News Releases

5 Aug, 2020

Successful balance sheet restructuring positions Company to fund its future growth

Oversubscribed Offering raises significantly more capital than originally anticipated

Strong demand expands shareholder liquidity; financing attracts over 40 new investors, with minimal equity dilution and no disruption of $200 million of favorable tax assets

Proceeds applied to settle $34 million of debt owed to Vertex and Pender Funds

DENVER, CO - Intermap Technologies Corporation (“Intermap” or the “Company”) today announced that it has closed the first tranche of its previously announced and fully subscribed issuer private placement (the “Private Placement”) of up to 4,317,118 Class A common shares (“Shares”) at a price of CAD$0.56 per Share – a 40% premium to the previously announced offering price on July 7, 2020. Both tranches were well oversubscribed. The first tranche included the issuance of 3,571,428 Shares, raising aggregate gross proceeds of CAD$2 million. Strong investor demand allowed the Company to attract dozens of new sophisticated investors.

The Private Placement was executed carefully, with the Company taking care not to disturb its valuable tax attributes. As previously disclosed in the Company’s financial statements, Intermap has $221 million in Net Operating Losses (“NOLs”), including $164 million in the United States and $57 million in Canada. Greater ownership diversification protects the Company’s tax assets from a deemed ownership change, as defined by US IRC Section 382. A deemed ownership change would limit the Company’s ability to utilize its tax attributes to increase future cash flow. As a result of this private placement, the total ownership shift for the prior three years immediately after the private placement will be approximately 40%, well within the US IRC Section 382 allowances. The Board and management will remain diligent in maximizing these tax assets as they consider alternative capital strategies to accelerate the Company’s growth and strategic alternatives.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement to satisfy obligations under the amended settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) entered into among the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Intermap Technologies Inc. (“ITI”), and PenderFund Capital Management Ltd. (the “Lender”). Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company and ITI can fully settle the Company’s outstanding debt of US$33.9 million to the Lender with a payment to the Lender of US$1 million on or before September 1, 2020.

“This is the first time we have issued stock in nearly three years and we issued only the amount of stock necessary to achieve our goals,” commented Patrick Blott, Intermap’s Chairman and CEO. “Because the offering was oversubscribed, we issued fewer shares at a higher price to raise more capital with less dilution than we announced previously. With this financing, the Company has eliminated its debt overhang, strengthened its investor base, and positioned itself for highly scalable growth, while preserving the Company’s valuable tax assets, which can fund growth and acquisitions. Investors and customers have begun to respond favorably as we continue to responsibly execute on Intermap’s business plan.”

The Company also issued 139,284 warrants to certain finders (the “Warrants”) under the Private Placement. Each Warrant is exercisable for one Share at an exercise price of US$0.417 per Share, being the U.S. dollar equivalent to CAD$0.56 as of the date of issuance of the Warrants, at any time until July 31, 2022.

All Shares and Warrants issued in connection with the Private Placement are subject to a 4-month hold period during which trading in the securities is restricted in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The Company intends to close a second tranche of the Private Placement within the next two weeks at the same offering price of $0.56 per Share, up to the cumulative maximum number of Shares and Warrants issuable under the Private Placement of 4,317,118. The second tranche is oversubscribed.

The Private Placement and the listing of the Shares issued under the Private Placement and the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) are subject to final approval of the TSX upon satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The TSX conditionally approved the Private Placement and the listing of the Shares issued thereunder and the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants prior to closing of the first tranche.

Patrick A. Blott, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, subscribed for 267,857 Shares. His participation constitutes a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). Such participation is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 on the basis that participation in the Private Placement by Mr. Blott does not exceed 25% of the fair market value of the Company’s market capitalization. Mr. Blott’s participation was reduced by strong demand among other investors and reflects continued insider commitment to the Company’s business plan. In order to accommodate strong investor demand, amounts allocated to insiders were reduced to approximately 8% of the newly issued shares, down from an initial requested allocation of approximately 23% of the Offering.

The Board of Directors and management team are committed to the ongoing protection of shareholder value and re-establishment of credibility in the capital and business markets where the Company competes. The Company completed the Private Placement among 41 investors, including existing, former and new shareholders. As a result, the Company expanded and diversified its investor base, and following the lock-up the publicly traded stock, now has a bigger float with greater liquidity. The Company will continue to minimize dilution as it seeks to capitalize on opportunities to grow the Company and safeguard and maximize shareholder value.
