The Issuer issued (i) 25,892,850 units (the “FT Units”) with each FT Unit comprised of one “flow-through” common share (a “FT Share”) of the Issuer and one-half of one non-flow-through common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”) at a price of C$0.035 per FT Unit for gross proceeds of C$906,249.75, and (ii) 82,099,214 non-flow-through units of the Issuer (the “Non-FT Units” and together with the FT Units, the “Securities”) with each Non-FT Unit comprised of one common share (issued on a non-“flow-through” basis) and one whole Warrant, at a price of C$0.035 per Non-FT Unit for gross proceeds of C$2,873,472.49. Each whole Warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share at a price of C$0.05 per share for a period of 24 months following the closing date of the Offering. Each FT Share partially comprising the FT Units has been issued on a “flow-through” basis within the meaning of such term in the Income Tax Act (Canada). The Offering was led by Haywood Securities Inc. (the “Agent”).

Alamos Gold Inc. (“Alamos”) subscribed for 52,995,253 Non-FT Units at a purchase price of C$1,854,833.86 as part of the Offering. As a result, Alamos holds 52,995,253 common shares of the Issuer, or 11.10% of its issued and outstanding common shares on an undiluted basis, and 52,995,253 common share purchase warrants, or 19.99% of its issued and outstanding common shares on a partially diluted basis. Prior to the Offering, Alamos did not hold any common shares of the Issuer. Alamos and the Issuer have entered into an investor rights agreement, pursuant to which Alamos, provided that it owns at least a 10% interest in the Issuer, will be granted certain investor rights including but not limited to:

  • Alamos will have the right to participate in future equity financings of the Issuer to maintain its pro rata ownership prior to the equity financing. Alamos will have a one-time right, on the first equity financing completed under the investor rights agreement, to increase its ownership to 19.99% of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding common shares on a partially diluted basis.

  • Alamos will have the right to appoint one member to the Issuer’s Board of Directors.

  • Alamos will have the right to appoint two members to a newly created Exploration Committee, with the Issuer having the right to appoint any number of members.

The proceeds from the sale of the Securities will be used as set out in the press release of the Issuer announcing the Offering dated December 10, 2019 and will include using the proceeds from the sale of the

FT Units for “Canadian exploration expenses” (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) in connection with the mineral exploration programs of Red Pine.

In consideration for its services, the Issuer paid the Agent a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds from the Offering, being $226,783.33, and issued to the Agent 6,479,523 non-transferable options (“Compensation Options”) equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of Securities issued under the Offering. Each Compensation Options is exercisable to acquire one Non-FT Unit of the issuer at a price of C$0.05 per Non-FT Unit for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Offering. All of the securities issued or issuable in connection with the Offering, including the Compensation Options and all underlying securities, are subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day, or May 1, 2020, after the closing of the Offering and the issuance of such securities. The Offering is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
