LeddarTech Announces Adjustments to Warrant Exercise Price and Related Terms
QUEBEC CITY, Canada, February 14, 2024 — LeddarTech Holdings Inc. (“LeddarTech”) (Nasdaq: LDTC), an automotive software company that provides patented disruptive AI-based low-level sensor fusion and perception software technology, LeddarVision™, for ADAS, AD and parking applications, today announced that in accordance with the terms of the outstanding warrants expiring December 21, 2028 (CUSIP: 52328E113) (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of LeddarTech common stock without par value, the Warrant exercise price will be reduced to US $11.17 per share from the current US $11.50 per share. Corresponding adjustments will be made to the redemption provisions applicable to the Warrants. The adjustments are effective as of the close of business on February 9, 2024.
The adjustments are being made after LeddarTech considered the potentially dilutive impact on the Warrants of the share dividend (the “Prospector Share Dividend”) previously declared and paid by Prospector Capital Corp. (“Prospector”) to non-redeeming Prospector public stockholders at the time of the closing of the business combination between LeddarTech and Prospector, as more fully described in LeddarTech’s public filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Prospector Share Dividend was not made with respect to any other Prospector or LeddarTech shares issued and outstanding prior to or upon consummation of the business combination.
Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, LeddarTech retained an independent investment banking firm of recognized national standing who rendered their opinion that an adjusted exercise price of US $11.17, without any adjustment to the number of common shares issuable upon exercise, would be necessary to effectuate the intent and purpose of the anti-dilution provisions set forth in the warrant agreement. Further information on the Warrants and the adjustment to the Warrant exercise price, including the U.S. Federal income tax treatment of this adjustment, is available in the “Investors” section of LeddarTech’s website.
