VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 24, 2021 / Holy Cow Foods Inc. ("Holy Cow" or the "Company"), a plant-based food company focused on the production and sale of products that are made of 50% plant-based, and 50% conventional meat ingredients, is pleased to announce that it has obtained a receipt from the British Columbia Securities Commission for its long-form final prospectus dated December 14, 2021 (the "Final Prospectus").
The Final Prospectus qualifies the distribution (the "Offering") of a minimum of 3,600,000 units (each, an "Offered Unit") and a maximum of 5,000,000 Offered Units, at a price of $0.50 per Offered Unit for minimum gross proceeds of $1,800,000 and maximum gross proceeds of $2,500,000. Each Offered Unit will consist of one (1) common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one-half of one (1/2) Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, an "Offered Warrant"). Each Offered Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one (1) Common Share at an exercise price of $0.75 for a period of two (2) years after the closing of the Offering (the "Closing").
Pursuant to the agency agreement dated December 14, 2021, Research Capital Corporation (the "Agent") acts as agent in the Offering, on a commercially reasonable-efforts basis. On Closing, the Agent will receive a cash commission equal to 8% of the gross proceeds from the Offering and the number of compensation options (the "Agent's Options") equal to 8% of the number of Offered Units sold under the Offering. Each Agent's Option will be exercisable unto one (1) Offered Unit at an exercise price of $0.50 for a period of two (2) years after the Closing.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering as disclosed in the Final Prospectus for, among other things: increasing sales and expanding production of the Company's products; developing the Company's commissary kitchen business; general and administrative costs; covering expenses related to the Offerings; and general working capital.
The Final Prospectus also qualifies the distribution of (i) 4,089,000 Common Shares and 4,089,000 Common Share purchase warrants (each, a "First SW Warrant") issuable upon the exercise of 4,089,000 special warrants of the Company, and (ii) 3,216,047 Common Shares and 3,216,047 Common Share purchase warrants (each, a "Second SW Warrant") issuable upon the exercise of 3,216,047 special warrants of the Company. Each First SW Warrant will be exercisable into one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.30 for three (3) years from the date (the "Listing Date") on which the Common Shares commence trading on the NEO Exchange (the "NEO"), while each Second SW Warrant will be exercisable into one (1) Common Share at an exercise price of $1.10 per share for a period of two (2) years from the Listing Date.
The Company is also pleased to announce that it has received conditional approval to list its Common Shares on the NEO. Completion of the NEO listing is subject to the Company fulfilling all of the NEO's listing requirements, including the minimum distribution requirements. The Company anticipates the closing of the Offering and the completion of the listing on the NEO will occur in January 2022.
A further news release will be issued upon Closing and once the commencement date of trading of the Company's Common Shares has been confirmed.
