Abner Labs Closes $2 Million Pre-Listing Private Placement
Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – February 17, 2022) – Abner Labs announces that it raised approximately $2 000 000 on closing the first tranche of its pre-listing private placement.
“We appreciate this significant vote of confidence by the market,” said Dr David Bate, Chairman. “It represents an important milestone in our continued march towards being a leading sports betting technology company,” he added.
Subscribers represent a diverse cross-section of investors from Canada, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Austria, Mauritius, Cayman Islands, Seychelles and South Africa.
Proceeds of the pre-listing private placement will be used to accelerate commercialization of the ibetmobile white label live sports viewing and in-play betting platform. “The sooner we can empower sports fans and sports bettors with our easy and exciting new way to watch and bet on their favourite games on the web site of their favourite sports book, the better,” concluded Dr Bate.
Abner Labs acquired Abner Technology Group and its ibetmobile technology in an $18 million all-share deal announced earlier this week. The deemed price of the shares and the exercise price and terms of the warrants involved in that acquisition are the same as the price of shares and exercise price and terms of the warrants in the pre-listing private placement. “We’re all in the same rowboat paddling as fast as we can in the same direction. We are singularly committed to the creation and acceleration of value for users of our technologies, our clients, our strategic partners and our shareholders,” said Dr Bate.
FIRST TRANCHE OF PRE-LISTING PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Abner Labs issued approximately 7 582 513 Purchased Units at a price of $0.25 per Purchased Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1 895 628. Each Purchased Unit automatically converts into one share in the capital of the Company (“Share”) upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Each Purchased Unit includes one Share purchase warrant (“Warrant”) which entitles the holder to purchase one Share at a price of $0.38 per Share within 24 months from the issue date.
The Company paid approximately $68 418 and issued approximately 273 670 Warrants as commissions to qualified parties in respect of the closing of the first tranche of its pre-listing private placement.
