ST. JOHN’S, Newfoundland, Feb. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Kraken Robotics Inc. (TSX-V:PNG) (OTCQB:KRKNF) (“Kraken” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that it is undertaking a non-brokered private placement offering for aggregate gross proceeds of up to CDN$1.5 million (the “Offering”).
Pursuant to the Offering, the Company may issue an aggregate of up to 10,714,285 common shares (the “Shares”) at a price of CDN$0.14 per Share. There are no warrants being issued as part of this offering. All shares issued under the Offering will be subject to a four month hold period from the closing date under applicable Canadian securities laws, in addition to such other restrictions as may apply under applicable securities laws of jurisdictions outside Canada.
The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about February 26, 2018 and remains subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals including acceptance for filing by the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to build inventory for customer trials and general corporate and working capital purposes. A finder’s fee may be paid by the Company through the issuance of finder shares in an amount equal to 6% of the Shares placed with subscribers introduced by any finder under the Offering.
Management Comments
“The recent exercise of warrants, an equity private placement, and a new short-term loan from RBC provide funding to build additional inventory for customer evaluations and improve our working capital. In addition, we expect that the investors in this financing will have a positive, long-term view of the Company,” said Karl Kenny, President and CEO of Kraken. “Revenues from our core sensor and systems products continue to gain traction in both military and commercial applications.”
