Troilus Gold Corp. (“Troilus” or the “Company”, TSX: TLG, OTCQX:
CHXMF; FSE: CM5R) is pleased to announce that it has entered into
an agreement with Haywood Securities Inc.
(“
Haywood”) and Desjardins Capital Markets
(“
Desjardins”), on behalf of themselves and a
syndicate of underwriters to be formed (collectively, together with
Haywood and Desjardins, the “
Underwriters”)
pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a
bought deal public offering basis, (i) 48.6 million units of the
Company (the “
Units”) at a price of C$0.35 per
Unit (the “
Unit Issue Price”), (ii) 7.4 million
traditional flow-through shares of the Company (the “
FT
Shares”) at a price of C$0.405 per FT Share (the
“
FT Issue Price”); and (iii) 4.8 million Québec
flow-through shares of the Company (the “
QFT
Shares” and together with the Units and FT Shares, the
“
Offered Securities”) at a price of C$0.42 per QFT
Share (the “
QFT Issue Price”), representing total
gross proceeds to the Company of C$22,023,000 (the
“
Offering”).
Each Unit will consist
of one common share of the Company (a “Share”) and
one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole such
warrant, a “Warrant”) exercisable at a price of
C$0.45 per Share for a period of 24 months following the closing of
the Offering.
In addition, the
Company has agreed to grant to the Underwriters an over-allotment
option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) exercisable,
in whole or in part, at the sole discretion of the Underwriters, to
purchase up to an additional 15% of Offered Securities, in any
combination of Units, FT Shares, and/or QFT Shares, at the Unit
Issue Price, FT Issue Price, and/or the QFT Issue Price, as
applicable, for a period of up to 30 days following closing of the
Offering.
The gross proceeds
from the sale of the FT Shares and QFT Shares will be used by the
Company to incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” that
qualify as “flow-through mining expenditures” as such terms are
defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada). Purchasers of QFT Shares
will also qualify for inclusion in the “exploration base relating
to certain Québec exploration expenses” and in the “exploration
base relating to certain Québec surface mining expenses or oil and
gas exploration expenses” within the meaning of the Taxation Act
(Québec) (collectively, the “Qualifying
Expenditures”) related to the Corporation’s projects in
Québec on or before December 31, 2025. All Qualifying Expenditures
will be renounced in favour of the subscribers of the FT Shares and
QFT Shares effective December 31, 2024. The net proceeds from the
sale of the Units will be used by the Company to fund exploration
and development at the Company’s Troilus gold project, and for
working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Offered Securities
will be offered by way of short form prospectus in each of the
provinces of Canada, pursuant to National Instrument 44-101 – Short
Form Prospectus Distributions. The Units may also be sold into the
United States pursuant to an exemption from the registration
requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) and in such
other jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States as
agreed, in each case in accordance with all applicable laws and
provided that no prospectus, registration statement or similar
document is required to be filed in such jurisdiction.
The Offering is
scheduled to close on or about October 15, 2024, subject to
customary closing conditions, including receipt of all necessary
approvals including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange
(“TSX”).
The securities offered
in the Offering have not been, and will not be, registered under
the U.S. Securities Act or any U.S. state securities laws, and may
not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the
account or benefit of, United States persons absent registration or
any applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the
U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. This
news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the
