Quebec, QC / TheNewswire / November 17, 2016 - NuRAN Wireless Inc. (CSE:NUR) (“Nuran” or the “Corporation”) wishes to announce that it has closed an additional tranche of its previously announced brokered private placement of 7,058,000 at a price of $0.15 for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,058,700.15 (the “Offering”) with lead agent First Republic Capital Corporation (the “Agent”) in accordance with the terms of the agency agreement dated effective as of July 12, 2016 with the Agent. In connection with the closing of the Offering the Agent and certain sub-agents received aggregate cash commission of $54,966.01 and an aggregate of 366,440 warrants, with each warrant entitling the holder to acquire an additional common share at an exercise price of $0.15 per common share for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the closing date.
All securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day after closing. The Corporation intends to use the net proceeds (net of all fees and commissions) of the Offering for working capital purposes, business development, and general and administrative purposes. Garfinkle Biderman LLP acted as counsel for the Agent in connection with the Offering. Certain insiders of the Corporation subscribed for 350,000 shares in settlement of outstanding debt under the Offering, which is a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The participation of the insiders in the private placement was exempt from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue of the exemptions contained in paragraph (a) of Section 5.5 and paragraph (a) of Section 5.7, respectively, of MI 61-101. Insofar as it applies to interested parties (as that term is defined in MI 61-101) neither the fair market value of the shares issued nor the consideration paid for the shares pursuant to the Offering exceeded 25% of the Corporation's market capitalization. A material change report will be filed less than 21 days before the closing date of the private placement. The board of directors has determined this shorter period to be reasonable and necessary given the circumstances in order to improve the Corporation's financial condition in a timely manner.
None of the securities issued in connection with the financing will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and none of them may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state where such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.
