes Initial Closing For Proceeds of $479,200

 

TORONTO, Ontario, June 3, 2020 — Zonetail Inc. (“Zonetail” or the “Company”) (TSXV: ZONE), is pleased to announce the closing of the first tranche of its previously announced private placement. The Offering consists of units of the Company (the “Units”) being issued at a price of $0.02 per Unit, with each Unit being comprised of one common share (a “Share”) and one whole common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”).  Each Warrant will entitle its holder to purchase one (1) additional Share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05, for a period of twelve (12) months from the closing date of the Offering.

In connection with the initial closing of the Offering, the Company has issued an aggregate of 23,960,000 Units, for gross proceeds of $479,200, including the acceptance by the Company of a subscription of an insider of the Company for 7,500,000 Units generating aggregate gross proceeds of $150,000 (the  “Insider Subscription”).

II, Integral Wealth Securities Limited and Canaccord Genuity Corp., all of whom are at arm’s length to the Company and its insiders within the meaning of Policy 5.1 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”), cash compensation as finders fees of approximately $13,372 in aggregate and has issued an aggregate of 663,000 finders warrants of the Company to such eligible finders (“Finders Warrants”).  Each Finder Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05, for a period of twelve (12) months from the closing date of the Offering.  All securities issuable pursuant to the Offering, including the Finders Warrants and the Shares, if any, issuable on their exercise are subject to a four month and one day hold period from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.

 

As previously disclosed, the issuance of Units to an insider under to the Offering is considered a related party transaction within the meaning of Policy 5.9 of the Exchange and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“).  See press releases dated February 19, 2020, April 13, 2020, April 29, 2020 and May 29, 2020 for full details.  The Company relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 on the basis of financial hardship.  In addition, to comply with the policies of the Exchange in connection with the Insider Subscription with respect to the creation of a new “control person” as a result of the Offering, the Company sought and has obtained the consent to the completion of the Offering and the participation of the Insider by majority approval of the disinterested shareholders of the Company, excluding the votes attaching to the common shares held by the insider and any of their related parties.

 

The Company is seeking to raise up to $1,295,683 under the Offering and hopes to complete the final tranche of the Offering prior to June 30, 2020.   Any such closing will be subject to receipt of all required consents and approvals, including any further approvals of the Exchange.  There is no assurance that the final tranche of the Offering will be completed on a timely basis or at all.
