Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 23, 2024) - DelphX Capital Markets Inc. (TSXV: DELX) (OTCQB: DPXCF) ("DelphX"), a leader in the development of new classes of structured products for the fixed income market, announces that it has closed its over-subscribed non-brokered private placement, previously announced on August 19, 2024, issuing 4,491,666 units (the "Units") at a subscription price of C$0.12 per Unit, for gross proceeds of C$539,000 ("the Offering"). Each Unit consists of one common share ("Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.25, for a period of five years from the date of issuance.
Insiders participated in the Offering subscribing for 666,666 Units, and as a result the Offering is considered a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") and TSXV Policy 5.9 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. However, DelphX has relied on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of related party participation, as neither the fair market value of the securities issued to insiders nor the cash consideration paid for such securities exceeded 25% of DelphX's market capitalization. A material change report was not filed more than 21 days prior to closing of the Offering as the participation of insiders in the Offering and the extent of such participation was not finalized until shortly prior to the completion of the Offering.
In connection with the Offering, DelphX will pay cash finder's fees of $5,600 and issue 46,667 finders' warrants (the "Finders' Warrants") to AlphaNorth Asset Management and will pay cash finder's fees of $32,130 and issue 267,750 Finders' Warrants to Leede Financial Inc., eligible finders. The Finders' Warrants will be exercisable at C$0.25 each for a period of five years after issuance.
The Offering has been conditionally accepted by the TSX Venture Exchange, and completion of the Offering is subject to the fulfilment or satisfaction of certain customary requirements and final acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a hold period of four months plus one day from the date of issuance.
DelphX intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering in connection with general corporate purposes.
