Offering is over-subscribed and the books are closed
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 14, 2025) - Plurilock Security Inc. (TSXV: PLUR) (OTCQB: PLCKF) ("Plurilock" or the "Company"), a global cybersecurity services and solutions provider, is pleased to announce that due to investor demand it will increase its previously announced non-brokered private placement of special warrants (the "Special Warrants"). The Company will now offer up to 12,000,000 Special Warrants at the price of $0.40 per Special Warrant for gross proceeds up to $4.8 million (the "Offering"). The Offering is over-subscribed and the Company has closed the books. The Company expect to close the Offering on or about Wednesday, January 22, 2024.
The terms of the Offering remain unchanged such that each Special Warrant will automatically convert into one unit of the Company (each a "Unit"), as described below. Each Unit shall consist of one common share of the Company (a "Share") and one transferable common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Share at a price of $0.50 per Share for a period of three years following the date of issue. The Warrants are subject to an accelerated expiry if the volume weighted average daily trading price of the Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), or such other market as the Shares may trade from time to time, is or exceeds $0.65 for any five (5) consecutive trading days, in which event the Warrant holder may, at the Company's election, be given notice by way of a news release that the Warrants will expire 30 days following the date of such notice. The Warrants may be exercised by the Warrant holder during the 30-day period between the notice and the expiration of the Warrants.
Each Special Warrant will automatically convert, for no additional consideration, into one Unit on the date that is the earlier of: (i) the date that is three business days following the date on which the Company files a prospectus supplement to a short form base shelf prospectus with the securities commissions qualifying distribution of the Units underlying the Special Warrants (the "Prospectus Supplement"), and (ii) the date that is four months and one day after the closing of the Offering.
The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file the Prospectus Supplement within 60 days of the closing of the Offering (not including the date of closing), provided, however, that there is no assurance that a Prospectus Supplement will be filed with the securities commissions, prior to the expiry of the statutory four month hold period.
The Company may pay finder's fees of 7.0% in cash and issue that number of broker warrants ("Broker Warrants") as is equal to 7.0% of the number of Special Warrants sold under the Offering. Each Broker Warrant will be exercisable for one Share at the price of $0.50 for a period of three years, subject to the same accelerated expiry as the Warrants.
The Special Warrants are expected to be issued pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements under Canadian securities laws, such as the accredited investor, $150,000 minimum investment, or other relevant exemptions under National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions. Prior to the filing of the Prospectus Supplement and the automatic conversion of the Special Warrants, the securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a four month hold period from the date of closing of the Offering in addition to any other restrictions under applicable law.
The completion of the Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSXV.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for general working capital purposes.
It is anticipated that insiders of the Company may participate in the Offering, and such Special Warrants issued to insiders may be subject to a four month hold period pursuant to applicable policies of the TSXV. The issuance of Special Warrants to insiders will be considered a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to section 5.5(a) and the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to section 5.7(1)(a) in respect of such insider participation as the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
