Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – December 16, 2019) – LOOPShare Ltd. (TSXV: LOOP) (OTCQB: LPPPF), announces that it has closed the third and final tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”). In the third tranche aggregate gross proceeds of $763,500 were raised through the issuance of 3,817,500 class “A” common shares (each a “Share”) at a price of $0.20 per share. Through all three tranches the Company has raised gross proceeds of $2,355,472.
All securities issued in the third tranche of the private placement are subject to a resale restriction in accordance with applicable securities laws, which expires on April 14, 2020. No finder’s fees were paid in connection with the closing of the third tranche.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement to continue to launch the Harbour Air partnership, complete related software and hardware development of the LOOPShare platform, acquire inventory and for general corporate and working capital purposes.
Certain insiders of the Company purchased a total of 400,000 Shares under the Private Placement. The issuance of securities to such persons constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of TSXV Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of related party participation in the Private Placement as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involved related parties, exceeded 25% of the Company’s market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101). Further details will be included in a material change report to be filed by the Company. The material change report will not be filed more than 21 days prior to the closing of the Private Placement as the level of insider participation was not known at that time.

The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the Unites States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and such securities may not be offered or sold within the United States absent U.S. registration or an applicable exemption from U.S. registration requirements.
