Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire – August 14, 2023 – Plantify Foods, Inc. (TSXV:PTFY) (“Plantify Foods” or the “Company“) announces that it intends to issue rights (the “Rights Offering“) to holders of record of its common shares (“Common Shares“) at the close of business on August 22, 2023 (the “Record Date”) for the purchase of up to a total of 183,555,707 Common Shares. Pursuant to the Rights Offering, each shareholder of Plantify (a “Shareholder”) will receive one transferable right (each, a “Right”) for every Common Share held as of the Record Date. One Right will entitle the holder thereof to subscribe for one Common Share at a subscription price of $0.01 per Common Share (the “Basic Subscription Privilege”) until 2:00 p.m. (Pacific) on September 15, 2023 (the “Expiry Time”). Assuming the exercise of all Rights, the Rights Offering will raise gross proceeds of $1,835,557.
The Rights will be issued to Shareholders resident in a jurisdiction of Canada (the “Eligible Jurisdictions”) and those Shareholders resident outside of the Eligible Jurisdictions who have satisfied Plantify as to their ability to legally receive the Rights. Accordingly, and subject to the detailed provisions of the right offering circular dated August 14, 2023 (the “Circular”), Rights DRS advice statements (“Rights DRS”) will not be mailed to Shareholders resident outside of the Eligible Jurisdictions unless such Shareholders are able to establish to the satisfaction of Plantify, on or before September 4, 2023, that they are eligible to participate in the Rights Offering. Shareholders who fully exercise their Rights will be entitled to subscribe pro rata for Common Shares (the “Additional Shares”), if any, not otherwise subscribed for by other holders of Rights prior to the expiry time pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege (the “Additional Subscription Privilege”).
The Rights will be listed and posted for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “PTFY.RT” on a “when issued” basis commencing on August 21, 2023 and will cease trading at 9:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on September 15, 2023.
Complete details of the Rights Offering are set out in the Circular and the rights offering notice (the “Notice”), which are filed under Plantify’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca. Registered Shareholders who wish to exercise their Rights must complete and forward the Rights DRS, together with applicable funds, to Computershare Investor Services Inc., the depositary for the Rights Offering, on or before the Expiry Time. Shareholders who own Common Shares through an intermediary, such as a securities dealer or broker, will receive materials and instructions from their intermediary.
Neither the Rights or the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Rights have been or will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be exercised, offered or sold, as applicable, in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy Common Shares. There shall be no offer or sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification of such securities under the laws of any such jurisdiction.
