BASE SHELF PROSPECTUS ACCESSIBLE AND PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT TO BE ACCESSIBLE WITHIN TWO BUSINESS DAYS ON SEDAR+
TORONTO, May 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TerraVest Industries Inc. (TSX:TVK) (“TerraVest” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce, that as a result of strong investor demand, it has entered into a revised agreement to increase the size of its previously announced bought deal treasury offering. Under the revised agreement, the Company has agreed to sell, on a bought deal basis, 1,134,000 common shares (the “Shares”) from treasury to a syndicate of underwriters (the “Underwriters”) with National Bank Financial Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corporation, and Desjardins Capital Markets acting as Co-Bookrunners. The Shares will be offered at a price of $74.25 per Share (the “Offering Price”), for gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $84,199,500 (the “Offering”).
As the Company continues to pursue acquisition opportunities, it wishes to maintain flexibility to take advantage of these opportunities should the situation warrant. The net proceeds from the Offering will be initially allocated towards repaying existing debt and supporting general corporate activities, until required for future acquisitions or growth opportunities.
The Company has also granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 166,000 Shares, representing approximately 15% of the size of the Offering (the “Over-Allotment Option”), on the same terms and conditions, exercisable in whole or in part, up to 30 days after the closing of the Offering. If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, the Company will receive additional gross proceeds of $12,325,500, for aggregate gross proceeds from the Offering of $96,525,000.
"The successful completion of the Offering will further strengthen our balance sheet and position us favourably to continue investing in and improving our current portfolio, while also pursuing our long-term strategy for acquisitions,” said Dustin Haw, CEO of TerraVest Industries Inc.
The Shares will be offered in each of the provinces of Canada by way of a prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the short form base shelf prospectus (the “Shelf Prospectus”) of the Company dated May 8, 2024.
Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about May 15, 2024. The Offering is subject to normal regulatory approvals, including approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange of the listing of the Shares.

Although management believes that the expectations represented in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.
By their nature, forward-looking statements require us to make assumptions and, accordingly, forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. There is significant risk that the forward-looking statements will not prove to be accurate. We caution readers of this news release not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements because a number of factors may cause actual future circumstances, results, conditions, actions or events to differ materially from the plans, expectations, estimates or intentions expressed in the forward-looking statements and the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements.
