PART I

 

INFORMATION REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS

 

This short form prospectus is a base shelf prospectus. This short form base shelf prospectus has been filed under legislation in each of the provinces of British Columbia, Ontario and Saskatchewan that permits certain information about these securities to be determined after this short form base shelf prospectus has become final and that permits the omission from this short form base shelf prospectus of that information. The legislation requires the delivery to purchasers of a prospectus supplement containing the omitted information within a specified period of time after agreeing to purchase any of these securities.

 

Information contained herein is subject to completion or amendment. A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission but is not yet effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This prospectus shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.

 

No securities regulatory authority has expressed an opinion about these securities and it is an offence to claim otherwise. This short form base shelf prospectus constitutes a public offering of these securities only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale and therein only by persons permitted to sell such securities.

 

Information has been incorporated by reference in this short form base shelf prospectus from documents filed with securities commissions or similar authorities in Canada. Copies of the documents incorporated herein by reference may be obtained on request without charge from the Corporate Secretary of Draganfly Inc. at 2108 St. George Avenue, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, S7M 0K7, telephone 1-800-979-9794, and are also available electronically at www.sedar.com.

This short form base shelf prospectus (the “Prospectus”) relates to the offering for sale by Draganfly Inc. (the “Company” or “Draganfly”) from time to time, during the 25-month period that this Prospectus, including any amendments hereto, remains valid, of up to $200,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies based on the applicable exchange rate at the time of the offering) in the aggregate of: (i) common shares (“Common Shares”) in the capital of the Company; (ii) preferred shares of the Company of any series (“Preferred Shares”); (iii) warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase other Securities (as defined below); (iv) subscription receipts (“Subscription Receipts”) convertible into other Securities; and (v) units (“Units”) comprised of one or more of any of the other Securities, or any combination of such Securities (the Common Shares, Warrants, Subscription Receipts and Units are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities”). The Securities may be offered in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined based on market conditions at the time of sale, including potentially by way of an “at-the-market distribution” (as defined under applicable Canadian securities legislation). and set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement (each, a “Prospectus Supplement”). In addition, the Securities may be offered and issued in consideration for the acquisition of other businesses, assets or securities by the Company or one of its subsidiaries. The consideration for any such acquisition may consist of the Securities separately, a combination of Securities or any combination of, among other things, Securities, cash and assumption of liabilities.

 

 

 

 

The Company is permitted under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the securities regulatory authorities in the ‎United States and Canada to prepare this Prospectus in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canada. ‎Prospective investors in the United States should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the ‎United States. Financial statements included or incorporated by reference herein have been prepared in accordance ‎with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ‎and are subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence standards and thus may not be comparable to ‎financial statements of United States companies.‎ The Company’s financial statements are subject to audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and our auditor is subject to both Canadian auditor independence status and the auditor independence standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

Your ability to enforce civil liabilities under the U.S. federal securities laws may be affected adversely because we are ‎organized under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, some of our officers and directors and some or all of the experts named in this ‎Prospectus are Canadian residents, and some or all of the underwriters, dealers or agents named in any Prospectus Supplement may ‎be residents of a country other than the United States, and a substantial portion of the assets of the Company and these persons are located outside of the ‎United States.‎ See “Enforcement of Civil Liabilities”.

 

Prospective investors should be aware that the acquisition, holding or disposition of the Securities may have tax consequences both in Canada and the United States. Such consequences may not be fully described in this Prospectus or any accompanying Prospectus Supplement. You should read the tax discussion in any Prospectus Supplement with respect to a particular offering and consult and rely on your own tax advisors with respect to your own particular circumstances. See “Certain Canadian and United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

 

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY CANADIAN SECURITIES REGULATOR APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.‎

 

All shelf information permitted under applicable laws to be omitted from this Prospectus will be contained in one or more Prospectus Supplements that will be delivered to purchasers together with this Prospectus except in cases where an exemption from such delivery has been obtained. Each Prospectus Supplement will be incorporated by reference into this Prospectus for the purposes of securities legislation as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the Securities to which the Prospectus Supplement pertains.

 

The specific terms of any Securities offered will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement including, where applicable: (i) in the case of Common Shares, the number of Common Shares offered, the offering price, whether the Common Shares are being offered for cash, and any other terms specific to the Common Shares offered; (ii) in the case of Preferred ‎Shares, the designation of the particular class and, if applicable, series, the number of shares offered, the offering price, the ‎currency, dividend rate, if any, and any other terms specific to the Preferred Shares being offered; (iii) in the case of Warrants, the number of Warrants being offered, the offering price, the designation, number and terms of the other Securities purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, and any procedures that will result in the adjustment of those numbers, the exercise price, the dates and periods of exercise, whether the Warrants are being offered for cash, and any other terms specific to the Warrants offered; (iv) in the case of Subscription Receipts, the number of Subscription Receipts being offered, the offering price, the terms, conditions and procedures for the conversion of the Subscription Receipts into other Securities, the designation, number and terms of such other Securities, whether the Subscription Receipts are being offered for cash, and any other terms specific to the Subscription Receipts offered; and (v) in the case of Units, the number of Units being offered, the offering price, the number and terms of the Securities comprising the Units, whether the Units are being offered for cash, and any other terms specific to the Units offered. A Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities may include terms pertaining to the Securities being offered thereunder that are not within the terms and parameters described in this Prospectus. Where required by statute, regulation or policy, and where the Securities are offered in currencies other than Canadian dollars, appropriate disclosure of foreign exchange rates applicable to the Securities will be included in the Prospectus Supplement describing the Securities.

 

ii

 

 

Prospective investors should be aware that the purchase of any Securities may have tax consequences that may not be fully described in this Prospectus or in any Prospectus Supplement, and should carefully review the tax discussion, if any, in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and in any event consult with their own tax advisers before purchasing any of the Securities.

 

No underwriter or agent has been involved in the preparation of this Prospectus or performed any review of the contents of this Prospectus.

 

The Company may offer and sell the Securities to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals, and may also sell directly to one or more purchasers or through agents or pursuant to applicable statutory exemptions. See “Plan of Distribution”. The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify each underwriter, dealer or agent, as the case may be, engaged by the Company in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities, and will set forth the terms of the offering of such Securities, including, to the extent applicable, any fees, discounts or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering, the method of distribution of the Securities, the initial issue price (in the event that the offering is a fixed price distribution), the proceeds that the Company will, or expects to receive and any other material terms of the plan of distribution.

 

The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices or at non-fixed prices. If offered on a non-fixed price basis, the Securities may be offered at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices determined by reference to the prevailing price of a specified security in a specified market or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers, in which case the compensation payable to an underwriter, dealer or agent in connection with any such sale will be decreased by the amount, if any, by which the aggregate price paid for Securities by the purchasers is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriter, dealer or agent to the Company. The price at which the Securities will be offered and sold may vary from purchaser to purchaser and during the period of distribution.

 

This Prospectus may qualify an “at-the-market distribution”.

 

In connection with any offering of Securities, other than an “at-the-market distribution” (as defined under applicable Canadian securities legislation), unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement, the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Securities at a level other than those which otherwise might prevail on the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time. A purchaser who acquires Securities forming part of the underwriters’, dealers’ or agents’ over-allocation position acquires those Securities under this Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement relating to the particular offering of Securities, regardless of whether the over-allocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the over-allotment option or secondary market purchases. See “Plan of Distribution”. No underwriter or dealer involved in an “at-the-market distribution” under this Prospectus, no affiliate of such an underwriter or dealer and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such underwriter or dealer will over-allot Securities in connection with such distribution or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities.

 

The issued and outstanding Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) under the symbol “DPRO”, on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “DPRO”, and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (the “FSE”) under the symbol “3U8A”.

 

iii

 

 

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, each series or issue of Securities (other than Common Shares) will not be listed on any securities exchange. Accordingly, there is currently no market through which the Securities (other than Common Shares) may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. See “Risk Factors”.

 

An investment in the Securities of the Company is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Readers should carefully review and evaluate the risk factors contained in this Prospectus, the applicable Prospectus Supplement and in the documents incorporated by reference herein before purchasing any Securities. See “Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors”.

 

The Company is not making an offer of the Securities in any jurisdiction where such offer is not permitted.

 

Andrew Hill Card Jr., John M. Mitnick and Julie Myers Wood are members of the board of the ‎Company, all reside outside of Canada and have appointed DLA Piper (Canada) LLP, 2800 Park Place, 666 Burrard St, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2Z7, Canada for service ‎of process in Canada. Purchasers are advised that it may not be possible for investors to enforce judgments obtained in Canada against any person that resides outside of Canada, even if the party has appointed an agent for service of process. See “Agent for Service of Process”.‎

 

Unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement relating to any Securities offered, certain legal matters in connection with the offering of Securities may be passed upon on behalf of Draganfly by DLA Piper (Canada) LLP as to legal matters relating to Canadian law and, if governed by United States law, by Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP as to matters relating to United States law.

 

The Company’s head office is located at 2108 St. George Avenue, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, S7M 0K7, and the registered office is located at Suite 2800, Park Place, 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 2Z7.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

 

You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and any ‎applicable Prospectus Supplement. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different or additional information. ‎If anyone provides you with different or additional information, you should not rely on it. We are not making an ‎offer to sell or seeking an offer to buy the securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus in any jurisdiction where the ‎offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information contained in this Prospectus and any ‎applicable Prospectus Supplement is accurate only as of the date on the front of such document and that ‎information contained in any document incorporated by reference is accurate only as of the date of that document, ‎regardless of the time of delivery of this Prospectus or any applicable Prospectus Supplement or of any sale of our Securities pursuant thereto. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed ‎since those dates.‎

 

Market data and certain industry forecasts used in this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement, and ‎the documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement, were ‎obtained from market research, publicly available information and industry publications. We believe that these ‎sources are generally reliable, but the accuracy and completeness of this information is not guaranteed. We have not ‎independently verified such information, and we do not make any representation as to the accuracy of such ‎information.‎

 

The Company prepares and reports its consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS. However, this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein may make reference to certain non-IFRS measures including key ‎performance indicators used by management. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS ‎and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable ‎to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional ‎information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company’s results of ‎operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in ‎isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial information reported under IFRS. The ‎Company uses non-IFRS measures including, but not limited to, “gross margins” and “working capital” which may be calculated ‎differently by other companies. These non-IFRS measures and metrics are used to provide investors with ‎supplemental measures of the Company’s operating performance and liquidity and thus highlight trends in the Company’s ‎business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. For ‎definitions and reconciliations of these non-IFRS measures to the relevant reported measures, please ‎‎see ‎the “Non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures”‎ section of the Company’s latest management’s discussion and analysis incorporated by reference herein.

 

In this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement, unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we”, “us”, ‎‎“our” or similar terms, as well as references to the “Company” or “Draganfly”, refer to Draganfly Inc. ‎together, where context requires, with our subsidiaries.‎

 

CURRENCY PRESENTATION AND EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION

 

Unless otherwise noted herein and in the documents incorporated by reference, all dollar amounts refer to lawful currency of Canada. All references to “US$” or “U.S. dollars” are to the currency of the United States. On June 29, 2023, the Bank of Canada daily average rate of exchange was US$1.00 = C$1.3255 or C$1.00 = US$0.7544.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain certain “forward-looking statements” and “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, and other future conditions. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “envision,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue,” “contemplate” and other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements in this Prospectus, any Prospectus Supplement or the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to:

 

the intentions, plans and future actions of the Company;
statements relating to the business and future activities of the ‎Company;
anticipated developments in operations of the Company;
market position, ability to compete and future ‎financial or operating performance of the Company;
the timing and amount of funding required to execute the ‎Company’s business plans;
capital expenditures;
the effect on the Company of any changes to existing or new ‎legislation or policy or government regulation;
‎the availability of labour;
requirements for additional capital;
goals, strategies and future ‎growth;
the adequacy of financial resources;
expectations regarding revenues, ‎expenses and anticipated cash needs‎; and
‎the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the business and operations of the Company.

 

Although we base the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus on assumptions that we believe are reasonable, we caution you that actual results and developments (including our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate) may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus. In addition, even if results and developments are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus, those results and developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. Certain assumptions made in preparing the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus include:

 

the Company’s ability to implement its growth strategies;
the Company’s competitive advantages;
the development of new products and services;
the Company’s ability to obtain and maintain financing on acceptable terms;
the impact of competition;
changes in laws, rules and regulations;
the Company’s ability to maintain and renew required licences;
the Company’s ability to maintain good business relationships with its customers, distributors, suppliers and other strategic partners;
the Company’s ability to protect intellectual property;
the Company’s ability to manage and integrate acquisitions;
the Company’s ability to retain key personnel; and
the absence of material adverse changes in the industry or Canadian or global economy, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors set forth below and elsewhere in this Prospectus:

 

a history of losses;
dilution as a result of future sale of Common Shares or other securities;‎
discretion in the use of net proceeds from the sale of Securities;

 

2

 

 

high level of price volatility of the Common Shares;
increased research and development costs and reduced profitability as a result;‎
lack of outside funding available for research and development;‎
adoption of new business models could fail to produce any financial returns;‎
operational risks;
evolving market and difficulty of evaluation future prospects;‎
competition in the industry;
rapid technological change in the industry‎; ‎
failure to obtain or maintain required regulatory approvals‎;
shipping products outside of Canada and approvals required for exporting;‎
regulatory regime the Company operates in;‎
risk associated with acquisitions;‎
reliance on management and key employees;‎
growth in the number of personnel straining resources;‎
uncertainty and adverse changes in the economy;‎‎
market-based financial risks associated with its operations;‎
risks related to COVID-19‎ pandemic;‎
the conflict between Russia and Ukraine;
negative macroeconomic and geopolitical trends;
risks associated with foreign operations in other countries‎;
Canadian tax risks;‎
supply chain risks;‎
weather-related risks on products;‎
products may be subject to the recall or return;‎
having defective products‎;‎‎
negative consumer perception;
failure to adequately market products;
electronic communication security risks;‎
‎‎possibility of data breaches and inadequacy of consumer protection and data privacy policies;‎
reliance on business partners‎;
failure to protect and maintain and the consequential loss of intellectual property rights‎;
obtaining and maintaining the Company’s patent protection;
potential litigation;‎
intellectual property rights protection;‎
failure to adhere to financial reporting obligations and other public company ‎requirements;‎
limited operating experience as a publicly traded company in the U.S;‎
goodwill and other intangible assets comprising of significant portion of value; ‎
directors and officers conflicts of interest;‎
high level of price and volume volatility in the capital markets;
lack of active trading market on ‎‎the CSE and/or the Nasdaq;
no dividends for the foreseeable future‎;‎
United States investors may not be able to obtain enforcement of civil liabilities against us;‎
emerging growth company making Company ‎less attractive to ‎investors;
increased costs as a result of operating as a public company in the United States;‎
limited publicly available information relative to U.S. domestic issuers given classification as a foreign private issuer; and
the other factors in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the AIF (as defined herein) and other filings made by the Company with Canadian and U.S. securities authorities.

 

These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read with the other cautionary statements in this Prospectus. Although we have attempted to identify important risk factors, there may be other risk factors not presently known to us or that we presently believe are not material that could also cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus. If any of the these risks materialize, or if any of the above assumptions underlying forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results and developments may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus.

 

3

 

 

Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place substantial weight or undue reliance on these forward-looking statements when making an investment decision. Any forward-looking statement that we make in this Prospectus speaks only as of the date of this Prospectus, and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of those statements to reflect future events or developments. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless specifically expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

 

WHERE TO FIND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

This Prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form F-10 (the “U.S. Registration Statement”) that the Company has filed with the SEC under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), relating to the Securities. Under the U.S. Registration Statement, the Company may, from time to time, sell Securities described in this Prospectus in one or more offerings up to an aggregate offering amount of US$200,000,000. This Prospectus, which forms a part of the U.S. Registration Statement, provides you with a general description of the Securities that the Company may offer and does not contain all of the information contained in the U.S. Registration Statement, certain items of which are contained in the exhibits to the U.S. Registration Statement, as permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC. See “Documents Filed as Part of the U.S. Registration Statement.” Statements included or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus about the contents of any contract, agreement or other documents referred to are not necessarily complete, and in each instance, you should refer to the exhibits for a complete description of the matter involved. Each such statement is qualified in its entirety by such reference. Each time the Company sells Securities under the U.S. Registration Statement, the Company will provide a Prospectus Supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. The Prospectus Supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this Prospectus. Before you invest, you should read both this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement together with additional information described under the heading “Documents Incorporated by Reference.” This Prospectus does not contain all of the information set forth in the U.S. Registration Statement, certain parts of which are omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, or the schedules or exhibits that are part of the U.S. Registration Statement. Investors in the United States should refer to the U.S. Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto for further information with respect to the Company and the Securities.

 

We are required to file with the securities commission or authority in each of the applicable provinces of Canada ‎annual and interim reports, material change reports and other information. In addition, we are subject to the ‎informational requirements of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “U.S. Exchange ‎Act”), and, in accordance with the U.S. Exchange Act, we also file reports with, and furnish other information to, the ‎SEC. Under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States and Canada, these reports and ‎other information (including financial information) may be prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements ‎of Canada, which differ in certain respects from those in the United States. As a foreign private issuer, we are ‎exempt from the rules under the U.S. Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our ‎officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery ‎provisions contained in Section 16 of the U.S. Exchange Act. In addition, we may not be required to publish financial ‎statements as promptly as U.S. companies.‎

 

Reports and other information filed by us with, or furnished to, the SEC may be accessed on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. You may read and download any public document that we have filed with securities commission or similar regulatory authorities in Canada, on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The Company may from time to time during the 25-month period that this Prospectus, including any amendments hereto, remains valid, offer for sale and issue up to an aggregate of $200,000,000 in Securities hereunder.

 

This Prospectus does not constitute an offering of Securities and there is no certainty that an offering of Securities will be complete during the 25-month qualification period of this Prospectus. Pursuant to an underwriting agreement between the Company and Aegis Capital Corp. dated March 29, 2023, the Company agreed to not offer, sell, issuer or otherwise issue Securities or take any steps related to an offering until July 28, 2023.

 

The Company may offer and sell the Securities to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals, and may also sell directly to one or more purchasers or through agents or pursuant to applicable statutory exemptions. The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify each underwriter, dealer or agent, as the case may be, engaged by the Company in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities, and will set forth the terms of the offering of such Securities, including, to the extent applicable, any fees, discounts or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering, the method of distribution of the Securities, the initial issue price, the proceeds that the Company will receive and any other material terms of the plan of distribution. Any initial offering price and discounts, concessions or commissions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

 

In addition, the Securities may be offered and issued in consideration for the acquisition of other businesses, assets or securities by the Company or one of its subsidiaries. The consideration for any such acquisition may consist of the Securities separately, a combination of Securities or any combination of, among other things, Securities, cash and assumption of liabilities.

 

The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices or at prices which may be changed or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing prices or at negotiated prices, including sales in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market distributions” as defined in National Instrument 44-102 - Shelf Distributions of the Canadian Securities Administrators, including sales made directly on the CSE, Nasdaq, FSE or other existing trading markets for the Common Shares. The price at which the Securities will be offered and sold may vary from purchaser to purchaser and during the period of distribution.

 

In connection with the sale of the Securities, underwriters, dealers or agents may receive compensation from the Company or from other parties, including in the form of underwriters’, dealers’ or agents’ fees, commissions or concessions. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the Securities may be deemed to be underwriters for the purposes of applicable Canadian securities legislation and any such compensation received by them from the Company and any profit on the resale of the Securities by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions.

 

12

 

 

In connection with any offering of Securities, except as otherwise set out in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities and other than in relation to an “at-the-market” distribution, the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, may over-allot or effect transactions intended to fix, stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Securities at a level other than those which otherwise might prevail on the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time.

 

Underwriters, dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled, under agreements to be entered into with the Company, to indemnification by the Company against certain liabilities, including liabilities under Canadian securities legislation and the U.S. Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, the Company in the ordinary course of business.

 

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, each series or issue of Securities (other than Common Shares) will be a new issue of Securities with no established trading market. Accordingly, there is currently no market through which the Securities (other than Common Shares) may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. See “Risk Factors”.

 

CERTAIN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

Owning any of the Securities may subject holders to tax consequences. The applicable Prospectus Supplement may describe certain Canadian federal income tax consequences to an initial investor who is a resident of Canada or a non-resident of Canada of acquiring, owning and disposing of any of the Securities offered thereunder. The applicable Prospectus Supplement may also describe certain United States federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of any of the Securities offered thereunder by an initial investor who is a U.S. Person (within the meaning of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisers prior to deciding to purchase any of the Securities.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

Before deciding to invest in any Securities, prospective investors of the Securities should consider carefully the risk factors and the other information contained and incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to a specific offering of Securities before purchasing the Securities, including those risks identified and discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the AIF, which is incorporated by reference herein. See “Documents Incorporated by Reference”.

 

An investment in the Securities offered hereunder is highly speculative and involves a high degree ‎of risk. The risks and uncertainties described or incorporated by reference herein are not the only ones the Company may face. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those that the Company is unaware of or that are currently deemed immaterial, may also become important factors that affect the Company and its business. If any such risks actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks below and in the AIF and the other information elsewhere in this Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement and consult with their professional advisers to assess any investment in the Company.

 

The Company has a history of losses.‎

 

The Company has incurred net losses since its inception. The Company cannot assure that it can ‎become profitable or avoid net losses in the future or that there will be any earnings or revenues in any ‎future quarterly or other periods. The Company expects that its operating expenses will increase as it ‎grows its business, including expending substantial resources for research, development and marketing. ‎As a result, any decrease or delay in generating revenues could result in material operating losses.

13

 

 

A shareholder’s holding in the Company may be diluted if the Company issues additional Common ‎Shares or other securities in the future.‎

 

The Company may issue additional Common Shares or other securities in the future, which may dilute a ‎shareholder’s holding in the Company. ‎The Company’s articles permit the issuance of an unlimited ‎number of Common Shares, and shareholders have no pre-emptive rights in connection with further ‎issuances of any securities. The directors of the Company have the discretion to ‎determine if an ‎issuance of Common Shares or other securities is warranted, the price at which any such securities are ‎issued and the other ‎terms of issue of Common Shares or securities. In addition, the Company may ‎issue additional Common Shares upon the exercise of incentive stock options to ‎acquire Common ‎Shares under its share compensation plan or upon the exercise or conversion of other outstanding convertible securities of the Company, which will result in further dilution to shareholders. In addition, ‎the issuance of Common Shares or other securities in any potential ‎future acquisitions, if any, may also ‎result in further dilution to shareholder interests.‎

 

An investment in the Securities is not guaranteed and may result in the loss of an investor’s entire investment.

 

There is no guarantee that any investment in the Securities will earn any positive return in the short term or long term. Any investment in the Securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk and should be undertaken only by investors whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. An investment in the Securities is appropriate only for investors who have the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their investment.

 

We will have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from the sale of Securities and may not use them to effectively manage our business.

 

Management of the Company will have broad discretion with respect to the application of net proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Securities under this Prospectus or a future Prospectus Supplement and may spend such proceeds in ways that do not improve the Company’s results of operations or enhance the value of the Common Shares or its other securities issued and outstanding from time to time. Any failure by management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or cause the price of the issued and outstanding securities of the Company to decline.

 

The market price of the Common Shares may be highly volatile.

 

The market price of the Common Shares may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations ‎in response to a number of factors that are beyond our control, including but not limited ‎to‎:

 

  revenue or results of operations in any quarter failing to meet the expectations, published or otherwise, of ‎the investment community;‎
  actual or anticipated changes or fluctuations in our results of operations;‎
  announcements by us or our competitors of new products or new or terminated significant contracts, ‎commercial relationships or capital commitments;‎
  rumors and market speculation involving us or other companies in our industry;‎
  changes in our executive management team or the composition of the board of directors of the Company;‎
  fluctuations in the share prices of other companies in the technology and emerging growth sectors;‎

 

14

 

 

  general market conditions and macroeconomic trends driven by factors outside our control, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and/or geopolitical conflicts, including supply chain disruptions, market volatility, inflation, and labor challenges, among other factors;
  actual or anticipated developments in our business or our competitors’ businesses or the competitive ‎landscape generally;‎
  litigation involving us, our industry or both, or investigations by regulators into our operations or those of ‎competitors;‎
  announced or completed acquisitions of businesses or technologies by us or our competitors;‎
  new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our ‎business;‎
  shareholder activism and related publicity;‎
  foreign exchange rates; and
  other risk factors as set out in this Prospectus and in the documents incorporated by ‎reference into this Prospectus.‎

 

If the market price of our Common Shares drops significantly, shareholders could institute securities class action ‎lawsuits against us, regardless of the merits of such claims. Such a lawsuit could cause us to incur substantial ‎costs and could divert the time and attention of our management and other resources from our business. This ‎could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.‎

 

There is no guarantee that an active trading market for our Common Shares will be maintained on ‎‎the CSE and/or the Nasdaq. Investors may not be able to sell their Common Shares quickly or at the ‎‎latest market price if the trading in our Common Shares is not active‎.

 

There is currently no market through which the Securities, other than the Common Shares, may be sold and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, none of the Warrants, Subscription Receipts or Units will be listed on any securities or stock exchange or any automated dealer quotation system. As a consequence, purchasers may not be able to resell Warrants, Subscription Receipts or Units purchased under this Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement. This may affect the pricing of the Securities, other than the Common Shares, in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of these securities and the extent of issuer regulation. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Securities, other than the Common Shares, will ever develop or, if developed, that any such market, including for the Common Shares, will be sustained.

 

Our Common Shares are currently listed on the CSE, Nasdaq, and FSE, ‎however, our shareholders may be unable to sell significant quantities of Common Shares into the public ‎‎trading markets without a significant reduction in the price of their Common Shares, or at all and there ‎can be no guarantee that an active trading market for the Common Shares ‎may be maintained. There can ‎be no assurance that ‎there will be sufficient liquidity of our Common Shares on the trading market, and ‎that we will continue to meet ‎the listing requirements of the CSE, the Nasdaq or any other public listing ‎exchange.‎

 

United States investors may not be able to obtain enforcement of civil liabilities against us.‎

 

‎The Company is incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, and its principal executive ‎offices are located in Canada. Most of the Company’s directors and officers and most of the experts ‎named in this Prospectus reside outside of the United States and all or a substantial portion of the Company’s ‎assets and the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. Consequently, it may not ‎be possible for an investor to effect service of process within the United States on the Company or ‎those persons. Furthermore, it may not be possible for an investor to enforce judgments obtained in ‎United States courts based upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws or ‎other laws of the United States against those persons or the Company. There is doubt as to the ‎enforceability, in original actions in Canadian courts, of liabilities based upon United States federal ‎securities laws and as to the enforceability in Canadian courts of judgments of United States courts ‎obtained in actions based upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws. ‎Therefore, it may not be possible to enforce those actions against the Company, certain of the ‎Company’s directors and officers or the experts named in this Prospectus.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

 

The Company is organized under the laws of British Columbia, Canada and its principal place of business is outside the United States. The majority of the directors and officers of the Company and the experts named under “Interest of Experts” herein are resident outside of the United States and a substantial portion of the Company’s assets and the assets of such persons are located outside of the United States. Consequently, it may be difficult for United States investors to effect service of process within the United States on the Company, its directors or officers or such experts, or to realize in the United States on judgments of courts of the United States predicated on civil liabilities under the U.S. Securities Act. Investors should not assume that Canadian courts would enforce judgments of United States courts obtained in actions against the Company or such persons predicated on the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws or the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state within the United States or would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against the Company or such persons predicated on the United States federal securities or any such state securities or “blue sky” laws.

 

The Company filed with the SEC, concurrently with the U.S. Registration Statement, an appointment of agent for service of process on Form F-X. Under the Form F-X, the Company appointed C T Corporation System, with an address at 1015 15th Street N.W., Suite 1000, Washington, D.C., 20005, as its agent for service of process in the United States in connection with any investigation or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC, and any civil suit or action brought against or involving the Corporation in a United States court arising out of or related to or concerning the offering of Securities under the U.S. Registration Statement.

 

STATUTORY RIGHTS OF WITHDRAWAL AND RESCISSION

 

Securities legislation in certain of the provinces and territories of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities. This right may only be exercised within two business days after receipt or deemed receipt of a prospectus or a prospectus supplement relating to the securities purchased by a purchaser and any amendments thereto. In several of the provinces and territories, the securities legislation further provides the purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price or damages if the prospectus or a prospectus supplement relating to the securities purchased by a purchaser and any amendments thereto contain a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the purchaser, provided that such remedies for rescission, revisions of the price or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory.

 

However, purchasers of Common Shares distributed under an at-the market distribution by Draganfly do not ‎have the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase the Common Shares and do not have remedies of ‎rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages for non-delivery of the ‎prospectus, prospectus supplement, and any amendment relating to the Common Shares purchased by such ‎purchaser because the prospectus, prospectus supplement, and any amendment relating to the ‎Common Shares purchased by such purchaser will not be sent or delivered, as permitted under Part 9 of ‎National Instrument 44-102 - Shelf Distributions. ‎

 

Any remedies under securities legislation that a purchaser of Common Shares distributed under an at-the-market ‎distribution by Draganfly may have against Draganfly or its agents for rescission or, in some ‎jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages if the prospectus, prospectus supplement, and any ‎amendment relating to securities purchased by a purchaser contain a misrepresentation will remain ‎unaffected by the non-delivery of the prospectus referred to above.‎

 

A purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor. Rights and remedies may also be available to purchasers under U.S. law; purchasers may wish to consult with a U.S. lawyer for particulars of these rights.

 

In addition, original purchasers of convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Securities (unless the Securities are reasonably regarded by the Company as incidental to the applicable offering as a whole) will have a contractual right of rescission against the Company in respect of the conversion, exchange or exercise of the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Security. The contractual right of rescission will be further described in any applicable Prospectus Supplement, but will, in general, entitle such original purchasers to receive the amount paid for the applicable convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Security (and any additional amount paid upon conversion, exchange or exercise) upon surrender of the underlying Securities acquired thereby, in the event that this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended) contains a misrepresentation, provided that: (i) the conversion, exchange or exercise takes place within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Security under this Prospectus; and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Security under this Prospectus.

 

In an offering of convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Securities, investors are cautioned that the statutory right of action for damages for a misrepresentation contained in the Prospectus is limited, in certain provincial securities legislation, to the price at which the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Securities are offered to the public under the prospectus offering. This means that, under the securities legislation of certain provinces, if the purchaser pays additional amounts upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of the Security, those amounts may not be recoverable under the statutory right of action for damages that applies in those provinces. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province for the particulars of this right of action for damages or consult with a legal adviser.

PART II

 

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS

 

Indemnification of Directors and Officers 

 

Under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “BCBCA”), the Registrant may indemnify a present or former director or officer of the Registrant or another individual who acts or acted at the Registrant’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the Registrant or other entity. The Registrant may not indemnify such an individual unless the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant, or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at the Registrant’s request and in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that the individual’s conduct was lawful. With approval of a court and subject to the sentence above, the Registrant may indemnify such individuals in respect of an action by or on behalf of the Registrant or other entity to procure a judgment in its favor, to which the individual is made a party because of the individual’s association with the Registrant or other entity as described above. The Registrant may advance moneys to an individual described above for the costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding described above; however, the individual shall repay the moneys if the individual does not fulfill the conditions set out above in the second sentence under this heading. The aforementioned individuals are entitled to indemnification from the Registrant in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which the individual’s association with the Registrant or other entity as described above if the individual was not judged by the court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual described above ought to have done provided the individual fulfills the conditions set out above in the second sentence under this heading.

 

The articles of the Registrant provide that, subject to the BCBCA, the Registrant must indemnify a director, former director or alternate director of the Registrant and his or her heirs and legal personal representatives against all eligible penalties to which such person is or may be liable, and the Registrant must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in respect of that proceeding. Each director and alternate director is deemed to have contracted with the Registrant on the terms of this indemnity. In addition, the articles of the Registrant provide that, subject to any restrictions in the BCBCA, the Registrant may indemnify any person. Furthermore, The Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any person (or his or her heirs or legal personal representatives) who: (1) is or was a director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant; (2) is or was a director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation at a time when the corporation is or was an affiliate of the Registrant; (3) at the request of the Registrant, is or was a director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation or of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity; (4) at the request of the Registrant, holds or held a position equivalent to that of a director, alternate director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity; against any liability incurred by him or her as such director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent or person who holds or held such equivalent position.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
