VERSES Announces Proposed Warrant Amendment

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VERSES AI Inc. (NEO:VERS) ("VERSES'' or the "Company”), a cognitive computing company specializing in next generation Artificial Intelligence, announces its plan to amend certain terms of an aggregate of 1,316,787 Class A subordinate voting share purchase warrants, which were issued as consideration to certain arm’s length finders (the “Finder Warrants”) as consideration for the introduction of certain subscribers to the Company in connection with its private placement offering of 20,000,000 special warrants (“Special Warrants”) at an issue price of $0.80 per Special Warrant for aggregate gross proceeds of $16,000,000, which completed in two tranches on October 21, 2021 and November 2, 2021.

Each Finder Warrant is exercisable at an issue price of $0.80 per Finder Warrant by the holder thereof into one unit of the Company (a “Finder Unit”) for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. Each Finder Unit is comprised of one Class A Subordinate Voting Share of the Company (“Class A Share”) and one-half of one warrant to purchase one Class A Share (a “Finder Unit Warrant”), each Finder Unit Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one Class A Share (a “Finder Unit Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $1.20 per Finder Unit Warrant Share for a period of 24 months following the date of issuance.

The Company wishes to amend the Finder Warrants by changing the expiration date of the Finder Warrants from October 21, 2023 and November 2, 2023, as applicable, to August 15, 2025 (the “Expiration Amendment”).

The Expiration Amendment requires shareholder approval in accordance with policy 10.09(2) of the Neo Exchange Inc.’s (“NEO”) listing manual. Pursuant to the exemption in 10.09(2), the Company expects to obtain written consents from over 50% of the disinterested shareholders of the Company for the Expiration Amendment.

The completion of the Expiration Amendment remains subject to receipt of the aforementioned disinterested shareholder approval as well as the acceptance of the NEO.
