In connection with the Offering, the Company has entered into binding subscription agreements with certain existing institutional and accredited investors, including its single largest shareholder, SC Master Holdings LLC ("Social Capital"), representing expected subscription proceeds totaling approximately $9.7 million. Related to the investment by Social Capital in the Company, conditional upon the closing of the Offering, the parties have agreed to enter into an amendment to their Investor Rights Agreement, pursuant to which Social Capital will be provided with the right, subject to certain ownership thresholds, to nominate up to two (2) individuals for appointment to the board of directors of the Company.
The closing of the Offering, which is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of customary closing conditions, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"), is expected to take place on or around September 20, 2024. The Company is in discussions with other potential investors and may complete one or more additional closings of the Offering for aggregate gross proceeds, when combined with the first closing of the Offering, of up to approximately $13.5 million.
Perimeter intends to use the proceeds of the Offering for working capital, commercialization of its technology, clinical studies, the further development of its technology, and general corporate purposes.
The securities issued pursuant to Offering will be subject to a hold period of four months plus a day. In connection with the Offering, the Company may pay cash commissions and or finder's fees to certain finders in respect of subscriptions received from certain investors in connection with the Offering, subject to entering into customary arrangements with such finders and subject to the approval of the TSXV. Further information with respect to any such commissions or fees will be provided at the time of the closing, or of the closing of any additional tranches of the Offering.
The Common Shares shall be offered and sold (i) to investors in Canada on a private placement basis; (ii) to accredited investors in the United States pursuant to available private placement exemptions; (iii) to investors residing in jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States, in each case in accordance with all applicable laws; provided that no prospectus, registration statement or similar document is required to be filed in such foreign jurisdiction.
The Common Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any U.S. state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an available exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the securities referenced in this press release, in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
Social Capital, a control person of the Company has entered into a binding subscription agreement to purchase a total of 14,507,453 Common Shares under the Offering. The placement to such person will constitute a "related party transaction" within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of related party participation in the placement as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involved the related parties, exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101). The Company has not filed a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Offering as the details of the Offering and the participants thereof have not yet been finalized.
