The offering consisted of 22.5 million units at a price of 20 cents per unit. Each unit comprises one common share of the company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional common share at a price of 30 cents for a period of 24 months from the Sept. 5, 2025, subject to acceleration in the event the company's shares trade at or above 80 cents for 20 consecutive trading days.
The offering was led by PowerOne Capital Markets Ltd. acting as lead finder and was completed pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under National Instrument 45-106 -- Prospectus Exemptions, allowing for freely tradeable shares in Canada. In connection with the offering, the company paid cash finders' fees of approximately $150,290 and issued 751,450 finder warrants to certain arm's-length finders. Each finder warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one unit at a price of 20 cents for a period of 24 months following the closing date.
With the offering now closed, Full Circle is fully financed to execute on its strategic plan, including:
Advancing product development of FCL-X, the company's innovative lithium-ion battery fire-extinguishing agent;

Developing a dedicated training centre for fire response personnel;
Supporting working capital requirements for expanded operations.

"We thank our new and existing shareholders, and our dedicated staff, for their continued support as we move into a new phase of growth."
