Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – October 12, 2021) – European High Growth Opportunities Securitization Fund (the “Fund“) announced today that the Fund has closed the second tranche of its financing arrangement (the “Financing“) with Tony G Co-Investment Holdings Ltd. (CSE: TONY) (the “Issuer” or “Tony“).

On October 5, 2021, the Issuer received the final approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange for the previously announced change of business transaction which involved, among other transactions, the Financing. Pursuant to the Financing, the Fund acquired $1,288,000 principal amount of Debentures (as defined below) and 460,000 accompanying Warrants (as defined below) pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement dated June 11, 2019 between Tony (formerly Braingrid Limited) and the Fund (the “Subscription Agreement“).

Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement, as part of closing the second tranche of the Financing, the Issuer issued to the Fund convertible debentures (the “Debentures“) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,288,000 and 460,000 common share purchase warrants (the “Warrants“). The Warrants have an expiry date of August 10, 2026. Each Warrant is exercisable into one common share (“Common Share“) of the Issuer (subject to typical adjustments). Further terms of the Financing are set out in the Subscription Agreement as filed on SEDAR and available under the Issuer’s profile at www.sedar.com.

The Debentures bear no interest and the maturity date of the Debentures is August 11, 2026. The Debentures shall be convertible into Common Shares at a conversion price equal to the lower of: (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “VWAP“) over the period of fifteen (15) trading days immediately preceding the date of the relevant conversion notice (or, where no Conversion Notice is given, the Maturity Date, as may be accelerated), or (ii) one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the lowest daily VWAP observed over the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date of issuance of the Debentures, having regard for any adjustments made in accordance with the terms of the Debentures provided that under no circumstances shall the conversion price be less than the minimum price permitted under applicable law or the rules of any exchange on which the Common Shares of the Issuer are listed for trading.

Immediately following the closing of the Financing, the Fund owns, controls or directs (directly or indirectly): (i) 889,250 Common Shares; (ii) an aggregate principal amount of $1,288,000 of Debentures; and (iii) 608,750 Warrants. Based on the foregoing, the Fund, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns or exercises control or direction over 3,420,288 Common Shares representing approximately 35.65% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a fully diluted basis (assuming conversion of the aggregate principal amount of $1,288,000 Debentures into approximately 1,922,388 common shares and the exercise of the 608,750 Warrants).

Debentures and Warrants were acquired by the Fund for investment purposes. Depending on market and other conditions, the Fund may, directly or indirectly, acquire ownership or control over additional securities of the Issuer, through open market or through private acquisitions or sell securities of the Issuer either on the open market or through private dispositions in the future depending on market conditions and/or other relevant factors.
