Vancouver, BC – October 6th, 2023 – VERSES AI Inc. (NEO:VERS) ("VERSES'' or the "Company”) is pleased to announce that it has filed a final short form prospectus (“Prospectus”) and obtained a receipt (the “Receipt”) in each of the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario to qualify the distribution of (i) an aggregate of 6,612,849 units of the Company (the “Units”) issuable upon the deemed exercise of 6,612,849 special warrants of the Company (the “Special Warrants”) previously issued on July 6, 2023 (the “Closing Date”) pursuant to prospectus exemptions under applicable securities legislation (the “Offering”); and (ii) 405,383 broker warrants of the Company (the “Broker Warrants”) issuable upon the deemed exercise of 405,383 broker special warrants of the Company (the “Broker Special Warrants”) previously issued on the Closing Date in connection with the Offering.
Each Unit consists of one Class A Subordinate Voting share of the Company (a “Unit Share”) and one-half of one Class A Subordinate Voting share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Unit Warrant”). Each Unit Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Subordinate Voting share (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $2.55 (the “Exercise Price”) per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, for 36 months following the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of a warrant indenture (the “Warrant Indenture”) dated as of the Closing Date between the Company and Endeavor Trust Company, as Unit Warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”). If the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A Subordinate Voting shares of the Company (the "Class A Shares") is equal to or greater than $5.55 for any 10 consecutive trading day period on the NEO Exchange (or such other stock exchange where the Class A Shares are then listed) at any time following the Closing Date, the Company may provide notice to the Warrant Agent and the registered holders of the Unit Warrants (the “Warrant Acceleration Notice”) in the manner specified pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Indenture stating that the expiry of the Unit Warrants will be accelerated to the date specified in such Warrant Acceleration Notice, provided such date will not be less than 30 trading days after the date of such Warrant Acceleration Notice.
Each Broker Special Warrant, upon automatic conversion, will entitle the holder thereof to receive one non-transferable warrant of the Company (a “Broker Warrant”) at no additional cost. Each Broker Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one unit of the Company (a “Broker Unit”) at a price per Broker Unit equal to $2.05, with each Broker Unit being comprised of one Class A Share (a “Broker Unit Share”) and one-half of one non-transferable Class A Subordinate Voting share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Broker Unit Warrant”). Each Broker Unit Warrant shall be exercisable into one Class A Share at the Exercise Price until July 6, 2026 pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Indenture, and such Broker Unit Warrants will have the same terms as the Unit Warrants and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Indenture.
As a result of obtaining the Receipt, the Company has delivered a notice to the agent for the Special Warrants that the Special Warrants shall be deemed to be exercised as of October 5, 2023. The Company has also delivered notice to the holders of Broker Special Warrants that the Broker Special Warrants shall also be deemed exercised as of October 5, 2023 in accordance with their terms. Following the deemed exercise of the Special Warrants and the Broker Special Warrants, the Company will issue the Units and the Broker Warrants to the holders of Special Warrants and the holders of Broker Special Warrants, respectively.
