TORONTO, June 4 /CNW/ - Luxell Technologies Inc. (TSX:LUX) today announced that it has engaged Kingsmill Capital Partners Inc. ("KCP" / "Agent") to facilitate a private placement to raise a minimum of $1 million through the issuance of common shares from treasury at $0.12 per share. As additional compensation, the Company will issue to the Agent broker warrants entitling the Agent to purchase 1,000,000 common shares of the Company exercisable at $0.13 for a period of twenty-four months following the closing.
The funds will be used solely to meet increasing working capital demands resulting from the recent growth in sales activity now being enjoyed by Luxell.
The terms of the engagement of KCP include KCP raising a minimum of $1 million and the parties have agreed that an oversubscription of up to 20% will be allowed. KCP also has the right of first refusal to facilitate a larger financing of up to $5 million in the next fiscal year that will be used for a combined purpose of redeeming debt owed by Luxell and further increasing working capital to meet the increasing demands of expected sales growth.
"Everyone on our team has worked very hard over the past 8 months and especially since January of this year to build on existing business and develop new sales and product enhancements. We are now beginning to see the turnaround of Luxell's fortunes and can see we have reached the point where an equity investment makes sense both for the company and for investors. We are very proud of the advances we have made to increase sales and reduce costs and we look forward to a great deal more of this type of success as we continue to move ahead," says Luxell President and CEO, David Pasieka.
Completion of the private placement is subject to receipt of all required regulatory and other approvals, including acceptance by the TSX.
