Aegis provides update on previously announced private placement
VANCOUVER, March 11 /CNW/ - Aegis Investment Management (Golf) Inc. ("Aegis" or "the Company") (TSX-V:AIM) announced today that it will be extending the closing date on the non-brokered private placement announced on December 31, 2009 and extended on February 4, 2010 of up to 3,000,000 common shares, at a price of $0.50 per share, for gross total proceeds of $1.5 million.
The Company is in receipt of an irrevocable subscription agreement from a single investor for all of the common shares offered pursuant to the private placement. However, the subscriber has advised the Company that he expects to fund the subscription price out of certain monies that are currently being held in escrow in connection with another transaction unrelated to the Company, and that he expects those funds to be released from escrow no later than March 31, 2010.
Closing of the private placement is expected to occur shortly after the funds are released from escrow, subject to final acceptance of the private placement by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), which in turn, is conditional upon receipt by the Exchange of the final private placement documentation required pursuant to Exchange Policy 4.1. The Exchange has conditionally accepted the private placement and, in light of the escrow arrangements disclosed by the subscriber to the Company, has indicated that it has no objection to an extension to the deadline for filing final private placement documentation (including the balance of the filing fee) to April 5, 2010. The Exchange, in its discretion, may refuse to provide final acceptance, and has also reserved the right to review the price of the private placement at the time the final documentation is filed if a material change in the affairs of the Company is announced during the filing period. The Company will issue a press release upon closing, including the expiry date of the hold period for the common shares to be issued pursuant to the private placement.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the private placement for franchise marketing, debt repayment and general working capital.
