In preparation for its listing this week on an American stock exchange, Hexo (TSX:HEXO) announced Tuesday it intends to raise $50 million to fund its expansion and product development plans.
Hexo said this week it’s filing an update to a prospectus dated Dec. 14 of last year. The final offering will see the Gatineau pot producer list additional common shares on both the Toronto Stock Exchange and the NYSE American, the small-cap U.S. exchange that Hexo got the green light to trade on last week. Hexo is expected to begin listing on the NYSE American as of Wednesday.
Hexo’s offering will be underwritten by CIBC World Markets and BMO Capital Markets and includes a 15 per cent over-allotment option.
