STORAGEVAULT CANADA INC. ("StorageVault" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:SVI) announced today that as result of investor demand it has upsized its previously announced offering of common shares (the "Shares") to 58,824,000 Shares at a price of $0.85 per Share for gross proceeds to the Company of $50,000,400 (the "Offering"). The Offering is being sold on a bought deal basis to a syndicate of underwriters led by National Bank Financial Inc. and GMP Securities Ltd., and including Canaccord Genuity Corp., Industrial Alliance Securities Inc., and Raymond James Ltd. (the "Underwriters"). The net proceeds of the sale of the Shares will be used to fund previously announced and future acquisitions, pay down debt outstanding under current credit facilities and for general and corporate purposes.
The Corporation has also granted to the underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase 8,823,600 additional Shares, representing 15% of the size of the Offering. The over-allotment option may be exercised until 30 days following the closing of the Offering.
Certain statements contained herein constitute forward-looking statements, including statements concerning the anticipated closing date of the Offering and the anticipated use of proceeds of the Offering. StorageVault believes the expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable but there can be no assurance that such forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. As a result, such forward-looking statements included herein should not be unduly relied upon. Closing of the Offering could be delayed if StorageVault cannot obtain necessary regulatory approvals within anticipated timelines and closing of the Offering will not be completed unless certain conditions customary for transactions of this kind are satisfied. These forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to StorageVault and on assumptions StorageVault believes are reasonable. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, the ability of the Corporation to fulfil all of the conditions and obtain all of the approvals required in relation to the Offering and the Corporation completing current and future acquisitions on a manner consistent with previous disclosure of the Corporation and consistent with past acquisitions. A description of additional assumptions used to develop such forward-looking statements and a description of additional risk factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements can be found in the Corporation's disclosure documents on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com. The forward-looking statements included in this press release are made as of the date of this press release and the Corporation disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as expressly required by applicable securities legislation.
