![Everton Resources Inc. and Molecule Announce the Closing of Concurrent Private Placements](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
The Brokered Offering and the Non-Brokered Offering (collectively the "Offerings") took place in anticipation of the plan of arrangement between Molecule and Everton (the "Arrangement"), which was approved by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on May 13, 2020. Immediately prior to the completion of the Arrangement, Everton intends to: (i) de-list its common shares from the TSX Venture Exchange; and (ii) file articles of amendment to give effect to its previously-approved ten (10) for one (1) share consolidation and change of name to "Molecule Holdings Inc." (the "Resulting Issuer"). Following the closing of the Arrangement, Molecule will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Resulting Issuer and the business of the Resulting Issuer will be that of Molecule, being the production and co-packing of cannabis-infused beverages.
The Offerings
The Offerings consisted of the issuance of an aggregate 1,025 Subscription Receipts at price of $1,000 per Subscription Receipt. Each Subscription Receipt shall be deemed to be automatically exchanged without any additional consideration or further action on the part of the holders thereof, upon the satisfaction of the escrow release conditions (the "Escrow Release Conditions"), into one convertible debenture (each a "Convertible Debenture") of the Resulting Issuer.
Each Convertible Debenture will be an unsecured debt obligation of the Resulting Issuer and will consist of: (i) a principal amount of $1,000; (ii) bear interest at the simple rate of 8% per annum, and (iii) mature on the date (the "Maturity Date") that is thirty-six (36) months from the listing date (the "Listing Date") of the Resulting Issuer Shares (as defined below) on the Canadian Securities Exchanged (the "CSE"). Prior to the Maturity Date, and subject to exercise by the Resulting Issuer of an acceleration provision, all the outstanding principal and accrued interest of the Convertible Debentures may be converted into one unit of the Resulting Issuer (a "Unit") at a price of $0.20 per Unit, at the sole option of the respective holder of the Convertible Debenture (the "Option"). Unless the Convertible Option is exercised prior to the Maturity Date, the Resulting Issuer will subsequently make a cash payment to the holders of the Convertible Debentures, to settle the outstanding principal and accrued interest of each respective Convertible Debenture.
The Units are comprised of: (i) one (1) common share in the capital of the Resulting Issuer (a "Resulting Issuer Share"), and (ii) one-half (1/2) Resulting Issuer Share purchase warrant (each whole Resulting Issuer Share purchase warrant, being a "Warrant"). Each Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Resulting Issuer Share at an exercise price of $0.30 per Resulting Issuer Share for a period of thirty-six (36) months from the Listing Date.
The Agent also provided fiscal advisory services pursuant to the terms of a fiscal advisory agreement (the "Fiscal Advisory Agreement") with respect to the Non-Brokered Offering. Pursuant to the Agency Agreement and the Fiscal Advisory Agreement, Molecule issued an aggregate of 376,000 Agent's options (the "Agent's Options"), 34,000 advisor's options (the "Advisor's Options") and 40 convertible debentures (the "Compensation Debentures", together with the Agent's Options and the Advisor's Options collectively the "Compensation Securities"). Each Compensation Debenture has the same terms as the Convertible Debentures and each Agent's Option and each Advisor's Option may be exercised for one Unit at price of $0.20 per Unit, however the Compensation Securities may be converted or exercised, as applicable, prior to the completion of the Arrangement. In such event, the underlying securities (the "Underlying Securities") will be issued by Molecule on the same terms and thereafter the Underlying Securities will be exchanged for the same securities of the Resulting Issuer upon completion of the Arrangement.
In the event that the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied or are incapable of being satisfied on or before 4:00 p.m. (EST) on December 31, 2020 (the "Escrow Release Deadline"), or such later date as may be established in accordance with the Agency Agreement, the proceeds of the Offering will be returned to purchasers of the Subscription Receipts, and the outstanding Subscription Receipts will then be cancelled.
Submission of Listing Application to the CSE
Everton and Molecule are working towards completing their listing application to the CSE and receiving conditional approval ("Conditional Approval") to list the Resulting Issuer Shares. Subject to the receipt of Conditional Approval, the parties anticipate closing the Arrangement (the "Closing") in September 2020. However, there can be no assurance that foregoing transactions will be completed as proposed, or at all. Everton will continue to update its shareholders as to the status of the Closing.
