Planet Based Foods Global Inc. , known as PBFG, a company offering a diverse range of hemp-based food alternatives, is excited to declare the successful conclusion of the second and final portion of its previously announced private placement. The non-brokered private placement involved the issuance of 67 convertible debenture units (referred to as “Units”) at a price of $1,000 per Unit, contributing to a total gross aggregate amount of up to CAD $67,000. This phase, termed the “Second Tranche Closing,” follows the company’s issuance of 274 Units during both tranches of the private placement, culminating in total gross proceeds of $341,000.
Each Unit from the Second Tranche Closing consists of:
(i) $1,000 principal value of 10% unsecured convertible debentures (“Convertible Debentures”) issued by the Company, featuring a maturity date of 18 months from the issuance date;
(ii) 5,000 subordinate voting share purchase warrants of the Company (individually known as a “Warrant”).
Holders of the Convertible Debentures can choose to convert them into fully-paid subordinate voting shares of the Company (“Shares”) anytime before the Maturity Date, at a conversion rate of $0.10 per Share. Similarly, each Warrant can be exercised to acquire one Share at an exercise price of $0.20 within a 24-month period from the issuance date.
The proceeds from the Second Tranche Closing will be allocated for general working capital and corporate objectives. All securities released in connection with this phase will be subject to a four-month and one-day holding period, adhering to applicable securities regulations.
