5. Full Description of Material Change
On December 7, 2023, the Issuer closed the Offering for gross proceeds of C$5,235,693. The Offering consisted of: (i) 19,252,785 Tranche 1 FT Shares at a price of $0.22 per Tranche 1 FT Share, and (ii) 3,704,000 Tranche 2 FT Shares at a price of $0.27 per Tranche 2 FT Share.
Haywood Securities Inc. (“ Haywood ”) acted as lead underwriter and sole bookrunner, on its own behalf and on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (together with Haywood, the “ Underwriters ”), including participation from Laurentian Bank Securities Inc.
The gross proceeds from the Offering will be used by the Issuer to incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” that will qualify as “flow-through mining expenditures” as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ Qualifying Expenditures ”) related to the Issuer’s projects in Canada. All Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers of the Offered FT Shares effective December 31, 2023.
In consideration for their services, the Issuer has paid the Underwriters a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds from the Offering and that number of non-transferable compensation options (the “ Compensation Options ”) as is equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of Offered FT Shares sold under the Offering. Each Compensation Option is exercisable
to acquire one common share of the Issuer at a price equal to C$0.22 for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Offering.
The Offered FT Shares are subject to the four-month hold period set out in National Instrument 45-102 – Resale of Securities , expiring on April 8, 2024. The Offering remains subject to the final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
An insider of the Issuer purchased 90,900 Tranche 1 FT Shares under the Offering pursuant to a subscription agreement that contained customary terms and that was in the same form as the subscription agreements entered into by other purchasers of Tranche 1 FT Shares. Such transaction constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“ MI 61-101 ”). The Issuer has relied on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of such insider participation.
A resolution of the board of directors of the Issuer approving the Offering was passed in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and no materially contrary view or abstention was expressed or made by any director.
The Issuer did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the closing of the Offering because the details of the insider participation were not finalized until closer to the closing and the Issuer wished to close the Offering as soon as practicable for business reasons.
