G2 Goldfields Closes C$42.0 Million Private Placement
August 01 2024 - 9:34AM
G2 Goldfields Inc. (“
G2” or the
“
Company”) (TSX:GTWO, OTCQX:GUYGF) is pleased to
announce that it has closed the previously announced non-brokered
private placement (the “
Offering”) of 28,965,365
common shares of the Company (the “
Shares”) at a
price of $1.45 per Share for aggregate gross proceeds of
approximately C$42 million.
The net proceeds from the Offering are expected
to be used to advance exploration activities at the Company’s Oko
project in Guyana and for working capital and general corporate
purposes.
A single European investor purchased 20,000,000
Shares and AngloGold Ashanti Holdings plc (“AGA”)
purchased 8,965,365 Shares under the Offering, increasing AGA’s
ownership to approximately 15.0% of the outstanding Shares of G2
from approximately 12.8% immediately prior to closing of the
Offering.
In connection with the Offering, the Company
paid finder’s fees to Roth Canada, Inc. in an amount equal to 5.0%
of the gross proceeds from the sale of Shares to AGA.
The Shares have not been and will not be
registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the
“1933 Act”) and may not be
offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons (as defined
in Regulation S under the 1933 Act) unless the securities have been
registered under the 1933 Act or pursuant to an exemption from, or
in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of
the 1933 Act, and in compliance with any applicable securities laws
of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States.
Participation by AGA, an insider of the Company,
in the Offering was considered a “related party transaction”
pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority
Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI
61-101”). The Company was exempt from the requirements to
obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder approval in
connection with AGA’s participation in the Offering in reliance of
sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101. A material change
report in connection with the participation of AGA in the Offering
will be filed less than 21 days in advance of the closing of the
Offering, which the Company deemed reasonable in the circumstances
so as to be able to avail itself of potential financing
opportunities and complete the Offering in an expeditious
manner.
