ProSmart Amends Exercise Price of Warrants Issued in 2017, Grants Stock Options and Announces Shares for Debt Settlement



Kelowna, British Columbia (FSCwire) - ProSmart Enterprises Inc. (TSXV:PROS) (“ProSmart” or the “Company”), the owner of SportgoTM (“Sportgo”), a global online network, connecting sports fans, teams and brands, announces that it is amending the price and expiry date of 2,603,852 warrants (the “Warrants”) issued in connection with the non-brokered private placements that closed on May 3, June 6, and September 21 of 2017, respectively.  The number of warrants outstanding has been adjusted to reflect the consolidation of common shares (the “Consolidation”) which was effected on March 6, 2018.

 

The exercise price of the Warrants is being re-priced to $0.45 from $1.60 and the exercise period is being extended until April 20, 2020, which is consistent with the pricing and exercise period of the warrants issued pursuant to the $1.4 million non-brokered private placement of units that closed April 20, 2018. Finder’s warrants issued in connection with the non-brokered private placements in 2017 are not eligible for amendment.

 

Upon receipt of regulatory approval for the amendment, the Company has the option to force conversion of the Warrants through an acceleration clause (the “Acceleration Clause”). The Acceleration Clause gives the company the right, in the event that the weighted average daily trading price of the Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) is $0.5625 or more per Share for 10 consecutive trading days, in which case the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by giving notice to the holders thereof (by disseminating a press release advising of the acceleration of the expiry date of the Warrants) and, in such case, the Warrants will expire on the thirtieth day after the date of such notice.

 

The amendment of the Warrants is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) and the holders of the Warrants.

 

Background on the Warrants

 

On May 3, 2017, ProSmart issued 1,500,000 warrants (the “May 2017 Warrants”) in connection with a private placement of units. The May 2017 Warrants had a $0.40 exercise price and expiry date of May 3, 2018. Subsequently, the expiry date was extended until May 3, 2019 and the Consolidation resulted in reducing the number of outstanding May 2017 Warrants to 375,000 and increasing the exercise price to $1.60 per share.

 

On June 6, 2017, ProSmart issued 3,625,000 warrants (the “June 2017 Warrants”) in connection with a private placement of units. The June 2017 Warrants had a $0.40 exercise price and expiry date of May 3, 2018. Subsequently, the expiry date was extended until June 6, 2019 and the Consolidation resulted in reducing the number of outstanding June 2017 Warrants to 906,250 and increasing the exercise price to $1.60 per share.

 

On September 21, 2017, ProSmart issued 5,290,411 warrants (the “September 2017 Warrants”) in connection with a private placement of units.  The September Warrants had a $0.40 exercise price and expiry date of September 21, 2019. Subsequently, the Consolidation resulted in reducing the number of outstanding September Warrants to 1,322,602 and increasing the exercise price to $1.60 per share.

 

Combined, the May 2017 Warrants, June 2017 Warrants and September 2017 Warrants represent 10,415,411 Warrants on a pre-Consolidation basis and 2,603,852 Warrants on a post-Consolidation basis.  None of the Warrants have been exercised.

The grant of options remains subject to the approval of the TSXV.
