Edmonton, Alberta - May 13th, 2021 - InvestorsHub NewsWire - Yorkton Equity Group Inc. ("YEG" or the "Company") (TSXV: YEG) is pleased to announce the receipt of final acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange and closing of its non-brokered private placement financing ("Private Placement") for gross proceeds of $2,825,000 or 11,300,000 units ("Units") at a price of $0.25 per Unit, which was over-subscribed by over approximately 40%.  The Private Placement was announced on March 9, 2021 and was upsized due to demand on several occasions on April 27, 2021, May 3, 2021 and May 4, 2021.

 

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Private Placement towards the purchase of the Kelowna property as announced on April 19, 2021, renovations and upgrades to the Riviera Gardens Property, soft development costs of Yorkton 108, the purchase of the Langford, Victoria Property as announced on March 9, 2021 and general working capital including pursuing new acquisition opportunities.  While the Company is securing additional financing through CMHC to complete the aforementioned acquisitions, we are pleased to announce that CMHC financing on the Kelowna property has been approved at an advantageous mortgage rate of less than 2.0% per annum for a 5 year term, and the scheduled closing of this purchase is targeted for on or before July 8, 2021 as per our lawyers.

 

Each Private Placement Unit is comprised of one (1) common share of the Company ("Common Share") and one (1) warrant ("Warrant"), whereby each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one (1) Common Share at a price of $0.40 for a period of two (2) years from the date of closing.  If after four months and one day following the date of closing, the closing price of the Common Shares is equal to or exceeds $0.60 per Common Share for twenty (20) consecutive trading days, the Company will have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants.

 

In the event of acceleration, the expiry date will be accelerated to a date that is thirty (30) days after the date that written notice has been given to the warrant holder or the date that the Company has issued a press release announcing the exercise of the acceleration right; and thereafter, no further notification will be provided by the Company to the subscribers.  The Common Shares and Warrants issued pursuant to the Private Placement shall be subject to a four (4) month hold from the date of closing.
