VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, July 27, 2021 – EverGen Infrastructure Corp. (“EverGen” or the “Company”) announces that it has filed, and obtained a receipt for, a final long-form prospectus dated July 26, 2021 (the “Final Prospectus”) with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada, relating to its previously announced proposed initial public offering (the “Offering”) of 3,080,000 units (the “Offered Units”) of the Company at a price of $6.50 per Offered Unit (the “Offering Price”), for aggregate gross proceeds of $20,020,000 (the “Offering”). The Company has also granted the Underwriters (as defined below) with an over- allotment option to purchase up to an additional 462,000 Offered Units at the Offering Price, exercisable in whole or in part, at any time on or prior to the date that is 30 days following the closing of the Offering (the “Closing Date”). If the over-allotment option is exercised in full, additional gross proceeds of $3,003,000 will be raised.
Each Offered Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a “Unit Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each full warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $10.50 for a period of 24 months from the Closing Date.
As previously disclosed, the Offering was conducted by a syndicate of underwriters led by Desjardins Capital Markets, Clarus Securities Inc., Echelon Wealth Partners and RBC Capital Markets acting as co-lead underwriters and joint bookrunners (the “Co-Lead Underwriters”) for the Offering, together with Haywood Securities and PI Financial (collectively with the Co-Lead Underwriters, the “Underwriters”).
The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about August 4, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions and the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. EverGen has received conditional listing approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX-V”) for the listing of its common shares. Listing remains subject to EverGen fulfilling customary TSX-V requirements. The common shares are expected to commence trading on the TSX-V under the symbol “EVGN” on or about August 4, 2021.
A copy of the Final Prospectus may be obtained from the Underwriters and is available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
