Brossard, Québec – TheNewswire - January 23, 2023 – Charbone Hydrogen Corporation (TSXV:CH) (“Charbone” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the closing of a third and final tranche of its previously announced private placement financing of units of the Company (the “Offering”) for gross proceeds of $555,400. When combined with the two previous closings, the Company has raised an aggregate of $1,197,600 pursuant to the Offering.

Each of the units offered (each a “Unit”), priced at $0.12 per Unit, was comprised of one common share of the Company (each, a “Unit Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.20 for a period of 24 months following the closing date of the Offering (the “Closing Date”). A total of 4,628,335 Units were issued pursuant to the closing of the third and final tranche of the Offering.

At the Closing Date, the Company engaged to pay a finder’s fee of $2,880 plus to issue 24,000 finder’s warrants to a registered finder in connection with sale of Units to a qualified subscriber introduced to the Company by such finder.

The Units were offered by way of the “accredited investor” exemptions under National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (in Québec, Regulation 45-106 respecting Prospectus Exemptions).

The proceeds from the third and final tranche of the Offering are intended to be used by the Company for equipment purchases in preparation of further phases of its Sorel-Tracy green hydrogen facility and for general working capital purposes.

All securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a statutory four month and one day hold period in Canada following the Closing Date.
