TORONTO, Feb. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clear Blue Technologies International Inc. (“Clear Blue” or the “Company”) (TSXV: CBLU), the Smart Off-Grid™ Company, announced via press release on January 27, 2023, that it has closed a second and final tranche of a non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) on January 24, 2023. The second tranche raised CAD$1,304,420 in proceeds, following a CAD$1,269,667 first tranche that closed on December 20, 2022. Total gross proceeds for the two tranches were CAD$ 2,574,086. The total number of shares and warrants issued for both tranches were 36,772,663 and 36,772,663, respectively.
The Company also paid cash finder’s fees in the amount of CAD$61,230.40 to certain arm’s length third parties, and issued 727,020 finder warrants, in each case representing approximately 7% of the gross proceeds of the entire Offering. Each whole finder warrant is exercisable at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the date that is 60 months following the date of issue of each respective tranche at a price of $0.07 per Common Share, subject to accelerated expiration in accordance with the terms of the certificates governing the finder warrants.
All securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a hold period of four months and one day pursuant to applicable securities laws. Completion of the Offering remains subject to the final approval of the TSXV.
Certain directors and officers of the Company (collectively, the "Insiders") have participated in the Offering and, as such, the Offering may constitute a related party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), but is otherwise exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue Sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of such Insider participation in the Offering. No special committee was established in connection with the Offering or the participation of the applicable officers and directors in the Offering, and no materially contrary view or abstention was expressed or made by any director of the Company in relation thereto. Further details will be included in a material change report that will be filed by the Company in connection with the completion of the Offering. The Company did not file the material change report more than 21 days before the initial closing date of the Offering as the terms of the Offering and the total amount to be invested by the applicable officers and directors were not settled until shortly prior to the initial closing of the Offering, and the Company wished to complete the initial closing of the Offering on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.
