GURU Announces Closing of Subscription Receipt Financing
2020年10月1日 - 12:42AM
GURU Beverage Inc. (“
GURU” or the
“
Company”) is pleased to announce the closing of
the previously announced brokered private placement of 6,330,750
subscription receipts at $5.45 per receipt for gross proceeds of
$34.5 million, completed through a syndicate of agents led by
Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc., and including CIBC World Markets Inc.
and Laurentian Bank Securities Inc.
The financing was completed in anticipation of
GURU`s going public transaction by way of reverse takeover
involving Mira X Acquisition Corp. (TSXV: MIRA.P), subject to Mira
X’s shareholder approval on October 28, 2020 and other conditions
to closing of the going public transaction.
“We are extremely pleased with the strong interest
shown by institutional investors in Canada and the U.S., as well as
Canadian retail investors,” said Carl Goyette, President and CEO of
GURU. “This capital raise will support our mission to clean up the
energy drink industry, a growing industry valued at over US$15
billion(1), by expanding our presence across North America. Over
the last three years, we have more than doubled sales of our GURU
organic energy drinks in Quebec, and we intend to replicate that
success in the rest of Canada and the U.S.”
“As we prepare for our going public transaction and
embark on our new expansion journey, a number of major U.S.
conventional grocery and retail stores have already introduced our
products in their stores, and we have commitments for other
targeted launches in the rest of Canada and the U.S. for 2021. In
the meantime, we continue to invest in promoting our GURU brand
through various marketing initiatives, including the Quebec launch
in the coming weeks of a new plant-based energy drink,” added Mr.
Goyette.
In addition to the private placement, certain
shareholders of GURU will be offering and selling, on a prospectus
exempt basis, approximately $5.3 million of GURU common shares held
by them by way of a secondary offering to new investors prior to
the closing.
