VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- New Leaf Ventures Inc. ("New Leaf" or the "Company") (CSE: NLV) is pleased to announce, pursuant to its base shelf prospectus dated July 26, 2021 and the prospectus supplement dated October 27, 2021, it has completed its previously announced public offering, consisting of 6,000,000 units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of $0.25 per Unit (the “Offering Price”), for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,500,000. Each Unit is comprised of one (1) common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one half (1/2) common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will be exercisable at a price of $0.40 until November 1, 2023 (the “Expiry Date”) subject to acceleration. If, during the life of the Warrants, the closing price of the Common Shares as quoted on the Canadian Securities Exchange is equal to or exceeds $0.60 per Common Share for any 10 consecutive trading days, the Company may provide notice to the holders of the Warrants by issuance of a news release that the expiry date of the Warrants will be accelerated to the 30th day after the date on which the Company issues such news release.

In connection with the public offering, pursuant to the agency agreement dated October 27, 2021, between the Company and Research Capital Corporation (the “Agent”), the Agent acted as agent for the offering, and received a cash commission in the amount of $105,000 in connection with the offering from certain purchasers of the Units (the “Purchasers”). The Company also issued 420,000 non-transferrable share purchase warrants (the “Agent Warrants”) to the Agent and members of its selling group. Each Agent Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Unit (an “Agent Unit”) at an exercise price of $0.25 until the Expiry Date. Each Agent Unit consists of one Common Share and one-half of one warrant (each whole warrant, an “Agent Unit Warrant”). Each Agent Unit Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share on the same terms and conditions as the Warrants.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the offering primarily for product development, facility production, branding and packaging, marketing and general and administration expenses.

The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state of the United States of America, its territories, possessions or the District of Columbia (the “United States”), and may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, any U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) unless exemptions from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws are available.
