| Subsequent events | 25. Subsequent events: On June 8, 2022, Neptune announced that the launch of a new Consumer Packaged Goods ("CPG") focused strategic plan to reduce costs, improve the Corporation's path to profitability and enhance current shareholder value. This plan builds on the Corporation's initial strategic review that took place in fall of 2021 and focuses on two primary actions: (1) planned accelerated divestiture of the Canadian cannabis business and (2) a realignment of focus and operational resources toward increasing the value of Neptune's consumer products business. With the planned divestiture of its cannabis business, Neptune is renewing its focus on the core brands – Sprout Organics and Biodroga Solutions. On June 9, 2022, Neptune announced the completion of the Corporation's proposed consolidation of its common shares (the "Common Shares") on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation Common Share for every thirty-five (35) pre-consolidation Common Shares (the "Share Consolidation"). The post-Share Consolidation Common Shares commenced trading on the NASDAQ and the TSX at the market open on June 13, 2022 . The Share Consolidation reduced the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding from approximately 198 million Common Shares to approximately 5.7 million Common Shares as at June 13, 2022. On June 23, 2022, Neptune closed agreements with several institutional investors for the purchase and sale of an aggregate of 1,300,000 common shares of the Corporation, 645,526 pre-funded warrants and accompanying series of warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,591,052 common shares warrants, at an offering price of $2.57 per share and accompanying warrants in a registered direct offering priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules. Each series of warrants have an exercise price of $2.32 per share and are immediately exercisable upon issuance. One series of warrants will expire two years following the date of issuance and one series of warrants will expire five years following the date of issuance. The gross proceeds from the offering are $5 million, prior to deducting placement agent's fees and other offering expenses payable by Neptune. The Pre-funded warrants were fully exercised on June 24, 2022 for $64.55. |
