Registration Is for Prior Capital Raises
TAMPA, FL / ACCESSWIRE / April 12, 2019 / Taronis Technologies, Inc. ("Taronis" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: TRNX), a leading clean technology company in the renewable resources and environmental conservation industry, today announced that the Company is complying with its obligation to register certain shares of common stock underlying warrants that were granted on October 11, 2018 and on January 11, 2019, respectively, in two private placements concurrent to the registered direct offerings that occurred on those dates.
By virtue of registering the shares of common stock underlying the warrants the Company will be able to avoid trigging "cashless" exercise provisions in the warrants and thereby eliminate the possibility of unwanted dilution to its current shareholder base. The total number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants being registered is 2,640,000 shares. The exercise price of the warrants is $4.64 and, therefore, the Company does not anticipate the holders will exercise the warrants until such time as the Company's share price increases above the exercise price. The Company also filed a new shelf registration statement that would permit the issuance of new, registered shares under future S-3 eligible financings.
"We wish to clarify for the benefit of all shareholders that this registration statement process is not related to any new financings," commented Scott Mahoney, Chief Executive Officer of Taronis. "We are simply complying with the registration requirements from two prior capital raises completed in October 2018 and January 2019. If we did not take these steps to protect our shareholder interests, these warrants could potentially become cashless and cause needless dilution that would otherwise be avoided through the registration process initiated today."
