Investment to occur after FNHI becomes Ontario Reporting Issuer
Toronto, March 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Franchise Holdings International Inc. ( FNHI) (“FNHI”) announced that it will receive a $240,000 CDN investment from Gunpowder Capital Corp. (CSE: GPC), (CSE: GPC.PR.A), ( GNPWF), (Frankfurt: YS6N), (“Gunpowder”) following its approval as an Ontario Reporting Issuer in the near future. FNHI will provide 4,600,000 pre consolidation Subscription Receipts to Gunpowder for $0.05 CDN per Receipt. When the Ontario Securities Commission approves FNHI as a Reporting Issuer, Gunpowder will automatically be provided with FNHI units, based on the pre consolidation receipts it holds.
When FNHI is approved as an issuer, FNHI Units issued to Gunpowder will comprise one Common FNHI Share and one full Purchase Warrant. Each FNHI Warrant will entitle Gunpowder to purchase one additional pre consolidation FNHI Common Share for $0.10 CDN for 24 months from the date of FNHI’s approval as a reporting issuer. FNHI may accelerate the warrant expiry at its sole discretion after the approval’s four-month anniversary. The acceleration can occur when FNHI shares’ volume-weighted average trading price is greater than $0.20 for any 10 consecutive trading days.
“The finalization of the long-awaited Gunpowder investment is an important moment for FNHI and its shareholders,” commented FNHI and Worksport CEO Steven Rossi. “We have secured over $1,250,000 U.S. in orders for our tonneau/truck bed covers since December 2018. New private label orders are arriving regularly and a recent visit to our Chinese supply chain has proven to be very encouraging for future production. Worksport is on track to achieve revenues representing at least a 1,100 per cent increase year over year, when compared with 2018.This is a very promising and exciting development for shareholders. We feel the good news will continue to occur, and welcome Gunpowder’s vote of confidence in our future prospects.”
