ZTR ACQUISITION CORP. ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF PRIVATE PLACEMENT AND SHARE CONSOLIDATION
Vancouver, British Columbia – June 12, 2020 – ZTR Acquisition Corp. (TSXV: ZTR.H) (the “Company”) announces that it has completed a consolidation of its common share capital on a onefor-five basis (the “Share Consolidation”) and has completed an offering of 20,000,000 post-Share Consolidation common shares (each, a “Share”) by way of non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”). The Shares were offered at a price of $0.05 per Share, for gross proceeds of $1,000,000.
Prior to completion of the Share Consolidation, the Company had 43,771,659 common shares outstanding and, following completion of the Share Consolidation and Private Placement, it now has 28,754,330 shares outstanding.
Effective at the opening of markets on June 12, 2020, the common shares of the Company commenced trading on a post-Share Consolidation basis under the existing ticker symbol “ZTR.H”, consistent with the TSX Venture Exchange bulletin issued on June 10, 2020. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Share Consolidation. Shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a common share will be rounded to the nearest whole number of shares and no cash consideration will be paid in respect of a fractional share. Registered holders of common shares of the Company will receive a letter of transmittal from Computershare Trust Company of Canada with instructions on how to exchange existing share certificates for new post-Share Consolidation certificates.
No finders’ fees or commissions were paid in connection with completion of the Private Placement. All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement are subject to statutory hold period until October 12, 2020 in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement to pay down existing trade payables and outstanding loans, to cover the costs associated with the Share Consolidation and Private Placement, to satisfy continuous disclosure and regulatory obligations, and to continue the evaluation of potential strategic acquisition opportunities. At this time, the Company estimates allocating the proceeds as follows:
| Use of Proceeds | Allocated Amount |
|---|---|
| Administrative Costs of Private Placement and Share Consolidation | $20,000 |
| Retirement of Existing Trade Payables | $595,000 |
| Retirement of Existing Loans | $185,000 |
| Evaluation of Strategic Acquisitions | $75,000 |
| General and Administrative Expenses | $125,000 |
| Gross Proceeds | $1,000,000 |
The above figures are estimates only, and there may be circumstances in which the Company is required to reallocate proceeds of the Private Placement based on the operational needs of the Company. At this time, except for repayment of a loan in the amount of $24,500 owing to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the Company does not propose to make any payments to related parties, although may in the future elect to compensate related parties for services rendered to the Company.
The Private Placement included a subscription from a director of the Company for 100,000 Shares. The issuance of Shares to a director of the Company, pursuant to the Private Placement, is considered a related party transaction within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of the participation by the director, as neither the fair market value of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the Private Placement, insofar as it involves a director of the Company, exceeded twenty-five percent of the market capitalization of the Company.
