Tokens.com Inc. (“
Tokens”) and COIN Hodl Inc.
(TSXV: COIN) (“
COIN”) are pleased to announce the
closing of Tokens’ previously announced private placement, pursuant
to which it raised aggregate gross proceeds of $25.0 million from
the sale of subscription receipts of Tokens (each, a
“
Subscription Receipt”) at a price of $2.35 per
Subscription Receipt (the “
Offering”). The
Offering was comprised of: (i) a brokered private placement of
8,821,431 Subscription Receipts for aggregate gross proceeds of
$20.73 million that closed on March 10, 2021 (the “
Brokered
Financing”), and (ii) a non-brokered private placement of
1,816,929 Subscription Receipts for aggregate gross proceeds of
$4.27 million that closed on March 16, 2021. The Brokered Financing
was led by Stifel GMP and Canaccord Genuity Corp. (together, the
“
Co-Lead Agents”), on behalf of a syndicate of
agents that included PowerOne Capital Markets, Echelon Wealth
Partners, Eventus Capital Corp., Richardson Wealth, Gravitas
Securities and Regent Capital Partners (collectively with the
Co-Lead Agents, the “
Agents”), and was conducted
pursuant to the terms of an agency agreement dated March 10, 2021
(the “
Agency Agreement”) among Tokens, COIN and
the Agents. The Offering is the concurrent financing in connection
with the previously announced reverse takeover of COIN by Tokens
(the “
Transaction”).
Andrew Kiguel, Chief Executive Officer of
Tokens, commented, “As Proof-of-Stake technology increasingly
becomes the dominant and environmentally friendly model in the
global crypto ecosystem, it is the ideal time to deploy capital
into networks that build Decentralized Finance applications and
Non-Fungible-Token market places. The completion of the Offering,
that included several institutional investors, validates our
business plan and gets us closer to being publicly traded.”
The gross proceeds of the Offering, less 50% of
the Agents’ cash commission and advisory fees in connection with
the Offering (as further described below), and the Agents’ expenses
incurred to March 10, 2021 (the “Escrowed
Proceeds”), have been deposited into escrow with TSX Trust
Company, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”),
pursuant to the terms of a subscription receipt agreement dated
March 10, 2021 (the “Subscription Receipt
Agreement”) among Tokens, the Escrow Agent and the Co-Lead
Agents, pending satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions (as
defined in the Subscription Receipt Agreement), which include that
all conditions precedent to the closing of the Transaction be
satisfied or waived.
Upon the satisfaction or waiver of the Escrow
Release Conditions, provided that the Escrow Release Conditions are
satisfied prior to July 8, 2021 (the “Deadline”),
the Escrowed Proceeds will be released by the Escrow Agent to
Tokens, and each Subscription Receipt will automatically convert,
for no additional consideration, into one Class A common share in
the capital of Tokens (each, a “Tokens Share”).
All Tokens Shares will subsequently be exchanged for common shares
in the capital of COIN in connection with the closing of the
Transaction. If the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied by
the Deadline, or the Transaction is earlier terminated, the
Escrowed Proceeds will be returned to subscribers.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agency Agreement,
Tokens: (i) agreed to pay the Agents a cash commission and advisory
fee in the aggregate amount of $1.35 million, and (ii) issued the
Agents an aggregate of 566,672 compensation options, each of which
is exercisable into one Tokens Share at a price of $2.35 per Tokens
Share for a period of 24 months following the escrow release
date.

The Subscription Receipts, and the Tokens Shares
issuable on conversion of the Subscription Receipts, will be
subject to a hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws
until the date that is four months and a day after the later of:
(i) the applicable closing date of the Offering, and (ii) the date
Tokens becomes a reporting issuer in any province or territory of
Canada. None of the securities to be issued in connection with the
