Therma Bright Uses TSXV Minimum Pricing Exception for $0.03 Share Offering

The offering price of $0.03 per share sits below the standard $0.05 floor set by the TSX Venture Exchange, requiring the company to rely on a minimum pricing exception. The release states this exception is being applied in accordance with TSXV policies. Shares issued under the offering will carry a four-month-and-one-day statutory hold period from the date of issuance. Completion of the offering remains subject to all necessary regulatory approvals, including formal TSXV sign-off. No closing date for the offering was disclosed in the announcement.

Intended Use of Proceeds Across Manufacturing, Marketing, and Working Capital

Therma Bright has outlined five specific allocations for the anticipated proceeds. The largest single use is $168,000 directed to outstanding debt repayment and general working capital. A $120,000 initial deposit is earmarked for product manufacturing, while $50,000 is set aside for a consumer marketing analysis. Up to $42,000 is designated for investor relations activities, and $40,000 is allocated to reimburse management expenses and partially settle accrued salaries. The company did not disclose which products the manufacturing deposit relates to in the announcement.

Director and Officer Participation Triggers Related-Party Transaction Rules

The announcement confirms that directors and officers may participate in the offering, which would constitute a related-party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101. The company states it expects such participation to qualify for exemptions from formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements, on the basis that the fair market value of securities acquired by insiders is not expected to exceed 25% of the company's market capitalization. Finders' fees may also be paid to eligible finders, subject to applicable securities laws and TSXV policies.
