 TSX-V: ACT TORONTO, June 5 /CNW/ - Active Control Technology Inc. (TSX-V:ACT) announced today that Mr. Richard Hazell, Chairman of ACT, an insider of the Company, has agreed to participate in a non-brokered private placement totaling up to $1,100,000 of gross proceeds for the Company through the sale of up to 5,000,000 of his free trading common shares at a price of $0.22 per share. Mr. Hazell, directly and indirectly, owns just under 14 million shares representing approximately 9% of the current issued and outstanding shares of the Company. He has been involved in the Company for over 7 years and remains committed to the continued success of the Company's commercialization of the ActiveMine(TM) system. Mr. Hazel will receive no financial gain, directly or indirectly, through this transaction. The total gross proceeds realized by Mr. Hazell on the sale of his shares (being sold as a "swap" - i.e. exchanging his free trading shares for 4 month, plus one day hold shares) will be immediately reinvested into the Company by Mr. Hazell purchasing, on a private placement basis, up to 5,000,000 units (the "Units") of the Company at $0.22 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one (1) common share and one-half (1/2) of a common share purchase warrant ("Warrant") exercisable for 24 months at $0.35 per full Warrant. The purchasers of Mr. Hazell's 5,000,000 common shares will also receive 2,500,000 Warrants (on a pro-rata basis) out of the Units subscribed for by Mr. Hazell. Such Warrants will bear a standard resale legend, as will the common shares forming part of the Units. Aberdeen Gould Capital Markets Ltd. (the "Agent") of Toronto, Canada will receive a commission of 7% cash of the gross amount raised in the private placement and will also receive compensation units equal to 7% of the gross Units sold - such compensation units having the same characteristics of the Units. The private placement by Mr. Hazell is exempt from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101") by virtue of the exemptions contained in section 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in that the fair market value of the consideration for the securities of the Company to be issued to the insider does not exceed 25% of its market capitalization. The net proceeds of the financing will be used for working capital purposes.
