Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 12, 2021) - Bearclaw Capital Corp. (TSXV: BRL.H) ("Bearclaw" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the non-brokered private placement (the "Placement") announced on March 9, 2021. The Company issued 1,477,000 units (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.165 per Unit to raise gross proceeds of $243,705. Each Unit consists of one common share and one half of a common share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each full Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.22 per common share for a period of 12 months from closing. The funds will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes.
Bearclaw is also pleased to announce that it has closed its shares for debt transaction, also announced on March 9, 2021 (the "Transaction"). Pursuant to the Transaction, an aggregate of $36,521.43 of the Company's outstanding debt was settled through the issuance of 221,342 common shares in the capital of the Company at a deemed price of $0.165 per common share. The creditor of the Company was Scott Ross, President and Director of Bearclaw.
Pursuant to the Transaction and the Placement, the fully-diluted beneficial ownership of the issued and outstanding common shares held by Mr. Ross, a Related Party, will increase to 13.53% (previously 11.83%)
The Company determined to satisfy the indebtedness with Shares in order to preserve its cash for development of its business.
The Transaction involving Mr. Ross constitutes a "related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the valuation and the minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 provided for in subsections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(e) of MI 61-101, respectively, as, respectively, the Company is not listed on a specified exchange and the Company is experiencing serious financial difficulty. The participation by Mr. Ross in the Transaction has been approved by directors of the Company who are independent in connection with such transaction. A material change report will be filed less than 21 days before the closing date of the Transaction. The Company believes this shorter period is reasonable and necessary in the circumstances as the Company wishes to improve its financial position by reducing its liabilities as soon as possible.
All securities issued in connection with the Financing and the Transaction will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day after closing of the Financing.
