ITEM 3.02 – Unregistered Sale Of Equity Securities.

On March 26, 2013, Energizer closed a CAD$2,358,000 non-brokered private placement by issuing 12,350,000 Common Shares.

 

In connection with the closing, the Energizer paid compensation consisting of a cash fee of CAD$86,000 and issued 270,000 broker warrants. Each broker warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share of Energizer at a price of CAD$0.20 for a period of 12 months from the date of issue.

 

The securities were issued to non-U.S. Purchasers, in reliance upon the exemption provided by Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for a transaction not involving a public offering. The non-U.S. Purchasers acknowledged the following: The non-U.S. Purchaser is not a United States Person, nor is the non-U.S. Purchaser acquiring the Securities hares directly or indirectly for the account or benefit of a United States Person.  None of the funds used by the non-U.S. Purchaser to purchase the Securities have been obtained from United States Persons. For purposes of this Agreement, “United States Person” within the meaning of U.S. tax laws, means a citizen or resident of the United States, any former U.S. citizen subject to Section 877 of the Internal Revenue Code, any corporation, or partnership organized or existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state, jurisdiction, territory or possession thereof and any estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax irrespective of its source, and within the meaning of U.S. securities laws, as defined in Rule 902(o) of Regulation S, means: (i) any natural person resident in the United States; (ii) any partnership or corporation organized or incorporated under the laws of the United States; (iii) any estate of which any executor or administrator is a U.S. person; (iv) any trust of which any trustee is a U.S. person; (v) any agency or branch of a foreign entity located in the United States; (vi) any non-discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held by a dealer or other fiduciary for the benefit or account of a U.S. person; (vii) any discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or trust) held by a dealer or other fiduciary organized, incorporated, or (if an individual) resident in the United States; and (viii) any partnership or corporation if organized under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction, and formed by a U.S. person principally for the purpose of investing in securities not registered under the Securities Act, unless it is organized or incorporated, and owned, by accredited investors (as defined in Rule 501(a)) who are not natural persons, estates or trusts.
