Eguana Technologies Inc. (“
Eguana” or the
“
Company”) (TSX.V:EGT) (OTCQB: EGTYF) announces
that, effective as of December 17, 2021, DHCT II Luxembourg SARL
(“
DHCT”), the Company’s largest shareholder, has
elected to convert all of the Series A preferred shares (the
“
Series A Shares”) it holds, being 434,860 Series
A Shares, into 18,119,167 common shares (the
“
Conversion Shares”) of the
Company (the “
Series A Conversion”).
In respect of the accretive dividend payable on
the Series A Shares, the Company has paid DHCT $500,000 and intends
to issue 1,326,986 common shares of the Company (the
“Dividend Shares”) to DHCT at a deemed price per
share of $0.45, representing yesterday’s closing price of the
Company’s common shares, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture
Exchange (the “TSXV”). The
Dividend Shares, once issued, will be subject to a statutory hold
period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.
The Company also announces that DHCT has elected
to exercise 4,000,000 common share purchase warrants of the Company
(the “Warrants”) at an exercise price of $0.20 per
Warrant for gross proceeds to the Company of $800,000 (the
“Warrant Exercise”).
As a result of DHCT’s status as an insider of
the Company, the issuance of the Conversion Shares constitutes, and
the issuance of the Dividend Shares will constitute, a
related-party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -
Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions
(“MI 61-101”). This transaction is exempt from the
formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of
MI 61-101 pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as
neither the fair market value of the securities issued or to be
issued, nor the consideration provided therefore exceed 25% of the
Company's market capitalization, calculated in accordance with MI
61-101. The Company did not file a material change report 21 days
before the closing of the Series A Conversion since details were
not settled until shortly prior to closing and the Company wished
to complete such transactions as soon as possible.
The Conversion Shares acquired by DHCT upon the
Series A Conversion, the Dividend Shares to be acquired by DHCT
upon conversion of the accretive dividend payable on the Series A
Shares and the common shares acquired by DHCT upon the Warrant
Exercise, total 23,446,153 common shares, representing
approximately 6.0% of the presently issued and outstanding common
shares.
Immediately prior to the Series A Conversion and
Warrant Exercise, DHCT owned (i) 68,264,012 common shares of Eguana
representing approximately 18.45% of the then issued and
outstanding common shares of Eguana, (ii) 434,860 Series A Shares,
representing 100% of the Series A Shares, (iii) 1 Series 8 First
Preferred Share of Eguana, representing 100% of the issued and
outstanding Series 8 First Preferred Shares of Eguana; and (iv)
4,000,000 Warrants.
Following the Series A Conversion and Warrant
Exercise, and following the issuance of the Dividend Shares, DHCT
will own (i) 91,710,165 common shares of Eguana representing
approximately 23.3% of the presently issued and outstanding common
shares of Eguana, and (ii) 1 Series 8 First Preferred Share of
Eguana, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding Series 8
First Preferred Shares of Eguana.
DHCT acquired the Conversion Shares and will
acquire the Dividend Shares as set out above, and may acquire
further common shares of the Company or other securities of the
Company, or dispose of its holdings of common shares of the Company
or other securities of the Company, both as investment conditions
warrant. This news release is being disseminated pursuant to Part 3
