Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 30, 2024) - Legend Power Systems Inc. (TSXV: LPS) (OTCQB: LPSIF) ("Legend Power" or the "Company") announces it has closed the first tranche (the "First Tranche") of its non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") of units of the Company (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.18 per Unit. Under the First Tranche, the Company distributed 4,233,167 Units for gross proceeds of $761,970. Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant issued under the First Tranche entitles the holder to acquire one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.30 until December 30, 2026.
Legend Power also announces that, as a result of the demand for securities offered pursuant to the Offering announced on December 16, 2024, the Company has upsized the Offering from gross proceeds of up to $1,530,000 to gross proceeds of up to $2,070,000, to be raised from the issuance of up to 11,500,000 Units.
"We are pleased to announce the successful closing of the first tranche of our non-brokered private placement and the decision to upsize the offering from $1.5 million to $2 million due to strong demand," said Randy Buchamer, CEO of Legend Power. "This financing underscores the confidence our investors have in our business strategy and growth potential. With a robust pipeline of opportunities ahead, this additional capital positions us to execute on our plans with greater agility and scale. We look forward to closing the subsequent tranche as we continue driving value for our shareholders and redefining the future of the energy management industry."
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general working capital purposes, fixed operating expenses and to advance its sales pipeline.
All securities issued under the First Tranche, including securities issuable on exercise thereof, will be subject to a hold period expiring May 1, 2025, in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX Venture Exchange and applicable Canadian securities laws.
Completion of the Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the final approval of the TSXV.
