Philadelphia, PA – TheNewswire – July 21, 2023 – VSBLTY Groupe Technologies Corp. (the “Company” or “VSBLTY”) (OTC:VSBGF) (CSE:VSBY) (Frankfurt:5VS), is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”) offering of units of the Company (“Units“) at a price of $0.05 per Unit (the “Offering“) for gross aggregate proceeds of approximately $3,362,500.
Each Unit was comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (a “Share“) and one Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant“), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one additional share (a “Warrant Share“) at a price of $0.075 per Warrant Share until July 20, 2027.
$2,500,000 of the Offering was completed pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption (the “LIFE Offering”) under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions (“NI 45-106”) and the securities issued in the LIFE Offering will not be subject to a hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. Concurrently with the LIFE Offering, the Company also completed a concurrent private placement of Units pursuant to applicable prospectus exemptions under NI 45-106 (the “Concurrent Placement“), for aggregate gross proceeds in the Offering of approximately $862,500. Such Units are subject to a four-month and one day hold period following the closing date of the Concurrent Placement.
Pursuant to the Private Placement, the Company issued 67,250,000 Units at a price of $0.05 per Unit for total gross proceeds of approximately $3,362,500.
Jay Hutton, the CEO and director of the Company purchased 500,000 Units and 500,000 Warrants in the principal amount of $25,000 under the Offering. This purchase constitutes a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The related party transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 based on the fact that neither the fair market value of the shares subscribed for by the insider, nor the consideration for the shares paid by the insider, exceeded 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.
The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Private Placement for expanding the Company’s Store as a Medium networks and deployments, expanding commercial operations in Brazil, technology development, expanding security network deployments, general and administrative expenses, and working capital, as more particularly set out in an offering document that is available under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com and at https://vsblty.net/.
