Update to the Private Placement
On February 21, 2012 LeoNovus ("LeoNovus" or the "Company") (TSX-V: LTV) announced an agreement with MGI Securities Inc. ("MGI") for a brokered private placement of CDN$3,000,000 gross proceeds (the "Offering") based on 20,000,000 units (the "Units") priced at CDN$0.15 per Unit. Each Unit comprises one (1) common share in the capital of the Company (the "Common Share") and one (1) Common Share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase one (1) Common Share for a period of three (3) years from the closing date of the Offering at an exercise price of CDN$0.24 per Common Share. The Company also agreed, subject to regulatory approval, to grant MGI an agent's option (the "Agent's Option") to increase the size of the Offering by up to an additional fifteen percent (15%) of Units, exercisable at any time on or before the date that is two days prior to the closing date of the Offering at the same price. The Offering was originally anticipated to close on or before April 23, 2012 and a notice was filed with the TSX Venture Exchange to that effect (the "Original Notice"). The Company is still working to complete the Offering on the same terms as previously described; however it now anticipates that the Offering will close as soon as practicable and in any event not later than June 15, 2012.
The securities to be issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four (4) month and one (1) day hold period from the date of issuance. Completion of the Offering is subject to regulatory approval, including acceptance and approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
LeoNovus is committed to high quality personalized next generation products to deliver "all the video, all the web, all the games, at any time" in a very personalized consumer friendly way. The LeoNovus approach to Internet TV introduces a unique "profitability" component that has been missing from current attempts to expand the Web onto the TV– an integrated management system, the WISE Network, that will deliver carefully targeted ads, marketing campaigns, services and applications and now Home Management that are linked to individual viewer preferences and interests. This combination of an intuitive smart client and WISE Network is expected to bring a new level of specificity and accountability to revenue models.
