April 26, 2024 – TheNewswire - Vancouver, British Columbia - Legible Inc. (CSE:READ) (OTC:LEBGF) (FSE:D0T) ("Legible” / “Company”) announces that, further to its April 5, 2024 News Release, the Company has closed the first tranche of its $1,170,000 offering (the “Offering”) of Convertible Debenture Units.
Legible closed on 122.58 Convertible Debenture Units at $9,000 per Unit for gross proceeds of $1,103,262, which included $527,262 in settlement of outstanding indebtedness, by way of a non-brokered private placement pursuant to exemptions from applicable Canadian securities laws. Based on demand, Legible has increased the size of the Offering to $2,000,000 and is now working towards doing a follow-on closing on or about May 15, 2024.
Each Debenture Unit consists of: (i) a 14% unsecured convertible debenture of the Company (“Debenture”) in the principal amount of $9,000; and (b) 100,000 common share purchase warrants (“Warrant”). The Debentures mature on the date that is two (2) years following the closing and are convertible at the holder’s option, at any time, after the date that is four months and one day from the closing, into common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) at a conversion price of $0.09 per share.
The Debentures bear simple interest at a rate of fourteen percent (14%) per annum (“Interest”), payable quarterly in arrears. Interest is payable in cash and or Common Shares by way of the issuance of Common Shares of the Corporation at the maximum allowable discount as prescribed by the applicable regulatory authority, based on the closing price of the Corporation’s Common Shares, on the date the election is made to take payment of the Interest in Common Shares.
The holders of Convertible Debentures shall be entitled to convert the Principal Amount (excluding accrued but unpaid Interest), in whole or in part, at any time after the date that is four months and one day following the Closing Date, into Common Shares at a conversion price of $0.09 per Common Share.
Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.10 for a period of two (2) years from closing; provided that if, at any time, after the date that is four months and one day following the closing, the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) is at least $0.40 per share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, the expiry date of the Warrants may be accelerated by the Company to a date that is not less than 21 days after the date that notice of such acceleration is provided to the Warrant holders, which notice may be by way of general press release.
In connection with closing of the Offering, Legible paid $2,880 in finder’s fees and issued 32,000 Warrants to qualified finders.
