About Special Warrants
The Special Warrants were originally issued effective on July 19, 2021 pursuant to a non-brokered private placement of 104,901,256 Special Warrants at a price of US$1.00 per Special Warrant for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately US$104.9 million. Under the terms of their governing indenture, each Special Warrant will be automatically exercised for no additional consideration into one Unit (as defined below) of the Company, subject to adjustment in certain events, on the date that is four months and one day following the closing date, being November 20, 2021. Each unit (a “Unit”) underlying a Special Warrant is comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (each, a “July Warrant”). Each July Warrant will expire on September 19, 2026, being sixty-two (62) months from the date of issuance.
Pursuant to the Company’s prior consolidation of all of its securities on a 1-for-5 basis which took effect on October 22, 2021 (the “Consolidation”), each Special Warrant became exercisable to acquire one post-Consolidation Common Share and July Warrant such that the total of Special Warrants was reduced to approximately 20,980,250. As a result of the Consolidation of the Special Warrants, the underlying July Warrants will now be exercisable to purchase one post-Consolidation Common Share at an exercise price of US$7.50 per share. Copies of the indentures and supplemental indentures governing the Special Warrants and the July Warrants are available on the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
In connection with the deemed exercise of the Special Warrants, the Company is also pleased to announce receipt of final approval for listing of the July Warrants on the NEO Exchange. The July Warrants are expected to commence trading on the NEO Exchange as of 9:30 a.m. EST on November 24, 2021 under the symbol “NETZ.WT.B”, which will allow warrant holders an opportunity to deposit their July Warrants with their brokers prior to trading commencing. The Company’s Common Shares and the Company’s existing listed Common Share purchase warrants will continue to trade on the NEO Exchange under the tickers “NETZ” and “NETZ.WT”, respectively.
Given the deemed exercise of the Special Warrants in accordance with their governing indenture, the Company will withdraw its previously filed prospectus to qualify the distribution of the underlying Common Shares and July Warrants, as it is no longer necessary.
