Solarvest BioEnergy Inc.

Vancouver, B.C. - TheNewswire - March 26, 2021  –  Solarvest BioEnergy Inc. (“Solarvest”, or the “Company”) (TSX-V:SVS), (“Solarvest” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that, due to unprecedented investor demand, it has increased the maximum offering size of a previously announced non-brokered private placement to 9,000,000 units at a price of $0.25 per unit for gross proceeds of up to $2,250,000. On March 17, 2021, the Company has announced its intention to conduct a private placement for up to 8,000,000 units for gross proceeds of $2,000,000.

 

Over subscriptions were originally to be handled through a pro rata allocation but, due to investor demand, the Company has elected to increase the size of offering to so that all subscriptions are filled in  their entirety.

Each unit consists of one common share and one whole share purchase warrant.  Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.35 per share for a period of one (1) year following closing provided that if the closing price of the common shares (or the closing bid, if no sales were reported on a trading day) is greater than $0.70 for 20 consecutive trading days, the Company may accelerate the expiry of the warrants.

All securities issued pursuant to this financing are subject to a four-month-and-one-day hold period under applicable Canadian securities legislation. The Company may pay finders' fees to qualified finders in connection with this financing. Closing is subject to TSX Venture Exchange consent.
