ANGUS GOLD INC. (TSX-V: GUS |
OTC:ANGVF) (“
Angus” or the
“
Company”
) is pleased to
announce it has closed its previously announced brokered private
placement. The Offering was completed through a syndicate of agents
led by Beacon Securities Limited (“
Beacon”), and
including Canaccord Genuity Corp. (together with Beacon, the
“
Agents”). The Offering was comprised of 5,000,000
flow-through units (the “
FT Units”) at a price of
$0.80 per FT Unit (the “
Issue Price”) for
aggregate gross proceeds of $4,000,000 pursuant to Part 5A (the
“
Listed Issuer Financing Exemption”) of National
Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (the
“
Offering”).
Each FT Unit consists of one common share of the
Company and one half of one common share purchase warrant of the
Company (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), each of
which will qualify as a “flow-through share” within the meaning of
the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”).
Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to
acquire one common share of the Company (a “Warrant
Share”) at a price per Warrant Share of $0.80 for a period
of 24 months from the closing of the Offering. The Company
will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds from the sale of the
FT Units to incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” within
the meaning of the Tax Act that qualify as “flow-through mining
expenditures” (as defined in the Tax Act) and “eligible Ontario
exploration expenditures” as defined in the Taxation Act (Ontario)
(the “Qualifying Expenditures”) on the properties
of the Company, on or before December 31, 2025, and to renounce all
the Qualifying Expenditures in favour of the subscribers of the FT
Units effective December 31, 2024.
The FT Units issued under Listed Issuer
Financing Exemption to Canadian subscribers will not be subject to
a hold period in Canada (except to the extent the TSX Venture
Exchange’s four-month hold period applies to the FT Units issued to
certain insiders of the Company). The Offering has been
conditionally approved by the TSX Venture Exchange and is subject
to final approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.
Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd, a major shareholder of
the Company holding 10.6% equity interest in the Company prior to
completion of the Offering (the “Insider”),
participated in the Offering, subscribing for 500,000 FT Units.
Such participation of the Insider constitutes a “related party
transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101
– Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special
Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The related party
transaction is exempt from minority approval, information circular,
and formal valuation requirements pursuant to the exemptions
contained in Sections 5.5(a) and (b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as
neither the fair market value of the gross securities issued nor
the consideration paid exceeds 25% of the Company’s market
capitalization and none of the Company’s securities are listed on
the stock exchanges specified under MI 61-101. The Company did not
file a material change report with respect to the participation of
the Insider at least 21 days before closing of the Offering as the
details of the Insider’s participation in the Offering had not been
settled and the Company intended to complete the Offering in an
expeditious manner.
As consideration for brokered services provided
to the Company in connection with the Offering, the Company paid
the Agents, a cash commission in the amount of $214,320 and a
corporate finance cash fee in the amount $13,500 (plus applicable
taxes).
The securities offered pursuant to the Offering
have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S.
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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 press release shall not constitute an offer
to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be
any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
