NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMENATION IN THE
UNITED STATES
Pinecrest Resources Ltd. ("Pinecrest" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:PCR)
announces that it has amended the structure of its financing as previously
announced on May 22, 2014. The Company will now be undertaking a non-brokered
private placement (the "Private Placement") to raise Cdn$3,000,000 through the
issuance of 15,000,000 units (the "Units") at a purchase price of $0.20 per
Unit, rather than the previously announced subscription receipts.
Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company and one
common share purchase warrant (each a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the
holder to acquire an additional common share of the Company for $0.30 for a
period of 24 months from the closing date.
The Private Placement will be conducted in reliance upon British Columbia
Instrument 45-534 (the "Instrument") which permits an issuer to distribute
securities to its existing shareholders, subject to the terms and conditions of
the Instrument. The Company has set May 28, 2014 as the record date for the
purpose of determining existing shareholders of the Company who are entitled to
purchase Units under the Private Placement. This exemption is not available to
shareholders resident in Ontario or Newfoundland, or certain jurisdictions
outside of Canada. The Company may combine the offering under the Instrument
with sales pursuant to other available prospectus exemptions, including sales to
accredited investors.
The Company may accept qualifying subscriptions of up to $15,000 from existing
shareholders under the Instrument, and advises interested investors to contact
the Company. In the event that subscriptions received exceed Cdn$3,000,000,
Units will be allocated pro-rata among all subscribers. The Offering is subject
a minimum of Cdn$3,000,000.
As previously announced on May 22, 2014, the completion of the Private Placement
is subject to certain conditions including, the prior completion of the
consolidation of Pinecrest's share capital on a 4:1 basis, meaning four
pre-consolidated shares for one post-consolidated share, and the concurrent
completion of Pinecrest's acquisition (the "Acquisition") of 100% of the legal
and beneficial ownership of the Enchi gold project (the "Enchi Gold Project")
located in South West Ghana.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement (net of
transaction costs) to advance the Enchi Gold Project by expending an aggregate
of $550,000 on a phase 1 work program which is expected to include a
metallurgical test program, a preliminary economic assessment and a geotechnical
assessment, $277,000 for operations in Ghana, $530,000 for general and
administrative purposes with the balance of $1,150,000 to be used for general
working capital purposes.
The Company will pay to arm's length finders a finder's fee of 6.0% of the gross
proceeds raised under the Private Placement in cash or at the election of the
finder in common shares of Pinecrest, and will issue to the finders such number
of common share purchase warrants as is equal to 6.0% of the number of Units
sold under the Private Placement exercisable for a period of 24 months from the
closing of the Private Placement at an exercise price of Cdn$0.20 per share.
All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement will be subject
to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day from the closing date of
the Private Placement. The Private Placement is subject to Exchange acceptance.
The offer and sale of the securities offered in the Private Placement has not
been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or any state securities laws, and such securities may not be offered or
sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from
such registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer
to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities in the United
States or in any jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or solicitation would be
unlawful.
