Vancouver, British Columbia, May 17, 2021 – Filament Ventures Corp. (“Filament” or the “Company”), an exclusively-natural psychedelic drug discovery and extraction company, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. and Canaccord Genuity Corp. (together, the “Co-Lead Agents”) to sell, by way of a private placement on a best efforts basis, up to that number of subscription receipts of the Company (the “Subscription Receipts”) at a price of C$0.40 – C$0.50 per Subscription Receipt (the “Issue Price”) to raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$10,000,000 (the “Offering”).
Each Subscription Receipt will be converted into one unit of the Company (a “Unit”) upon satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions (the “Escrow Release Conditions”). The Escrow Release Conditions shall be in a customary form and substance commensurate with industry norms and pursuant to the terms of a subscription receipt agreement to be entered into between the Company, Co-Lead Agents and Canadian trust company as subscription receipt agent.
Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), pursuant to the Amalgamation (as described below). Each Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price that is 50% greater than the Issue Price for a period of 24 months from the date the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied.
The Company has entered into a letter of intent with 1287396 BC Ltd. (the “Shell”) to complete a proposed amalgamation (the “Amalgamation”) between the Company and the Shell in conjunction with the Offering. The closing of the Offering is subject to, among other customary conditions, the Company entering into a definitive agreement with the Shell with respect to the Amalgamation.
The common shares of the issuer resulting (the “Resulting Issuer Shares”) from the Amalgamation, which will be named Filament Health Corp., are expected to be listed on the NEO Exchange (the “Exchange”). The Company submitted its initial listing application to the Exchange on April 23, 2021 and has reserved the ticker symbol “FH” in connection therewith.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for clinical trials, research and development, intellectual property initiatives, working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The Co-Lead Agents have been granted an option, exercisable at any time prior to 48 hours before closing of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional 15% of the number of Subscription Receipts sold pursuant to the Offering. The Company has agreed to pay the Co-Lead Agents (i) a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering; and (ii) warrants exercisable for a period of 24 months from the date the Resulting Issuer Shares are listed on the Exchange to acquire that number of Resulting Issuer Shares equal to 6.0% of the number of Subscription Receipts sold pursuant to the Offering at an exercise price equal to the Issue Price (subject to adjustment in connection with the definitive terms of the Amalgamation).
