(“Adira” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has filed a final prospectus (the “Prospectus”) with the Israeli Securities Authority (the “ISA”) in connection with its previously announced application to list the Company’s securities on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (the “Listing”).
In connection with the Listing, the Company will conduct a fully marketed offering of units (the “Units”) in Israel, for aggregate gross proceeds of a maximum of up to $10,320,000 (the “Offering”), the distribution of which will be qualified by prospectus filed with Canadian securities regulators.
Each Unit is comprised of a combination of common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”) and warrants equivalent to 2 Common Shares, one short-term common share purchase warrant (a “Series 1 Warrant”) and one long-term common share purchase warrant (a “Series 2 Warrant”).
In Israel, the Offering will be conducted in the context of a Dutch auction (the “Auction”), in accordance with Israeli securities law. Pursuant to the Prospectus, the minimum price per Common Share in the Auction is 0.50 New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”) (CAD$0.129) (the “Minimum Price”) (subject to final price being determined in the context of the Auction). Each Series 1 Warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company (a “Warrant Share”) at a price of NIS0.50 (CAD$0.129) for a period of 18 months after the closing of the Offering. Each Series 2 Warrant is exercisable to acquire one Warrant Share at a price of NIS0.55 (CAD$0.14), for a period of 36 months after the closing of the Offering. No binding agreements of purchase and sale will be entered into through the Auction process.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to complete the drilling of the first well on the Gabriella license, and to continue the exploration and development activities on the Yitzhak and Samuel offshore licenses.
The completion of the Offering is subject to approval by the ISA and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.
