(OTC Bulletin Board: HFFI, HFFIU), parent to U-SWIRL International, Inc., the owner and franchisor of U-SWIRL Frozen Yogurt® cafes, today announced that it closed its secondary offering of 1.5 million units at $0.40 per unit, raising gross proceeds of $600,000. In addition, Paulson Investment Company, Inc., which served as the underwriter of the offering, exercised its option to purchase an additional 225,000 units to cover over-allotments. Consequently, total gross proceeds increased to $690,000.
Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one five-year, redeemable Class C public warrant. Each warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of common stock. Unless earlier separated in the discretion of the underwriter, the common stock and warrants will be quoted as a unit for up to 30 calendar days under the trading symbol "HFFIU," after which the common stock and warrants will each be quoted separately under "HFFI" and "HFFIY," respectively. Each Class C public warrant will be exercisable at $0.60 at any time following the separation of the unit and will expire in five years. However, the Company has the right to redeem the warrants at a redemption price of $0.05 per warrant at any time after the date on which the closing price of its common stock has equaled or exceeded $0.80 for five consecutive trading days.
Hank Cartwright, Chairman and CEO of Healthy Fast Food, stated, "Although we did not raise a significant sum of capital in this offering, the proceeds will be put to work immediately to develop our seventh Company-owned U-SWIRL cafe.
