Emerald Health Investor to raise $15 Million for Expansion
British Columbia-based Emerald Health Therapeutics, Inc. (TSXV:EMH) (OTCQX:EMHTF) has entered an agreement with a single Canadian institutional investor for the investor to buy 3 million units at a price of $5.00, raising $15 million.
Simultaneously the investor has agreed to purchase 2 million common shares from a control person of the company at a price of $5.00 per share. This sale will close concurrently with the offering.
Each unit of the $15 million purchase consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the investor to buy one common share at $6.00 per share for 36 months following the closing.
If the closing sale price of the common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is greater than $8.00 per share for 10 consecutive trading days at any time after the closing, the company can accelerate the expiry date of the warrants to expire on the 30th day after the company gives notice, instead of 36 months after closing.
The units will be offered in all of the provinces of Canada, except Quebec. The closing date of the offering and the secondary sale is expected to be January 10, 2018.
