On March 10, 2010 the Company announced that it has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters (the "Underwriters"), led by CI Capital Markets Inc. and including Wolverton Securities Ltd., whereby the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a bought deal basis, 12,000,000 common shares (the "Common Shares") from treasury of the Company at a purchase price of $0.50 per Common Share (the "Issue Price") for gross proceeds of $6,000,000 (the "Offering"). The Company has granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 2,000,000 Common Shares at the Issue Price exercisable up to 48 hours prior to closing of the Offering for additional gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000.
The Company continues to successfully implement its business plan, which has resulted in the addition of three major buying organizations joining Cortex since October 31, 2009. These buying organizations will expose a larger number of suppliers to the Network. More suppliers on the Network will increase the transactions flowing through the Network which is expected to further grow our recurring access and usage fee revenue stream.
The current economic downturn may encourage companies to focus on cost saving measures. The Company's services assist companies in this goal by providing them with an automated eProcurement solution which could assist in reducing their internal costs and improving controls.
Management intends to hold quarterly conference calls to discuss future quarterly earnings starting in conjunction with our fiscal Q3 financial release. |
