All dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated‎.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HydroGraph Clean Power Inc. (CSE: ‎HG) (OTCQB: HGCPF) (the “Company” or “Hydro Graph”) is pleased to announce that, further to its news releases dated May 22, 2024, and June 7, 2024, the Company has closed its non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the Offering, HydroGraph issued an aggregate of 22,786,544 units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of $0.16 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,645,847.

‎“I would like to thank our shareholders for their continued support and the support of new shareholders as we close on our oversubscribed financing,” commented Kjirstin Breure, President and Interim CEO. “I look forward to focusing on our application development and scale up initiatives, as we move the company forward toward securing our first commercial contract in 2024.”

Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share (each a “Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.27 per Warrant Share for a period of 36 months after the closing date of the Offering (the “Closing Date”).

The Company paid cash finders’ fees to certain finders (the “Finders”) equal to 7% of the gross ‎proceeds raised by each Finder, and issued to Finders an aggregate of 950,679 finder warrants (each, a “Finder Warrant”), representing ‎‎7% of the aggregate number of Units sold to purchasers introduced to the Company by such ‎Finders.‎ Finder Warrants entitle the holder thereof to acquire one finder unit (the “Finder ‎‎Units”) at a ‎price of $0.16 for a period of 36 months from the Closing Date. Each Finder Unit will ‎consist of one Common ‎Share and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each ‎whole warrant, a “Finder Unit ‎Warrant”), and each Finder Unit Warrant will be exercisable to ‎purchase an additional Common ‎Share at a price of $0.27 per Common Share for a period of ‎36 months from the Closing Date.‎ PowerOne Capital Markets Limited and Haywood Securities Inc. acted as Finders in connection with a portion of the Offering.

HydroGraph intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for furthering application development at the GEIC (Graphene Engineering Innovation Center), production upscaling, business development and general working capital purposes.

Two insiders of the Company participated in the Offering and subscribed for a total of 1,350,000 Units for gross proceeds of C$216,000. The insiders are related parties of ‎HydroGraph, and therefore the Offering is considered a “related party transaction” ‎subject to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special ‎Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation ‎and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) ‎of MI 61-101 on the basis that participation in the Offering by insiders did not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.‎

‎All securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a hold period of four ‎‎‎months and one day from June 11, 2024.‎

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of any securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the “United States” or to “U.S. persons” (as such terms are defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act) unless registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration requirements is available.
