Quantum eMotion Announces Closing of Private Placement
Montreal, November 15, 2024 -- Quantum eMotion Corp. (“QeM” or the “Corporation”), is pleased to announce that it has closed a non-brokered private placement by issuing a total of 7,500,000 units (the “Units”) at $0.10 per Unit, for a total gross proceed of $750,000 to several strategic investors who add significant value to the Corporation’s cybersecurity initiatives.
Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one warrant of the Corporation. Each warrant entitles its holder to acquire one common share of the Corporation at a price of $0.20 for a period of 24 months following the closing of the private placement. The securities issued in the private placement are subject to a four month and one day hold period expiring on March 16, 2024.
The net proceeds from the private placement will be used by QeM to finance and accelerate the commercialization of its patented (QRNG) Quantum Random Number Generator technology. The Corporation intends to target high profile verticals such as Healthcare Services and is also well suited to meet the demands for Cloud-Based IT Security Infrastructure, Classified Government Networks And Communication Systems, Secure Device Keying (IOT, Automotive, Consumer Electronics), Quantum Cryptography and Financial Services.
The Insiders’ participation for $51,000 is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under Regulation 61-101 respecting Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“Regulation 61-101”) in accordance with sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of Regulation 61-101. The exemption is based on the fact that neither the fair market value of the private placement, nor the consideration paid by such Insiders exceeds 25% of the market capitalization of the Corporation.
As a result of the closing of the private placement, there are 158,002,838 common shares of the Corporation issued and outstanding.
The private placement was carried out pursuant to prospectus exemptions of applicable securities laws and is subject to final acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
"We are delighted by the strong support from both our existing shareholders and new strategic investors. This substantial capital investment will significantly advance the execution of QeM's strategic plan, strengthening our commercialization capabilities both domestically and internationally, while carefully preserving value for current shareholders. This unwavering confidence from our investors serves as a powerful endorsement of QeM’s vision and underscores our potential to lead and innovate in the rapidly evolving field of quantum technologies." said Marc Rousseau, CFO.
