Private Placement
Troymet intends to complete the Private Placement for gross proceeds of $500,000 using available prospectus exemptions under securities laws including the accredited investor exemption and the close friends, family and business associates exemption. Any investors interested in participating in the Private Placement should contact Troymet pursuant to the contact information set forth below. Proceeds of the private placement are anticipated to be used for general corporate purposes. Closing of the Private Placement is anticipated to occur on or around April 30, 2019. A finder’s fee of up to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement may be paid in cash or Common Shares on all or any portion of this Private Placement.
Troymet currently has 124,356,225 Common Shares issued and outstanding. After giving effect to the Consolidation, but prior to the closing of the Private Placement, Troymet will have 12,435,623 Post-Consolidation Common Shares issued and outstanding. Assuming that the Private Placement is fully subscribed, Troymet will issue 10,000,000 on the Private Placement and will have 22,435,623 Post-Consolidation Common Shares issued and outstanding after the completion of the Consolidation and the Private Placement.
All securities to be issued as part of the Private Placement will be issued after the Consolidation and on a post-Consolidation basis. It is not anticipated that any new insiders will be created, nor that any change of control will occur, as a result of the Private Placement. Any participation by insiders of Troymet in the Private Placement will be on the same terms as arm’s length investors. There is no minimum aggregate subscription amount for the Private Placement, but completion of the Private Placement is subject to all regulatory approvals, including the TSX Venture acceptance. Depending on market conditions, the gross proceeds of the Private Placement could be increased or decreased. The Private Placement may be completed in one or more tranches and the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day after the closing date.
Consolidation and Name Change
Conditional on the imminent closing of the Private Placement, and shortly prior to the closing of the Private Placement, Troymet intends to complete the Consolidation. At Troymet’s last shareholder meeting, the shareholders of Troymet approved a special resolution authorizing the Consolidation, and the Board of Directors of Troymet have resolved to effect the Consolidation on the imminent closing of the Private Placement, subject to TSX Venture acceptance, in conjunction with the closing of the Private Placement. Where the exchange from the Consolidation results in a fractional Common Share, the number of Common Shares will be rounded to the nearest whole Common Share. The record date for the Consolidation will be set subsequent to the regulatory approvals being obtained and Troymet being satisfied of the imminent closing of the Private Placement. It is also anticipated that the Name Change will occur, subject to regulatory approvals being obtained, on or about the same date as the effective date of the Consolidation. Troymet will issue a further news release confirming the record date for the Consolidation and the effective date for the Consolidation and Name Change as well as the new trading symbol for Troymet when such information is available to Troymet.
Once implemented, the Consolidation will not change Troymet’s authorized share capital and each shareholder will hold the same percentage of Common Shares outstanding immediately after the Consolidation as such shareholder held immediately prior to the Consolidation (not including any dilution or effect from the Private Placement). However, the exercise price and number of Common Shares of Troymet issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants will be proportionally adjusted upon the implementation of the Consolidation in accordance with the terms of such securities.
