TORONTO, Nov. 9, 2018 /CNW/ - Firm Capital American Realty Partners Corp. (the "Company"), (TSXV : FCA.U/FCA) is pleased to announce that it has successfully closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of units of the Company (the "Units"). Pursuant to the Private Placement, the Company issued 808,643 Units at a price of US$8.10 per Unit for gross proceeds of approximately US$6.6 million.

Each Unit is comprised of one common share (each, a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional Common Share at an exercise price of US$9.50 for a period of 24 months following the date of issue, subject to customary adjustment provisions.

The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used by the Company to fund prospective acquisitions of income-producing multi-family residential properties in the U.S. primarily in joint venture partnerships, to fund prospective investments in mortgage debt on real estate properties in the United States, for the repayment of corporate debt, for working capital and for general corporate purposes.

Further, the Company is also pleased to announce that the Ajmera family was an investor in the Private Placement and through Ojus Ajmera has joined the board as an independent director. 

Certain insiders of the Company participated in the Private Placement. Such participation represents a related-party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), but the transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of the transaction, nor the consideration paid, exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

Pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws, all securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to, among other things, a statutory hold period of four months and one day, which expires on March 10, 2019. The Private Placement remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
