EDMONTON, June 28, 2018 /CNW/ - Radient Technologies ("Radient", or the "Company") (TSX-V: RTI) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Canaccord Genuity Corp. ("Canaccord"), as lead underwriter on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (collectively, the "Underwriters"), under which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a bought deal basis, 16,700,000 units ("Units") of the Company at a price of $1.20 per Unit (the "Offering Price") for aggregate gross proceeds of $20,000,000 (the "Bought Deal Offering"). The Underwriters have been granted the option (the "Over-Allotment Option") to purchase up to an additional 2,505,000 Units, exercisable in whole or in part, at any time up to 30 days following the closing of the Bought Deal Offering.

Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Common Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one additional common share (a "Warrant Share") of the Company for a period of two years from the closing date of the Bought Deal Offering at an exercise price of $1.50 per Warrant Share.  If, at any time prior to the expiry date of the Warrants, the volume weighted average price of Radient's common shares exceeds $2.25 for 20 consecutive trading days, the Company may deliver a notice to the holders of Warrants accelerating the expiry date of the Warrants to the date that is 30 days following the date of such notice (the "Accelerated Exercise Period"). Any unexercised Warrants shall automatically expire at the end of the Accelerated Exercise Period.

The Units comprising the Bought Deal Offering will be offered by way of short form prospectus in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario. The proceeds of the Bought Deal Offering and the Private Placement (described below) will be used to upgrade the Company's main Edmonton extraction line for dedicated hemp extraction and purification, for additional capacity in North America and/or Europe and for general corporate and working capital purposes.

In connection with the Bought Deal Offering, the Company has agreed to pay to the Underwriters a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds from the Bought Deal Offering (the "Underwriters' Fee"). The Underwriters may elect to receive the Underwriters' Fee in Units, as may be permitted by applicable law. In addition to the Underwriters' Fee, the Company has agreed to issue to the Underwriters compensation options (the "Compensation Options"), exercisable at the Offering Price to purchase such number of Units as is equal to 6% of the aggregate number of Units sold. 

In addition to the Bought Deal Offering, the Company is arranging a concurrent private placement of Units with strategic investors for additional aggregate gross proceeds of up to $15 million (the "Private Placement"). In connection with the Private Placement, the Company may pay commission to certain finder (the "Finders") in cash, Units and/or Compensation Options, subject to the limitations set out in TSXV Policy 5.1 - Loans, Loan Bonuses, Finder's Fees and Commissions. The Company may increase the size of the Private Placement by up to 15% at its discretion.
