TORONTO, March 1, 2021 /CNW/ - Parkit Enterprise Inc.
(TSXV: PKT) ("Parkit" or the "Company"), an industrial real estate
growth vehicle and parking platform, is pleased to announce that it
has entered into an agreement with Stifel GMP and Scotiabank as
joint bookrunners and co-lead underwriters (the "Underwriters"),
pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a
bought deal private placement basis, 16,670,000 common shares
("Common Shares") of the Company at a price of $1.50 per Common Share (the "Offering Price"),
for aggregate gross proceeds of $25,005,000 (the "Offering").
The Underwriters have also been granted an option, exercisable
in whole or in part any time up to 48 hours prior to the closing
date of the Offering, to purchase for resale up to an additional
3,340,000 Common Shares at the Offering Price, for aggregate gross
proceeds to the Company of $30,015,000 in the event the Underwriters
exercise this option in full.
Concurrent with the Offering, the Company intends to issue and
sell additional Common Shares for additional gross proceeds of
approximately $5,000,000 on the same
terms as the Offering to certain insiders and subscribers
designated by the Company. This concurrent non-brokered private
placement is expected to be settled via cash subscription, asset
contribution, or a combination thereof.
The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the Offering
primarily to fund future acquisitions of strategically located
industrial properties across key markets in Canada, with a focus on the GTA+, Ottawa and Montreal. The Offering is
scheduled to close on or about March 18,
2021 (the "Closing Date") and is subject to certain
conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all
necessary approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture
Exchange.
Steven Scott, Chairman,
commented: "We are pleased to see the level of institutional
support for our industrial real estate growth strategy. Our
acquisition plans are ambitious and our pipeline continues to
grow. This additional equity financing will ensure the
Company is well positioned to execute its strategy in 2021 and
beyond."
The Common Shares will be subject to a hold period under
applicable Canadian securities laws expiring on the date that is
four months and one day following the Closing Date.
The Common Shares will be offered on a private placement basis
in all provinces and territories of Canada. The Common Shares will also be offered
in the United States on a private
placement basis pursuant to available exemptions from the
registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and in such other jurisdictions
outside of Canada and the United States, as mutually agreed by the
Company and the Underwriters, in each case in accordance with all
applicable laws.
