It appears that Aurora Cannabis (TSX: ACB) (NYSE: ACB) has been somewhat successful in its previously announced attempt to raise some funds. The company issued an update this morning following our earlier coverage, announcing that it has priced a US$150 million underwritten public offering. In Canadian dollars, it translates to roughly C$195.91 million.
The financing will see a total of 20 million units of the company sold at a price of US$7.50 per unit, raising a gross figure of US$150 million. Each unit is to contain one common share and one half warrant, with each warrant valid for a period of 40 months following the close of the financing. Each full warrant can be exercised at a price of US$9.00 per share.
An over allotment option has also been granted, valid for a period of thirty days, to increase the financing by 15%. If exercised, it would bring the total financing to US$172.50 million.
