ATW Tech Announces Closing of Previously Announced Private Placement



ATW Tech Inc.
 

Montreal QC - TheNewswire  - December 20, 2022 - ATW Tech Inc. (the "Company" or "ATW Tech") (TSXV:ATW) is pleased to announce the closing of the non-brokered private placement previously announced on November 15, 2022 (the "Private Placement").

Pursuant to the Private Placement, ATW Tech issued 10,700,000 units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of $0.05 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $535,000. Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one common share purchase warrant giving the holder the right to subscribe for one Common Share at a price of $0.08 for a period of 36 months following the closing date. The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used by ATW Tech, for its own benefit and that of its subsidiaries, to support its acquisition projects, development projects and to finance its current operations.

The Private Placement constitutes a "related party transaction", as such term is defined by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), given that some insiders, such as senior officers and directors of the Company, subscribed for an aggregate of up to 3,400,000 Units. The Company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, given that the fair market value of the participation in the Private Placement by certain insiders does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Private Placement has been approved by the independent directors of the Company. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the Private Placement more than 21 days before the expected closing date of the Private Placement for sound business reasons and to ensure the closing of the Private Placement in a timeframe consistent with usual market practice for transactions of this nature.

The Shares issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a period of restricted trading of four months, in accordance with the applicable securities legislation. In addition, the Private Placement is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its regulation services provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
