August 19 2024 - 11:18AM
Emerita Resources Corp. (TSXV: EMO) (the “
Company”
or “
Emerita”) announces that, further to its news
release dated August 14, 2024, it it has drawn down and received
USD$6 million in funding under the first tranche of its credit
agreement dated August 14, 2024, as amended (the “
Loan
Agreement”), entered into by the Company and Nebari
Natural Resources Credit Fund II, LP (the
“
Lender”). Please see the Company’s news release
dated August 14, 2024 for further details on the Loan Agreement.
In connection with the receipt of the funding
under the first tranche of the Loan Agreement, the Company issued
9,963,636 non-transferable common share purchase warrants (the
“Loan Bonus Warrants”) to a nominated affiliate of
the Lender, with each Loan Bonus Warrant entitling the holder to
acquire one common share of the Company (each a “Warrant
Share”) at an exercise price of $0.825 per Warrant Share
(the “Tranche 1 Exercise Price”) until August 16,
2028, being the maturity date of the Loan Agreement. Pursuant to
applicable Canadian securities laws, the Loan Bonus Warrants will
be subject to a statutory hold period ending on December 17, 2024.
The Tranche 1 Exercise Price is at a 25% premium to the closing
price of the Company’s shares on August 14, 2024 of $0.66.
To the extent the second and third tranches
under the Loan Agreement are drawn down by the Company, further
non-transferable common share purchaser warrants of the Company
would be issued pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and
would entitle the holder thereof to purchase one common share of
the Company at an exercise price equal to a 25% premium to the
lower of: (i) the 20-day VWAP of the Company’s share price on the
date which the Company issues its request for the advance in
respect of such tranche under which such warrant is being issued;
and (ii) the Market Price (as such term is defined under the
policies of the TSXV) as of the date which the Company issues its
request for the advance in respect of such tranche under which such
warrant is being issued, until the date that is 48 months following
the closing of the first tranche. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if: (1) the 20-day VWAP is lower than the Market Price; and (2) the
25% premium to the 20-day VWAP is also lower than the Market Price,
then the exercise price for any such warrants shall be deemed to be
equal to the Market Price. The exercise price for any warrants
issued pursuant to the Loan Agreement shall not be lower than the
Market Price.
The proceeds of the Loan Agreement are to be
used by Emerita for working capital requirements related to
exploration and geological drilling, advancement of study work,
environmental permitting at its wholly-owned Iberian Belt West
Project (the “IBW Project”), and general and
administrative costs of the Company.
Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the
Loan may be repaid prior to its maturity at any time subject to the
additional payment of a make-whole threshold. If the Loan is
reduced or repaid during the first year of its term, the expiry
date of a pro rata number of the total Loan Bonus Warrants
outstanding will be reduced to the later of: (i) one year from
issuance of the Loan Bonus Warrants; and (ii) 30 days from the
reduction or repayment of the Loan.
Drawing on the second and third tranches under
the Loan Agreement are at the Company’s discretion subject to
satisfying applicable milestones and subject to the approval of the
TSX Venture Exchange.
