PRESS RELEASE — Detroit, Michigan/July 19, 202/(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc., (the “Company”) (OTCPK:AITX), a global leader in AI-driven security and productivity solutions for enterprise clients, is pleased to announce that a new equity financing agreement is expected to be in effect the week of July 22, 2024.
The Company estimates that the new agreement will increase the amount of money it receives per share sold to its institutional investor by between 25–35%. This is a substantial improvement that gives the Company and its investors maximum ability to fund operations and growth with less share dilution than under prior circumstances.
Under the new agreement the purchase price is 95% of the lowest Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) for the 5 trading days two trading days following the Purchase Notice in comparison with the previous agreement which was 80% of the lowest traded price in the 9 previous trading days before the Purchase Notice. As the Company’s stock has some volatility, it is not possible to estimate the exact difference in lowest VWAP vs lowest traded price although on some days it was 40% or more below VWAP.
Based on recent history, the lowest VWAP is usually at minimum 10% to 20% higher than lowest traded prices, giving an overall increase in net cash on each share purchase of 25% to 35%. This savings is due both to the lower discount and higher purchase price.
“We are extremely pleased with the terms of this new equity financing agreement,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO of AITX. “Negotiating this agreement at a lower cost and reduced share dilution compared to previous financings is a significant achievement for us and a testament to the community that is supporting our mission of bringing AI-enabled security and safety solutions to the world. This will immediately and directly enhance our financial flexibility, improving our ability to continue funding for the acceleration of growth and innovation. It’s a win-win situation that benefits both our company and our shareholders.”
