Vancouver, British Columbia Apr 27, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - RAYL Innovations Inc. ("RAYL" or the "Company"), pursuant to the British Columbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”) Instrument 45-535, is Canada’s FIRST and ONLY company to successfully maximize participation utilizing the Start-up Crowdfunding Registration and Prospectus Exemption (the “Exemption”).
In partnership with Vested.ca, the Company’s placement has been fully subscribed and closed on April 26, 2021, with gross proceeds of $250,000, and 263 investors. The placement was priced at $0.50 per Special Warrant.
Each Special Warrant automatically converts into one common share of the Company on a one-to-one basis: (i) at any time, at the discretion of the Company; (ii) upon the issuance by a Canadian securities regulatory authority of a receipt for a final prospectus qualifying the issuance of the common shares upon conversion of the special warrants; or (iii) on that date that is 4 months plus a day from the date of listing on a securities exchange (the “Listing Date”). The Company is paying a Portal Fee of $19,750 and 200,000 Compensation Warrants (“CWs”). The CWs are exercisable at $0.50 and have a term of 24 months from the Listing Date.
Nicholas Jeffery, RAYL’s CEO commented: “We are very excited to be the first Canadian company to maximize an offering to non-accredited investors. In keeping with RAYL’s vision; democratizing integrated technology and business tools designed by business owners for business owners; we strongly believe that ALL Canadians should be allowed to participate in growth-stage financing, not just accredited investors.” Mr. Jeffery additionally commented: “It’s with great pride that we’ve also been able to offer equity participation, through Vested.ca, to our RAYL.Affiliate sales team and the dedicated RAYL.Apptive Beta Testing Team, all of whom have been tirelessly stress-testing the RAYL.Apptive platform and business suite; this has been a unique opportunity and one we’re very thankful to Vested.ca for facilitating.”
David Patterson, Vested.ca’s CEO stated: “RAYL has leveraged our platform to complete three allocations of seed capital and shareholder board lot allocations, anticipating an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) later in the year. Vested.ca allowed for non-accredited investors such as RAYL’s Affiliate and Testing Team to participate in the Company at an early stage, which is an incredibly inclusive way to start the enterprise. It sets a new record for the Canadian crowdfunding platform and signals great things to come.”
Following the Company’s three rounds of Special Warrant Board Lot Distribution by way of Vested.ca and equity financing directly with the Company, RAYL currently has a broad distribution, anticipating more than 400 security holders providing an excellent shareholder base for the Company upon closing of its planned IPO with the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) H2-2021.
