On June 21, 2013, Ubika closed an additional brokered private placement of 24,000 subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") led by Portfolio Strategies Securities Inc. (the "Agent") for gross proceeds of $24,000,000 at an issuance price of $1,000 per Subscription Receipt. In the aggregate, Ubika has issued 54,022 Subscription Receipts (the "Offering") for aggregate gross proceeds of $54,022,000. As a result of satisfying the escrow release conditions under the Subscription Receipts, $52,930,260, has been transferred to Gravitas, representing the gross proceeds less Agent's fees and other expenses.
Each Subscription Receipt shall automatically convert, without payment of any additional consideration and without further action on the part of a subscriber to the Offering, into one debenture (the "Ubika Debenture") upon the satisfaction of the escrow release conditions and until such time, no Subscription Receipts may be exercised by the holders thereof. Each Ubika Debenture is exchangeable, upon completion of the transaction, into one debenture of Gravitas (the "Resulting Issuer Debenture").
The Agent shall receive a cash commission equal to 2% of the gross proceeds from the Offering. Additionally, in connection with the Offering, the Agent shall receive a cash fee of $10,000. It is intended that within the next several days, the Resulting Issuer Debentures will begin trading under the ticker symbol "GFI.DB.A" and the common shares of Gravitas will be de-listed from the TSX Venture Exchange and listed on the CNSX under the symbol "GFI".
