The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about April 23, 2024 (the “Closing Date”) and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. Zefiro has received conditional approval to list the Shares, including Shares issued and sold pursuant to the Offering, on the Cboe Canada Inc. exchange (“Cboe Canada”) under the symbol “ZEFI”.
