TORONTO, Oct. 7, 2020 16:35 ET /CNW/ – CryptoStar Corp. (TSXV: CSTR) (“CryptoStar” or the “Company“), a cryptocurrency mining and data centre operator, today announced that it has closed the private placement announced on September 10, 2020, consisting of the issuance of 5,000,000 units (“Units“) of the Company at a price of $0.05 per Unit by way of a non-brokered private placement (the “Offering“).
Each Unit consists of one common share of CryptoStar (a “Common Share“) and one common share purchase warrant of CryptoStar (a “Warrant“). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of CAD $0.075 per Common Share for a period of 18 months from the date of issue.
The securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a four-month hold period, in accordance with applicable securities laws.
A.C.N. 117 402 838 PTY LTD (“ACN“), an insider of the Company, participated in the Offering, thereby making the Offering a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61–101 ̶ Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“). ACN purchased 1,061,735 Units, and after the completion of the Private Placement will own 102,624,235 common shares or approximately 46.9% of the total common shares issued and outstanding. The Offering is exempt from the need to obtain minority shareholder and a formal valuation as required by MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of any units to insiders nor the consideration paid by insiders of the Company exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. No new insiders were created, nor did any change of control result from the Offering.
The Company notes that it has not filed a material change report in connection with the Offering 21 days prior to closing date of Offering. The Company believes this shorter period was reasonable and necessary in the circumstances as the Company wished to complete the Offering in a timely manner.
CryptoStar intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for business operations and expansion of its business, and for general working capital purposes.
The Company also announced that, further to its news release dated September 29, 2020, the Company and Tandem Innovation Group Inc. (“Tandem“) have agreed to amend the consulting agreement relating to the engagement of Mr. Mason M. Darabi as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Under the amended consulting agreement, the Company will pay Tandem the monthly consulting fee entirely in cash.
