The Limestone Boat Company Limited
(“
Limestone” or the
“
Company”) (
TSXV: BOAT) is
pleased to announce a brokered private placement (the
“
Offering”), led by Beacon Securities Limited
("
Beacon”) of up to 16.67 million units (the
“
Units”) at a price of $0.24 per Unit (the
"
Issue Price"), to raise gross proceeds of up to
$4.0 million. The Offering will be carried out on a commercially
reasonable best efforts basis to accredited investors in each of
the Provinces of Canada, and in the United States pursuant to
available exemptions from applicable registration requirements.
“We are very pleased to be able to announce this
financing which will significantly improve Limestone's financial
position and manufacturing expansion efforts at our 145,000 square
foot White Bluff, Tennessee boatbuilding plant. Increasing our
production scale is a primary focus for Limestone. With this
capital infusion, Limestone will be better positioned to overcome
our current 2x order backlog which has exceeded our projected
capacity for both the 2022 and 2023 model years,” stated Scott
Hanson, CEO of Limestone.
Each Unit will consist of one common share of
the Company (a “Common Share”) and one half of one
Common Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each
full Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional
Common Share at a price of $0.32 per Common Share for a period of
24 months following the closing of the Offering. Closing of the
Offering may occur in multiple tranches and is subject to receipt
of all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals, including the
approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Closing of the Offering is
anticipated to occur on or about November 19, 2021.
The Company has also granted Beacon an option
(the “Agent’s Option”), exercisable in whole or in
part at any up to 48 hours prior to the closing of the Offering, to
sell up to an additional 2.5 million Units at the Issue Price for
additional gross proceeds of up to $600,000.
The securities issued under the Offering will be
subject to a statutory hold period of four months from the date of
issuance in accordance with applicable securities legislation. The
Warrants will not be listed on any exchange.
The net proceeds of the Offering are expected to
be used for working capital and general corporate purposes and to
support the growth strategy outlined below.
Pursuant to the Offering, Beacon will receive a
cash commission equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering
(inclusive of the Agent’s Option) and that number of compensation
options (the “Compensation Options”) as is equal
to 7.0% of the aggregate number of Units sold under the Offering
(inclusive of the Agent’s Option). Each Compensation Option is
exercisable to acquire one Common Share at the Issue Price for a
period of 24 months after the closing date of the Offering.
This news release does not constitute an offer
to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be
any sale of the securities in any State of the United States in
which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The
securities being offered have not been, nor will they be,
registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as

3-Year Growth Strategy
As part of its broader capital formation
strategy, the Company also intends to undertake a strategic,
non-dilutive debt offering expected to be completed in the first
quarter of 2022 up to USD $25 million. The Company expects to use
the proceeds from such debt financing to expand its manufacturing
footprint and production scale. Limestone is exceeding its
projected capacity for both the 2022 and 2023 model year with its
current order book backlog. Orders in hand and expressed through
the 2022 model year exceed projected proforma capacity standing at
478 units, with a 2022 model year Proforma capacity of
approximately 279 units. Expressed orders for the 2023 Model Year
are at 676 units to date, with 2023 model year Proforma capacity of
approximately 650 units. Each model year commences in June of the
preceding year and concludes in May of that year.
