Aston Bay Reprices Financing 58% Lower After Investors Lose Interest
In a sign of the waning interest in its story, Aston Bay Holdings (TSXV: BAY) has been forced to reprice its ongoing brokered financing dramatically lower.
The financing, which was originally announced back on September 5 amid its recent run-up, has been repriced 58% lower following a sharp drop in the share price.
The brokered financing was originally priced at $0.19 per unit, with each unit set to contain one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Warrants were priced at $0.29, and contained a two year expiry. The offering, for proceeds of up to $5.0 million, was expected to see the sale of 26.3 million units.
Under the revised terms, Aston Bay is now looking to sell 47.5 million units for gross proceeds of just $3.8 million. The offering sees units instead sold at $0.08 per each, with each unit again containing one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Warrants meanwhile have been repriced dramatically lower, with the exercise price now at just $0.12 per each, while the expiry remains at two years.
