The rights offering was over-subscribed and the Company has closed on the total offering amount of C$2,173,121 which was the maximum amount offered by the Company.

TekModo has completed its previously announced share consolidation of the outstanding share capital on the basis of 2.5 pre-consolidation common shares for 1 new post-consolidated common share (the “Consolidation”). The Consolidation was effective at the open of the market on June 30, 2017. The Company’s name and trading symbol will remain unchanged.

Prior to the Consolidation, the Company issued 144,874,759 common shares pursuant to its rights offering discussed in further detail below. After closing of the rights offering, and prior to the Consolidation, the Company had 289,749,518 common shares issued and outstanding. As a result of the Consolidation, the Company’s issued and outstanding 289,749,518 common shares were reduced to 115,899,777 shares after rounding adjustments.

116,305,073 rights were exercised at a subscription price of C$0.015 prior to the Expiry Time under the basic subscription privilege entitling holders of rights to acquire an aggregate of 116,305,073 units (the “Units”) (46,522,029 post Consolidation) of the Company. Of these 27,385,849 Units (10,954,339 post Consolidation) were issued to insiders and 88,919,224 (35,567,689 post Consolidation) were issued to other shareholders. In addition, all 28,569,686 (11,427,874 post consolidation) of the remaining Rights offered were subscribed for under the additional subscription privilege. Of these, 15,533,800 (6,213,520 post Consolidation) were issued to insiders and 13,035,886 (5,214,354 post Consolidation) were issued to other shareholders. After the Consolidation, each Unit consists of one post-consolidated common share and one share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant is exercisable into one post-consolidated common share for a period of 5 years from the issuance date of the Units, at a price of $0.0625.

No fees or commissions were paid in connection with the rights offering. The Company issued 25,121,887 warrants (10,048,755 post Consolidation) to purchase common shares at a price of $0.0625 (post Consolidation) for a period of 5 years to the standby guarantors in consideration for the standby commitment, the full amount of which was advanced as a loan prior to completion of the rights offering.

Subscribers for Units under the rights offering should note that their shares and warrants underlying the Units are being issued on a post Consolidation basis and that they do not need to take any further action with respect to any letter of transmittal as it relates to these shares and warrants.
