TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kontrol Technologies Corp. (NEO:KNR) (OTCQB:KNRLF) (FSE:1K8) (“Kontrol” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce it has established an at-the-market equity program (the “ATM Program“) that allows the Company to issue and sell up to $10,000,000 of common shares in the capital of the Company (the “Common Shares“) from treasury to the public, from time to time, at the Company’s discretion. All Common Shares sold under the ATM Program will be made through sales that are deemed to be “at-the-market distributions” as defined in National Instrument 44-102 Shelf Distributions through the NEO Exchange (“NEO“) or any other “marketplace” in Canada as defined under applicable securities laws.
Distributions of the Common Shares under the ATM Program will be made pursuant to the terms of an equity distribution agreement dated May 5, 2022 (the “Equity Distribution Agreement“) entered into between the Company and Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. (the “Agent“). The volume and timing of distributions under the ATM Program, if any, will be determined in the Company’s sole discretion. The Common Shares will be distributed at the market prices prevailing at the time of each sale and, as a result, prices may vary as between purchasers and during the period of the ATM Program. The ATM Program will be effective until the earlier of the issuance and sale of all of the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the ATM Program and the end of the effective period of the Base Shelf Prospectus (defined below), unless terminated prior to such date by the Company or the Agent in accordance with the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement.
The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the ATM Program for: capital expenditures; working capital; and general corporate purposes. The proposed capital expenditures include supporting the Company’s ongoing research and development efforts.
The distribution of Common Shares under the ATM Program will be qualified by a prospectus supplement dated May 5, 2022 (the “Prospectus Supplement“) to the Company’s short form base shelf prospectus dated April 22, 2022 (the “Base Shelf Prospectus“), each filed with the securities commissions in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. The Equity Distribution Agreement, the Prospectus Supplement and the Base Shelf Prospectus are available on the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
