VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Spirit Blockchain Capital Inc. (“Spirit” or the “Company”) (CSE: SPIR) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Canaccord Genuity Corp. (“Canaccord”) and Leede Financial Inc. (“Leede” and together with Canaccord, the “Lead Agents”), to act as co-lead agents on behalf of a syndicate of agents that may be formed (together with the Lead Agents, the “Agents”). Under the agreement dated February 3, 2025, the Agents will act on behalf of the Company to lead a proposed best-efforts private placement financing of up to 15,000,000 units (each, a “Unit”) at a price of $0.20 per Unit, for gross proceeds of up to $3,000,000 (the “LIFE Offering”). The LIFE Offering will be conducted under the listed issuer financing exemption (the “LIFE Exemption”) pursuant to Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions and is expected to close on or about February 18, 2025 (the “Closing Date”).
Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Unit Share”) and one half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the Company (each, a “Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.40 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the Closing Date. In connection with the LIFE Offering, the Company will grant the Agents an option (the “Agents’ Option”) to increase the size of the LIFE Offering by up to 15% by giving written notice of the exercise of the Agents’ Option, or a part thereof, to the Company at any time prior to the closing of the LIFE Offering.
The Units will be offered for sale in each of the provinces of Canada, other than Québec, pursuant to the LIFE Exemption and otherwise in those jurisdictions where the LIFE Offering can lawfully be made. The Company has filed a Form 45-106F19 with the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada, other than Québec. As the LIFE Offering is being completed pursuant to the LIFE Exemption, the Units issued in the LIFE Offering will not be subject to a hold period pursuant to the applicable Canadian securities laws.
There is an offering document related to this LIFE Offering that can be accessed under the Company’s profile at http://www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company’s website at http://www.spiritblockchain.com. Prospective investors should read this offering document before making an investment decision. Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP is acting as legal counsel for the Company and Wildeboer Dellelce LLP is acting as legal counsel for the Agents in respect of the Offering.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to purchase Dogecoin at prevailing market prices on reputable cryptocurrency exchanges, the launch of Spirit Blockchain Layer Zero Protocol and general working capital purposes.
The Company continues to work closely with its key international investors towards completing its previously announced $5,000,000 private placement of Units at $0.165 per Unit, pursuant to which it has raised $1,452,586.90 to date (the “Concurrent Private Placement”).
