INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT

 

On July 16, 2024, Vicinity Motor Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Placement Agent”) and a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with a single institutional investor (the “Purchaser”), relating to the issuance and sale of 4,807,692 common shares of the Company, no par value (the “Common Shares”), in a registered direct offering (the “Registered Direct Offering”), together with accompanying warrants to purchase up to 4,807,692 Common Shares (the “Common Warrants”) in a concurrent private placement (the “Concurrent Private Placement” and together with the Registered Direct Offering, the “Offering”).

 

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 4,807,692 Common Shares to the Purchaser at an offering price of $0.52 per Common Share and accompanying Common Warrant.

 

The gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering were approximately $2.5 million, before deducting Placement Agent fees and other estimated Offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

The Offering closed on July 17, 2024.

 

The Common Warrants have an exercise price of $0.64 per Common Share, are immediately exercisable and expire on July 17, 2029.

 

The Company paid the Placement Agent a cash placement fee equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds received in the Offering. In addition, the Company issued to the Placement Agent warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to 240,385 Common Shares, or 5% of the Common Shares issued in the Offering. The Placement Agent Warrants will be exercisable six months after their issuance, expire on July 17, 2029 and will have an exercise price of $0.64 per share.

 

In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to an outstanding warrant, dated March 28, 2022, to purchase up to 370,371 Common Shares held by the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Company agreed to reduce such warrant’s exercise price from $2.97 to $0.64 per Common Share and extend its term from March 28, 2025 to March 28, 2027, subject to change and approval by the TSX-V, effective upon the closing of the Offering.
