The proceeds of the Offering will be used for general working capital purposes. The Company may be closing additional tranches of the Offering until May 11, 2018.
Anton Mattadeen, CEO and a RISE founder comments on the progress: “This first raise as RISE represents another step in a carefully constructed plan to enable the launch of our California operations in June. We are right on track to introduce our initial suite of sexual health and wellness products to the largest, and one of the most sophisticated cannabis consumer markets in the world. The time and effort we have spent in California will inform how RISE commercializes our sexual health and wellness formulations in other legalized jurisdictions around the globe.”
Further news on our brand and specific product line up will be disclosed on or before 5/20, and then our official California product launch on 6/20, so May 20th and June 20th respectively.”
Certain eligible persons (“Finders”) were paid a commission equal to 8% of the gross proceeds raised from subscribers introduced to the Company by such Finders and issued non-transferable broker warrants (“Broker Warrants”) equal to 8% of the Units issued pursuant to the Offering. Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date of closing of the Offering at a price of $0.30 per Common Share.
A portion of the Offering was completed pursuant to Multilateral CSA Notice 45-318 — Prospectus Exemption for Certain Distributions through an Investment Dealer (“CSA 45-318”) and the corresponding blanket orders and rule implementing CSA 45- 318 in the participating jurisdictions in respect thereof (collectively with CSA 45-318, the “Investment Dealer Exemption”). As at the date hereof, the Investment Dealer Exemption is available in each of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and New Brunswick. Pursuant to CSA 45-318, each subscriber relying on the Investment Dealer Exemption must obtain advice regarding the suitability of the investment from a registered investment dealer. In accordance with the requirements of CSA 45-318, there is no material fact or material change of the Company that has not been disclosed.
In addition to conducting the Offering pursuant to the Investment Dealer Exemption, the Offering was also conducted pursuant to other available prospectus exemptions.
The Offering constituted a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”) as an insider of the Company subscribed for an aggregate of 33,333 Units pursuant to the Offering. The Company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the participation in the Offering by the insider does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before the closing of the Offering, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances in order to complete the Offering in an expeditious manner.
The Company has also issued an aggregate of 83,333 common shares in settlement of an aggregate of $30,307 of indebtedness with a vendor at a price of $0.30 per common share.
