LONDON, ON, Sept. 11, 2025 /CNW/ – Odd Burger Corporation (TSXV: ODD) (OTCPK: ODDAF) (FSE: IA9) (“Odd Burger” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Agreement”) with Westmount Ventures Inc. d/b/a Rockcliffe Capital (“Rockcliffe”), under which the Company may issue and sell common shares for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $2.5 million over a 24-month period, subject to TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) rules and approval.

Initial Drawdown of $1.5 Million

James McInnes, the Selling Shareholder has delivered his first drawdown notice to Rockcliffe in the amount of $1,500,000 (the “Initial Drawdown”). Following a ten (10) day pricing period commencing on the trading day immediately following the date of the drawdown notice. James McInnes, an insider of the Company, shall transfer that number of common shares equal to the product of the Initial Drawdown amount of $1,500,000 divided by the price per common share equal to an 8% discount to the average daily volume weighted average price of the common shares on the TSXV during the pricing period, subject to a minimum common share price equal to the greater of the Discounted Market Price of the common shares immediately prior to the notice of Initial Drawdown and this press release.

  • Commitment Fee: $100,000, payable in shares.
  • Work Fee: $40,000, payable in cash and deducted from proceeds.
  • Net Proceeds to Odd Burger: $1,360,000 (the “Refill Private Placement Amount”).
  • Transaction Expenses: The Company may also reimburse the investor’s legal and due diligence expenses, capped at 2% of the Maximum Commitment Amount.

Refill Private Placement

Following the Initial Drawdown, Odd Burger will complete a “refill private placement” with the Selling Shareholder, James McInnes, who is an insider of the Company. Under this structure, the Selling Shareholder directs the investor’s repayment of the drawdown amount to Odd Burger in exchange for receiving new treasury common shares, based on the Refill Private Placement Amount plus a 10% premium. The new treasury common shares will be issued at a price equal to the closing price of the Shares immediately prior to the press release announcing the terms and pricing of the Refill Private Placement, subject to a minimum common share price equal to the greater of the Discounted Market Price of the common shares immediately prior to the notice of Initial Drawdown and this press release.

Related Party Disclosure

The Refill Private Placement involves an insider of the Company and is therefore considered a “related party transaction” under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) and TSXV Policy 5.9. The Company is relying on the exemptions from:

  • the formal valuation requirement under Section 5.5(a) of MI 61-101, and
  • the minority shareholder approval requirement under Section 5.7(1)(a),

As the fair market value of the insider participation does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization and the aggregate value of the transaction is less than C$2.5 million.

Use of Proceeds

Net proceeds from the Refill Private Placement will flow into Odd Burger and will be used to support:

  • Growth initiatives and new franchise development
  • Expansion of retail distribution
  • Product development and innovation
  • General working capital requirements

TSXV Approval

The Agreement, Initial Drawdown, and Refill Private Placement remain subject to final approval of the TSXV.
