placement of 1,577,000 special warrants at a
price of 26 cents per special warrant, representing aggregate gross
proceeds of $410,000. Each special warrant entitles the
holder thereof to acquire at any time after the closing date of the
offering, for no additional consideration, one unit
of the company, with each unit composed of one common share
of SoMedia and one-half of one common share purchase
warrant of SoMedia. Each warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one
common share at an exercise price of 35 cents per common share for a
period of 24 months following the closing date. The offering is fully
subscribed and will close upon receipt of TSX Venture Exchange approval.
All unexercised special warrants will be deemed to be exercised, without
payment of additional consideration or further action, on the earlier
of: (i) the third business day following the day upon which SoMedia
obtains a receipt for a final prospectus
qualifying the underlying common shares, the underlying warrants and
the common shares of the company underlying the warrants from the securities regulatory authority in
each jurisdiction where the final prospectus is filed; and (ii) the date
that is four months and one day following the closing date. It is
intended that the final prospectus will be filed in Ontario, Alberta,
British Columbia and such other
jurisdictions as SoMedia may decide.
The company may pay finders' fees in connection with the offering,
subject to compliance with the policies of the regulatory authorities.
SoMedia plans to use the net proceeds from the offering for working
capital and general corporate purposes.
From the date of issue, subject to obtaining a receipt for the final
prospectus in the qualifying jurisdictions, the underlying securities
will be subject to a four-month-and-one-day hold period as required by
Canadian securities laws.
