Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 6, 2019) - DXI Energy Inc. (TSX: DXI) (OTCQB: DXIEF) ("DXI" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that in connection with a Unit Offering (the "Offering") in progress and in accordance with the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") rules, the Company obtained the approval, by way of written consent, from its shareholders, which currently holds 114,765,669 shares representing 53% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, on a non-diluted basis, to issue greater than 25% of the current issued and outstanding number of shares of 216,518,351.
Pursuant to the Offering, the terms of which were negotiated at arm's length, the Company will issue, on a private placement basis, up to 40,000,000 units (the "Units") at a price of Cdn$0.03 per Unit (the "Unit Offering Price"), which at the date of pricing was the market price at the time of application with the TSX on September 24, 2019 (the 5-day volume-weighted average price of $0.035032 on the TSX) minus a 14.36% discount. Each Unit shall consist of one common share ("Share") and one common share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each Warrant shall be exercisable into one common share (a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price of Cdn$0.04 at any time up to one year from the date of issuance. The Company can demand with a 5-business day notice the accelerated expiry within the one-year term if the 5-day VWAP at any time is Cdn$0.09 per share or higher. The Shares and the Warrants that make up the Units will be immediately separable and will be issued separately. The Warrants are governed under the terms of a warrant indenture, which contains standard anti-dilution provisions in certain circumstances, including upon the occurrence of share reorganizations, share reclassifications, and share consolidations or amalgamations.
Following the completion of the Offering, the effect of the transaction is described below:
- There will be no change on the control of the Company and no additional shareholders holding more than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. The sole shareholder who holds more than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company is Robert L. Hodgkinson, a director of the Company.
- There are no voting trusts in place at present, nor will there be any voting trusts in place post-transaction.
- There is no Insider participation in the Offering.
- If the maximum number of shares issuable in the Offering are fully subscribed and the maximum number of Warrants in the Offering are fully exercised, they will represent 37% of the issued and outstanding number of shares, pre-transaction, on a non-diluted basis.
Pursuant to section 607(g)(i) of the TSX Company Manual, the Company was required to obtain approval for the Offering from a majority of its shareholders by way of written consent, on the basis that the shares to be issued in the Offering will be greater than 25% of its issued and outstanding number of shares at a discount to the market price at the time of application with the TSX on October 24, 2019 (the 5-day volume-weighted average price of $0.036078 on the TSX), on a non-diluted basis.
