Press Releases

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(GlobeNewswire – October 22, 2019) – Clear Blue Technologies International Inc. (TSXV: CBLU) (the "Company") is pleased to announce a private placement offering in the aggregate principal amount of up to $600,000 of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (each, a "Debenture") at a price of $100 per Debenture (the "Offering").

The Debentures will bear interest from each applicable issuance date at 10% per annum, calculated and paid semi-annually on the last day of June and December of each year to the date that is 36 months following the Closing Date (the "Maturity Date").  The first interest payment will be made on December 31, 2019 and will consist of interest accrued from and including the closing of each tranche of the Offering (each, a "Closing Date").

The principal amount of the Debentures will be convertible into units of the Company (the "Units") at the option of the holder at any time prior to the close of business on the last business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, at a conversion price of $0.20 per Unit (the "Conversion Price"), subject to adjustment in certain events.  

Each Unit will be comprised of: (i) one common share of the Company (each, a "Common Share"); and (ii) one half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, "Warrants").  Each Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.35 per Common Share, subject to adjustment in certain events, until the Maturity Date; provided however, the Company will have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to a date which is not less than 30 days after the date on which a written notice is provided to the holders of Warrants if the daily volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares is greater than $0.70 (subject to adjustment in certain events) for any 10 consecutive trading days on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").  

Beginning on the date that is four months plus one day following the Closing Date, but subject to receipt of any required approvals, the Company may force the conversion of all of the principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures at the Conversion Price on not less than 21 days' notice should the daily volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares be greater than $0.70 (subject to adjustment in certain events) for any 10 consecutive trading days on the TSXV.  

The net proceeds received by the Company will be used for working capital purposes.  The closing of the Offering is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the approval of the TSXV.

The Debentures will be offered and sold by private placement in Canada to "accredited investors" within the meaning of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions and other exempt purchasers in each province of Canada. All securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a statutory four month hold period.  

Three members of senior management intend to participate in the debenture financing.

Update on Q3 Outlook Guidance. 

In the Q3 MD&A the Company provided the following guidance:  

“Based on the prior 8 Proof of Concepts and 3 First Install sales, management provides guidance that we expect to win at least two more POC and one more First Install in 2019 for a total of 10 Proof of Concepts and 4 First Installs in 2018/2019.  There can be no assurance we will win a Rollout contract, however the bid processes currently underway are structured for a mid-2020 decision by the project operators.” 

Based on progress made since the Q3 release on August 27, 2019 management reiterates the above guidance for two more Proof of Concept (POC) projects and one more First Install during the remainder of 2019.

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

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
