In This Article:
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 10, 2024) - Britannia Life Sciences Inc. (CSE: BLAB) ("Britannia" or the "Company") today announced a financing initiative (the "Financing") to fund the continued growth and expansion of its partially owned subsidiary, Britannia Mining Solutions Inc. ("BMS"). BMS specializes in providing innovative and efficient assay and geochemical services to the mining sector, with a particular focus on utilizing cutting-edge technologies such as PhotonAssay? to deliver more accurate results and faster turnaround times for clients.
The Financing will consist of two separate offerings of convertible debt, both of which satisfy the eligibility requirements for investment through registered plans, including Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs) and Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs), allowing a broader base of investors to participate in the success of BMS.
Under the terms of the first offering, Britannia will issue CAD$1,275 principal amount 2% unsecured debentures that will have a two-year term and be convertible into common shares of BMS (the "BLS Convertible Debentures"). Pursuant to the second offering, BMS will directly issue CAD$1,275 principal amount 2% unsecured convertible debentures due two years from closing to investors (the "BMS Convertible Debentures"). Britannia will guaranty the BMS Convertible Debentures, ensuring that they are eligible to be held within investors' registered plans. Under both the BLS Convertible Debentures and the BMS Convertible Debentures, each debenture will automatically convert into 100 common shares of BMS, representing a conversion price of CAD$12.75 per common share, at such time that BMS common shares themselves become eligible for registered plans. Britannia and BMS intend to raise gross proceeds of up to CAD$1,500,000 from the two offerings in aggregate.
