TORONTO, ON, May 21, 2020 – Greenbrook TMS Inc. (“Greenbrook” or the “Company”) (TSX: GTMS) is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced public offering (the “Offering”) of common shares of the Company (the “Offered Shares”). The Offering was made pursuant to an agency agreement (the “Agency Agreement”) entered into among Bloom Burton Securities Inc. and Clarus Securities Inc., as co-lead agents, Canaccord Genuity Corp., Desjardins Securities Inc. and Stifel GMP (collectively, the “Agents”).
Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued a total of 9,093,940 Offered Shares at a price of C$1.65 per Offered Share for gross proceeds of approximately C$15 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund operating activities and for other working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Agents have a 30-day over-allotment option to sell up to an additional 15% of the number of Offered Shares sold as part of the Offering.
The Offered Shares were qualified for sale by way of a (final) short form prospectus (the “Prospectus”) dated May 15, 2020 filed by the Company and receipted by the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada, other than Quebec. Copies of the Prospectus and the Agency Agreement are available under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com.
The Offered Shares have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or applicable state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from such registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the Offered Shares, in any province, state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such province, state or jurisdiction.
Insiders of the Company acquired an aggregate of 3,393,940 Offered Shares (representing approximately 37% of the Offered Shares), which is considered a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company has relied on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in Sections 5.5(c) and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, of MI 61-101 in respect of such insider participation. The Company did not file a material change report 21 days prior to the closing of the Offering as the details of the participation of “related parties” in the Offering were not known at such time.
