VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BIGG Digital Assets Inc. (“BIGG” or the “Company”) (CSE: BIGG; OTCQB: BBKCF; WKN: A2PS9W) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced short form prospectus offering (the “Offering”) of 28,750,000 units of the Company (each, a “Unit”) at a price of $0.24 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $6,900,000. The number of Units includes an additional 3,750,000 Units pursuant to the exercise of the Underwriters’ over-allotment option.
Each Unit is comprised of one common share (each, a “Common Share”) and one one-half Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (each such full warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share (each, a “Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.30 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months following the closing of the Offering, subject to an accelerated expiry if the volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) (or other applicable exchange) is equal to or greater than $0.60 per Common Share for ten consecutive trading days.
The Offering was made pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated November 11, 2020, as amended (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among the Company and a syndicate of underwriters led by PI Financial Corp., as sole-lead underwriter, and including Canaccord Genuity Corp., Echelon Wealth Partners, Haywood Securities Inc. and M Partners Inc. (collectively, the “Underwriters”). Certain purchasers on the president’s list purchased 2,083,333 Units for an aggregate gross proceeds of $500,000 (the “President’s List”). The Company has agreed to pay the Underwriters a cash fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds from the Offering and 3% of the gross proceeds of the Offering from purchasers on the President’s List. In addition, upon closing of the Offering, the Company has agreed to issue the Underwriters non-transferable broker warrants (each, a “Broker Warrant”) equal to 6% of the total number of Units sold pursuant to the Offering and 3% of the total number of Units sold to the President’s List. Each Broker Warrant will be exercisable for one Common Share (the “Broker Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.24 per Broker Warrant, and is exercisable for a period of 24 months from today’s date. The Company has also agreed to pay the Underwriters a corporate finance fee of $50,000 payable in cash (plus applicable taxes).
The Company intends to use the majority of the net proceeds of the Offering for research and development, expansion of sales and marketing teams for BIG internationally and Netcoins domestically, additional liquidity for Netcoins trade settlement, increase of long-term Bitcoin investment holdings, and working capital.
The Common Shares, the Warrant Shares, if any, and the Broker Warrant Shares, if any, have been approved for listing with the CSE under symbol “BIGG”. The Common Shares begin trading on the CSE on November 30, 2020, and the Warrant Shares and Broker Warrant Shares will be listed with the CSE upon issuance.
The Units were issued pursuant to a short form prospectus dated November 25, filed with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada, other than Québec (the “Prospectus”). A copy of the Prospectus is available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
THE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “U.S. SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. PERSONS UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.
