MONTREAL, Feb. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ – Ortho Regenerative Technologies Inc. (CSE: ORTH) (OTC: ORTIF) (“Ortho” or the “Company“), a clinical-stage orthobiologics company focused on the development of novel soft tissue repair regenerative technologies, announced today a non-brokered private placement of units for maximum gross proceeds of $3.0 million (the “Offering”).
Each Unit will be priced at $0.30 consisting of one (1) common share (a “Share”) and one (1) Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant is exercisable into one (1) Share in the capital of the Company (a “Warrant Share”) at the price of $0.50 per Warrant Share for a period of 48 months from closing.
If the daily VWAP over any ten (10) consecutive trading days is greater or equal to $1.25, the Company may give notice to the Warrant holder, at any time after the statutory 4-month hold period, that it must exercise its remaining Warrants within a period of 30-days from the date of receipt of the notice, failing which the Warrants will automatically expire. The “VWAP” is the average of the volume weighted average market price of the Company’s Common Shares on a single day. 
Net proceeds of the Offering will be used for the ORTHO-R Phase I/II US Clinical trial, and general corporate purposes.
The Common Shares and the Warrants will be subject to a statutory 4-months hold period under the applicable securities laws and in such case the certificates evidencing the Shares and the Warrants will bear a legend to that effect, as applicable.
Closing of the Private Placement is expected to occur on or about February 28, 2022, and is subject to certain conditions, including but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals, including the approval of the CSE.
The Units will be offered and sold by private placement (i) in Canada to “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation 45-106 respecting Prospectus Exemptions and other exempt purchasers in each province of Canada (ii) in the United States on a private placement basis only under Regulation D, Rule 144A or other available U.S. registration exemptions and (iii) jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States, in each case in accordance with all applicable laws provided that no prospectus, registration statement or similar document is required to be filed in such jurisdiction and the Corporation does not thereafter become subject to continuous disclosure obligations in such jurisdictions.
Although the Offering is non-brokered, the Company will pay finders’ fee of 7% of the gross proceeds raised from Accredited Investors introduced to the Company by Finder, payable in cash; and Finder’s Warrants equal to 7 % of the number of Units issued to Accredited Investors introduced to the Company by Finder, each Finder’s Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Common Share at a purchase price of $0.50 for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance of the Finder’s Warrants.
