Each Unit consists of one common share (a “Common Share”) in the capital of the Company and one transferable Common Share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”).

Avanti Chief Executive Officer and Director, Chris Bakker, states, “We thank the syndicate of agents, new investors, our existing shareholders and insiders for their support via this oversubscribed financing. Our goal is to move forward with an appraisal well at Greater Knappen, which is a key milestone towards production.”

The Offering was conducted on a “best efforts” agency basis by Raymond James Ltd., as lead agent and sole bookrunner, on behalf of a syndicate of agents (collectively, the “Agents”), which included Beacon Securities Limited, Cormark Securities Inc. and Haywood Securities Inc.
