FRX Innovations Inc. Announces Close of Non-Brokered Private Placement



FRX Innovations Inc
   

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – TheNewswire - March 1, 2024: FRX Innovations (TSXV:FRXI) (FSE:W2A.F) (OTC QB: FRXIF) (“FRX” or the “Company”), a leader in eco-friendly flame-retardant solutions (Nofia®), announces the close of a non-brokered private placement offering (the "Offering") of 18,906,266  units of the Company ("Units") at a price per Unit of $0.05 for aggregate gross proceeds of $945,313.

 

Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a "Unit Share") and one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole such warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a 100% price premium of $0.10 at any time on or before the 24-month anniversary of the date of closing.  

 

The funds will be used for general working capital, but in particular to provide the necessary resources to react to surging demand for Nofia® to be manufactured at the Company’s Antwerp plant.

 

“FRX started 2024 with a strong order book which more than tripled through the end of February.  This year promises to be an exciting one for FRX as the January 1, 2025, deadline for the elimination of brominated flame retardants in the outside of consumer electronics applications is fast approaching.  We are in addition making rapid progress in automotive, and coated textiles as well as returning to growth in our traditional markets of PET fibers, foam and film,” said Marc Lebel FRX CEO.  “For instance, Nofia® has recently been adopted by a major international chemical company in what we believe is EV charging cables, an application expected to grow at a rate of 16.7%1, reaching US $3.9B1 by 2030.  This new business is part of the orders received since the start of January and is an excellent example of the value-added properties possible with Nofia,” Lebel added.
