Balance Sheet and Liquidity ¹

As of June 30, 2024, LeddarTech’s consolidated cash balance totaled $5.7 million, compared to $5.1 million on September 30, 2023.

Bridge Financing and Waiver under Desjardins Credit Facility. LeddarTech has reached an agreement in principle with several of its principal shareholders and its principal lender, pursuant to which such parties would fund the Company with an aggregate of US$9.0 million in bridge debt financing in order to meet the Company’s near-term obligations (the “Bridge Financing”) while the Company continues to progress its discussions, including with certain potential strategic investors, to secure US$35.0 million or more in additional equity capital (the “Equity Financing”).

The Bridge Financing would be comprised of two tranches, with the first tranche in the amount of US$6.0 million to be funded on or about August 19, 2024, and the second tranche in the amount of US$3.0 million to be funded on or about October 15, 2024. The second tranche of the Bridge Financing would be conditioned on, among other things, receipt by the Company, not later than October 14, 2024, of satisfactory evidence of investor participation in the Equity Financing. The Bridge Financing would mature on November 15, 2024.

Although the parties have reached an agreement in principle, the Bridge Financing transaction is subject to the finalization and execution of definitive agreements by the relevant parties. There can be no assurance that the parties will agree on the terms to be included in such definitive agreements, that the lenders will invest the full US$6.0 million in the first tranche of the Bridge Financing, that the conditions to the second tranche of the Bridge Financing will be satisfied or that the Company will be successful in raising any amount at all in the Bridge Financing transaction. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the Company will successfully complete the Equity Financing transaction in the amounts contemplated by the Bridge Financing or raise any capital in the Equity Financing transaction at all.

In order to allow sufficient time to finalize the definitive documents in connection with the Bridge Financing described above, the Company also has entered into a Twelfth Amending Agreement (the “Amendment and Waiver”) with Fédération des caisses Desjardins du Québec (“Desjardins”) with respect to the Amended and Restated Financing Offer dated as of April 5, 2023 (as amended, the “Desjardins Credit Facility”). Pursuant to previous amendments to the Desjardins Credit Facility, the Company and Desjardins had temporarily reduced the Company’s obligation to maintain an unencumbered cash balance (the “Minimum Cash Covenant”) from $5.0 million to the current requirement of $250,000 through August 14, 2024. Pursuant to the Amendment and Waiver, the Minimum Cash Covenant threshold of $250,000 will be extended through August 19, 2024, following which time it will be increased to $1.0 million until the earlier of the date of disbursement of an equity investment in the Company for a minimum gross proceeds amount of US$35.0 million (the “Short-Term Outside Date”) and November 15, 2024, and $5.0 million at all times after the earlier of the Short-Term Outside Date and November 15, 2024.

Any debt or equity securities to be offered and sold in the Bridge Financing transaction or the Equity Financing transaction may not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or State securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission or compliance with an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in the Bridge Financing transaction or the Equity Financing transaction, nor shall there be any sale of such securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS financial measures. A non-IFRS financial measure is a financial measure used to depict our historical or expected future financial performance, financial position or cash flow and, with respect to its composition, either excludes an amount that is included in, or includes an amount that is excluded from, the composition of the most directly comparable financial measure disclosed in Company’s consolidated primary financial statements.

In Q2-2024, the Company started to use these two new non-IFRS financial measures because we believe these non-IFRS financial measures are reflective of our ongoing operating results and provide readers with an understanding of management’s perspective on and analysis of our performance.

Below are descriptions of the non-IFRS financial measures that we use to explain our results as well as reconciliations to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures.

EBITDA (loss) is calculated as net earnings (loss) before interest expenses (income), deferred income taxes, depreciation of property and equipment, depreciation of right-of-use assets and amortization of intangible assets.

EBITDA (loss) should not be considered a net loss in measuring performance, nor should it be an alternative to a net loss in measuring performance or used as a measure of cash flow.

Adjusted EBITDA (loss) is calculated as EBITDA (loss), adjusted for foreign exchange gain (loss), loss (gain) on revaluation of financial instruments carried at fair value, gain or loss on lease modification, share-based compensation, listing expense, transaction costs, restructuring costs and impairment loss on intangible assets.

The following tables set forth a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA to net loss reported in accordance with IFRS for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
