Else Announces Closing of First Tranche of Institutional Investment for Gross Proceeds of US$4.25M

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ELSE NUTRITION HOLDINGS INC. (TSX: BABY) (OTCQX: BABYF) (FSE: 0YL) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of the previously announced private placement pursuant to the convertible security funding agreement (the “Agreement”) with Lind Global Fund II LP, an entity managed by The Lind Partners, LLC, a New York-based institutional fund manager (together, “Lind”) for net proceeds of US$4,133,125 after deduction of the original issue discount and closing fee (the “First Tranche”).

Pursuant to the First Tranche, the Company has issued: (i) a convertible security (the “Initial Convertible Security”) with a two-year term and a face value of US$5,100,000; and (ii) 8,247,129 common share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) exercisable into common shares in the capital of the Company (the “Shares”) for a period of 48 months from the date of issuance at an exercise price of C$1.15 per Share.

The Initial Convertible Security has a 36-month maturity date and will be convertible into Shares after completion of a 120-day lock-up period. Lind will be able to convert 1/20th of the face value each month at a conversion price equal to 85% of the five-day volume weighted average price of the Shares immediately prior to each conversion, subject to a right to increase conversions in certain circumstances. The outstanding face value of the Initial Convertible Security, after 180 days, may be repaid in cash at the discretion of the Company, with a 5% premium (the “Buy-Back Right”). Should the Company exercise its Buy-Back Right, Lind would have the option to convert up to 33.3% of the face value of the Initial Convertible Security into Shares.

The Company has the right to draw a further US$1,250,000 (which may be increased to US$3,000,000 upon mutual agreement) (the “Second Draw”), subject to the terms of the formal agreements, and thereafter an optional follow-on investment of up to US$6,500,000, (the “Third Draw”), upon mutual agreement, in exchange for the issuance of additional convertible securities. Each of the Second Draw and Third Draw, if applicable, will include detached warrants to purchase common Shares. The number of warrants issued on the Second Draw and Third Draw will be calculated on 75% of the amount of the draw divided by the VWAP per share during the twenty (20) consecutive trading days immediately before the closing date of the Second Draw and the Third Draw. The exercise price of warrants issued on the Second Draw and the Third Draw will be equal to the greater of: (i) the VWAP per share (in Canadian dollars) for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately before the date of the Second Draw or Third Draw closing as applicable, and (ii) 130% of the VWAP per share (in Canadian dollars) for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days immediately before the date of the Second Draw or Third Draw closing as applicable.

The proceeds from the issuance of the Initial Convertible Security will be applied to clinical trials in connection with FDA and other application processes, as well as general working capital.

The Company has obtained approval of Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) for the transactions described above. Shares issued pursuant to any conversions would be issued under TSX private placement rules and would not be freely tradable for four months and one day following closing and would be subject to restrictions under applicable Canadian and United States securities laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities offered in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful. The securities offered have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or applicable state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States or U.S. persons (as both such terms are defined in Regulation S promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act) absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.
