NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 17, 2021 / Perk Labs Inc. (CSE:PERK) ("Perk Labs" or the "Company"), the owner of Perk Hero, the all-in-one mobile ordering, contact-free payments and loyalty app, today announced that it has established an At-The-Market Equity Program (the "ATM Program") that allows the Company to periodically issue and sell up to C$4,000,000 worth of common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Common Shares") from treasury to the public, at the Company's discretion. All Common Shares sold under the ATM Program will be sold through the Canadian Securities Exchange or another Canadian "marketplace" (as defined in National Instrument 21-101 - Marketplace Operation) upon which the Common Shares are listed, quoted or otherwise traded, at the prevailing market price at the time of sale.
Jonathan Hoyles, CEO of Perk Labs, commented: "The previous ATM Program of $2,000,000 announced on July 29, 2020 has been a successful tool providing Perk with a consistent flow of funds to execute on the intended plans and build our marketing campaign. The mobile commerce landscape in Canada and the US is incredibly fruitful, and we want to be at the forefront of its advancement. Now more than ever we feel the urgency to ramp up our marketing activities, especially as it relates to increasing the number of high-quality merchants on the app by creating targeted digital campaigns. Therefore, Perk has made a strategic decision to renew the ATM Program, preserving the flexibility of raising money through other types of financings, should the need and opportunity arise, as indicated in the Prospectus Supplement. We are looking forward to updating the market and our shareholders on the progress we are making in growing the business and raising the profile of the Company."
The volume and timing of distributions under the ATM Program, if any, will be determined in the Company's sole discretion. Distributions of the Common Shares under the ATM Program will be made pursuant to the terms of an equity distribution agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") dated February 17, 2021 entered into between the Company and Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. (the "Agent").
The ATM Program will be effective until the earlier of the (i) issuance and sale of all of the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the ATM Program or (ii) ATM Program being terminated by the Company or the Agent in accordance with the terms of the Distribution Agreement. Perk Labs intends to use the net proceeds from the ATM Program, if any, for investment in sales and marketing initiatives to attract and sign up new merchants and users to the Perk Hero App, to continue development of the Perk Hero App through a series of build-measure-learn iterations and for general working capital purposes. As Common Shares distributed under the ATM Program will be issued and sold at the prevailing market price at the time of the sale, prices may vary among purchasers during the period of the ATM Program.
The offering of Common Shares under the ATM Program is qualified by a prospectus supplement dated February 17, 2021 (the "Prospectus Supplement") to the Company's short-form base shelf prospectus dated July 17, 2020 (the "Shelf Prospectus"), which were each filed with the applicable securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. The Prospectus Supplement and the Shelf Prospectus are available under the Company's profile on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR") website at www.sedar.com. Alternatively, the Agent will send copies of the Prospectus Supplement and the Shelf Prospectus upon request by contacting: 1 Adelaide St. E, Suite 2100, Toronto, Ontario, M5C 2V9, or by email at [email protected] or by telephone at (416)-572-5523.
Borden Ladner Gervais LLP acted as legal counsel to the Company, and Goodmans LLP acted as legal counsel to the Agent.
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Common Shares, nor shall there be any sale of the Common Shares in any province, state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such province, territory, state or jurisdiction.
