Perimeter and New World Announce Terms of Private Placement Financing; Update on Reverse Takeover Transaction
Perimeter Medical Imaging, Inc. (“Perimeter” or the “Company”) and New World Resource Corp. (TSXV: NW) ("New World") today announced that Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, Inc. (the “Resulting Issuer”), a company to be formed upon the completion of the reverse takeover (the "RTO") of New World by Perimeter, intends to undertake a non-brokered private placement of units ("Units") to raise up to C$6,800,000, which may be increased at the discretion of the Resulting Issuer (the "Offering"). Each Unit will be issued for C$1.45 (the "Issue Price") and will consist of one (1) common share (“Common Share”) of the Resulting Issuer and one-half (1/2) of a common share purchase warrant (“Warrant”) with each whole Warrant exercisable into a Common Share at an exercise price of C$2.00 per warrant share (each Common Share issued on exercise of a Warrant, a “Warrant Share”) for a period of 18 months from closing, subject to adjustment in certain customary events. The Warrants will be subject to accelerated conversion if the Common Shares trade above a C$3.00 15-day volume-weighted average price on the TSXV at any time following the date that is four months and a day following the closing.
Completion of the Offering remains subject to receiving the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) and will be completed immediately following completion of the RTO. Subject to satisfaction of such conditions, the closing is targeted to occur the week of June 22, 2020.
The Resulting Issuer intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for working capital, clinical studies to fund the further development of the Resulting Issuer's technology, and general corporate purposes.
The Resulting Issuer will apply to list the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares on the TSXV. The Warrants will not be listed on any exchange. Completion of the Offering and listing will be subject to the Resulting Issuer fulfilling all the listing requirements of the TSXV. Finder's fees may be paid to registered dealers in an amount up to a 7% cash fee of the aggregate cash proceeds from the Offering, and warrants entitling the finders to subscribe for number of Common Shares equal to up to 7% of the total number of Units issued in the Offering, at an exercise price equal to the Issue Price, for a period of 24 months from closing.
The Common Shares comprising part of the Units, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares (if such Warrant Shares are issued before the date that is four months and one day following the closing date) shall be subject to a hold period ending on the date that is four months and one day following the closing date.
Updates to Disclosure in Information Circular
This press release updates and supersedes the information provided in the joint information circular (the "Information Circular") relating to the meeting of the Perimeter Securityholders scheduled for June 17, 2020 (the "Perimeter Meeting") and the meeting of New World shareholders scheduled for June 17, 2020, to the extent that the Information Circular provided disclosure regarding the anticipated timing or terms of the Offering.
In particular, Perimeter confirms that the Offering will be completed immediately following the RTO, rather than prior to the RTO; that the Units will be subject to a customary four month hold period under Canadian securities laws; and that Perimeter's issued and outstanding debentures (the "Perimeter Debentures") will convert, in accordance with their terms, into common shares of Perimeter (pre-RTO) at a conversion rate of $0.25 per share immediately prior to, and in conjunction with, the RTO. After applying the applicable exchange ratio relating to the RTO, this will result in holders of Perimeter Debentures being issued a total of 10,725,627 Common Shares in the Resulting Issuer as part of the RTO (at an effective conversion ratio of $1.20 per Common Share in the Resulting Issuer).
Amendment to Interim Order
