On February 27, 2019, Loop Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a single institutional investor (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue and sell to the Purchaser in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”) an aggregate of 600,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock at a per share purchase price of $8.55 per share, for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $4.1 million, after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, of approximately $1.0 million. The Company expects that the Offering will close on or about March 1, 2019, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes and working capital.
