Latin Metals Inc. (
“Latin Metals”
or the
“Company”) -
(TSXV: LMS)
(
OTCQB: LMSQF) announces that it has closed
its previously announced non-brokered private placement
(the “Financing”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,000,000
through the issuance of 25,000,000 units (each a “Unit”) at a
subscription price of $0.08 per Unit.
Each Unit consists of one common share in the
capital of Latin Metals (each, a “Share”) and one half of one
common share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant entitling
the holder thereof to purchase one Share at a price of
$0.15 per Share for a period of 24 months from the closing of
the Financing.
In connection with the
closing of the Financing, the Company paid finder’s fees on a
portion of the Financing to Leede Financial Inc. consisting of a
$70,350 cash commission and 879,375 finder’s warrants, each
finder’s warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Share
at a price of $0.08 per Share for a period of 12 months from the
closing of the Financing. All securities issued by the Company
pursuant to the Financing are subject to a hold period of four
months and one day in Canada.
Certain officers, directors and a control person
of the Company (collectively, the “Related Parties”) participated
in the Financing pursuant to the terms described above, purchasing
in aggregate 10,225,000 Units. These constitute related party
transactions pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 –
Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions
(“MI 61-101”). The Company relied on Sections 5.5(a) and
5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 for an exemption from the formal valuation
and minority shareholder approval requirements, respectively, as at
the closing of the Financing, neither the fair market value of the
Units issued in connection with the Financing, nor the fair market
value of the consideration received by the Company for same,
insofar as it involved the Related Parties, exceeded 25% of the
Company’s market capitalization.
The proceeds from the
Financing are intended to be used for mineral exploration, project
generation, project acquisition, repayment of loans, and for
general working capital. The closing of the Financing is subject to
receipt of TSX Venture Exchange final approval.
