AMERICAN AIRES CLOSES $4 MILLION OVERSUBSCRIBED PRIVATE PLACEMENT

American Aires Inc. has closed its non-brokered private placement offering of 26,666,663 units of the company at a price of 15 cents per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $4-million. Each unit comprises one common share in the company and one common share purchase warrant being exercisable into one common share at a price of 25 cents per share for a period of 24 months from closing of the offering, provided that, in the event that the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange exceeds 40 cents for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, the company will have the right to accelerate the expiry date to 30 days following the date on which the company provides notice thereof to the holders of the warrants.

Josh Bruni, chief executive officer of the company, stated: "We are immensely gratified by the market's strong response to our private placement offering, which was significantly oversubscribed, highlighting the overwhelming interest and confidence in American Aires and our dedicated team. This success not only underscores our investors' belief in our transformative technology but also our dedication to advancing well-being and environmental safety. With this support, we are poised to accelerate our global growth, deepen our scientific research and extend our impact by venturing into new product categories. We are deeply appreciative of this strong endorsement from the investment community and excited about the future that lies ahead."

In connection with the offering, the company paid a cash fee of $47,249.99 to certain arm's-length finders and issued to certain arm's-length finders 289,100 non-transferable finders' warrants, each exercisable to acquire one unit at a price of 15 cents per unit for a period for 24 months from the closing, subject to the accelerated expiry.

The offering is subject to final approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange. The securities issued in connection with the offering are subject to a hold period of four months and one day pursuant to CSE policies and applicable securities laws. The offering price was reserved via price protection filed with the CSE on Jan. 15, 2024.

The combination of the oversubscribed offering, the improved company valuation and the feedback that the company has been receiving from investors over the past several months led the management of the company to believe that the primary objective of the partnership with Huck Project LLC announced on Aug. 28, 2023, has been largely achieved. While the company recognizes that more R&D (research and development) needs to be done to further solidify its scientific leadership in EMF modulation technology, management is satisfied with how the company is positioned today as a life sciences firm. This has been and remains the company's primary objective. The secondary rationale of the Huck outsourcing partnership was to transfer the inventory financing burden over to Huck. The company is pleased to report that this rationale was also successfully addressed through the closing of the $4-million offering. As a result of the above considerations, the company no longer views the Huck partnership necessary and is pleased to announce that it has terminated this partnership with Huck with both companies retaining a friendly relationship and agreeing to all terms and conditions.
