Caldwell Announces Closing of a Private Placement for Gross Proceeds of $2.9M

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / August 14, 2023 / Talent acquisition firm The Caldwell Partners International Inc. (TSX:CWL)(OTCQX:CWLPF) ("Caldwell Partners" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed a non-brokered private placement financing of $2,942,591.20 (the "Offering") through the issuance of 3,678,239 common shares (the "Common Shares") at a price of $0.80 per Common Share.

The proceeds of the Offering will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes, including an allocation of funds for the recruitment of new partners. All securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a four-month hold period from the closing date in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.

"The new capital will provide the company additional financial flexibility as we execute on our strategic growth plans and further aligns our stakeholders," said John Wallace, chief executive officer. "We are pleased that this group of subscribers includes both new outside investors who see a great deal of promise in our story, as well as a large number of our own board, management and partner teams, who know what we are all about and believe strongly in where we are going."

The Company paid a cash finder's fee in the amount of $33,600, to a registered finder, which was equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised by purchasers introduced by such registered finder.

$982,000 of the proceeds raised under the Offering was subscribed by insiders of the Company which constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company intends to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves "related parties", is not more than the 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing date of the Offering as the details of the Offering and the participation therein by each "related party" of the Company were not settled until shortly prior to the closing of the Offering.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of any of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for account or benefit of, U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act) except pursuant to an available exemption under the 1933 Act and compliance with, or exemption from, applicable U.S. state securities laws.
