/EIN News/ -- TORONTO, May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Volatus Aerospace Inc. (TSXV:FLT) (OTCQX:TAKOF) (Frankfurt: ABB) (“Volatus” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced upsized and fully subscribed non-brokered listed issuer financing exemption (LIFE) private placement (the "LIFE Offering"). The Company issued 25,000,000 units of the Company ("Units") at a price of $0.12 per Unit for gross proceeds of $3,000,000. Each Unit is comprised of one common voting share in the capital of the Company (“Common Share”) and 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 an exercise price of $0.20 per Warrant Share for a period of 36 months following the date of issuance.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the LIFE Offering for capital expenditures, inventory and general corporate and working capital purposes.

In connection with the LIFE Offering, the Company paid an aggregate of approximately $280,000 as advisory and legal fees. The LIFE Offering is subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”).

The Units issued under the LIFE Offering were offered to purchasers pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption (LIFE) under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions and therefore the securities issued to such purchasers are not subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws. There is an Offering Document related to the LIFE Offering that can be accessed under the Company’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company’s website at www.volatusaerospace.com.

In addition, the Company announces that it has granted a total of 1,500,000 restricted share units (“RSU’s”) to certain consultants of the Company under the terms of the Company’s restricted share unit plan (the “RSU Plan”). In accordance with the RSU Plan, each RSU represents the right to receive one common voting share of the Company or the equivalent cash value thereof, at the Company’s discretion.
