VERSES CLOSES THIRD TRANCHE OF LIFE OFFERING
Verses AI Inc. has closed the third tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the LIFE offering) of units of the company (the LIFE units) for gross proceeds in this third tranche of $770,000 from a single investor. The first tranche of the LIFE offering closed on Nov. 8, 2024, for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,903,850 and the second tranche of the LIFE offering closed on Nov. 15, 2024, for aggregate gross proceeds of $512,800.
Pursuant to the third tranche of the LIFE offering, the company issued 1.54 million LIFE units at a price of 50 cents per LIFE unit. Each LIFE unit will consist of one Class A subordinate voting share of the company and one-half of one share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one share at an exercise price of 70 cents per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, for a period of 36 months from Dec. 9, 2024.
The LIFE offering has been structured to take advantage of the listed issuer financing exemption from prospectus requirements in Part 5A of NI 45-106, whereby shares issued pursuant to the exemption are freely tradeable listed equity securities not subject to any hold period (see below).
The LIFE offering has been conducted in all the provinces of Canada, except Quebec, under the exemption, for aggregate gross proceeds in this third tranche of $770,000. The LIFE offering was also conducted in the united States pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements under Regulation D of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, and in those other jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States provided it is understood that no prospectus filing or comparable obligation arises in such other jurisdiction. The LIFE units are not subject to resale restrictions pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws, however, the LIFE units (and underlying shares, warrants and warrant shares) offered and sold to persons in the United States, will be considered restricted securities under the 1933 Act and will contain a restrictive legend referencing the 1933 Act.
In connection with the third tranche of the LIFE offering, the company: (i) paid to certain finders and advisers an aggregate cash commission of $50,050; and (ii) issued to certain finders and advisers an aggregate of 100,100 compensation warrants. Each compensation warrant will be exercisable into one unit of the company at the offering price for a period of 36 months from Dec. 9, 2024, with each compensation unit comprised one share and one-half warrant.
The net proceeds of the LIFE offering will be used for general working capital purposes, to finance continuing operations, and to finance research and development, including the development of Genius, all as more particularly described in the offering document dated Nov. 8, 2024, that can be accessed under the company's profile at SEDAR+
and on the company's website.
