Cymat Reprices Warrants And Announces Warrant Exercise Incentive Program
MISSISSAUGA, ON, March 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Cymat Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: CYM) (OTCQB: CYMHF) (the "Company" or "Cymat") is pleased to announce that it intends to reprice outstanding warrants and initiate a warrant exercise incentive program.
The Company intends to reprice an aggregate of 3,859,862 outstanding common share purchase warrants ("Warrants") issued pursuant to its May 5, 2021 private placement. The Warrants have an exercise price of $0.90 and an expiry date of May 5, 2023. Management believes repricing these "out of the money" Warrants could encourage their earlier exercise, improving the Company's balance sheet and helping to finance a number of business development opportunities in the automotive and military sectors. The Warrants will be deemed to be amended to adjust their exercise price to $0.45 per share (the "Amended Warrants").
The Amended Warrants will also be deemed to have been amended to include an acceleration provision whereby, if for any ten (10) consecutive trading days (the "Premium Trading Days") following the repricing the closing price of the Company's common shares ("Common Shares") exceeds $0.5625, the Amended Warrants' expiry date will be accelerated such that holders will have thirty (30) calendar days to exercise the Amended Warrants (if they have not first expired in the normal course)(the "Acceleration Clause"). The activation of the Acceleration Clause will be announced by press release and the 30-day period will commence seven (7) days after the last Premium Trading Day.
The amendment of the Warrants is subject to the prior consent of all Warrant holders and the approval and the approval of TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") ("Warrant Amendment Approval").
The Company also announces that if it obtains Warrant Amendment Approval, it will institute a warrant exercise incentive program (the "Incentive Program") designed to encourage the early exercise of the 3,859,862 Amended Warrants. Under the Incentive Program, the Company will offer an inducement to each Warrant holder that exercises its Amended Warrants prior to 4:00 pm Toronto time on March 31, 2023, by the issuance of one additional Common Share purchase warrant (an "Incentive Warrant") for each Warrant exercised. Each Incentive Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional Common Share of the Company at a price of $0.60 for a period of two (2) years from the date of the Warrant Amendment Approval and will be subject to a four month and one day hold period from their date of issuance.
The Incentive Program will commence upon receipt of Warrant Amendment Approval and will expire on March 31, 2023 at 4:00 p.m. (Toronto time).
Michael Liik, CEO and Chairman of Cymat commented "The company is currently involved in several automotive and military development programs which require ongoing funding." He added, "The proceeds from the exercise of these warrants will also buttress our balance sheet and demonstrate staying power to our commercial partners at this critical juncture."
The Company intends to issue an updating news release upon receipt, if any, of Warrant Amendment Approval and commencement of the Incentive Program, outlining the terms and conditions and the method of exercising Warrants pursuant to the Incentive Program. The Incentive Program is subject to approval by the Exchange.
