Red Cloud Securities Inc. acted as lead agent and sole bookrunner on behalf of a syndicate of agents including PI Financial Corp. (together, the “ Agents ”).
Each Subscription Receipt entitles the holder thereof to automatically receive, upon satisfaction or waiver, as applicable, of certain escrow release conditions (the “ Escrow Release Conditions ”), one unit of PUR (a “ Unit ”). Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of PUR (each, a “ Unit Share ”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of PUR (each whole warrant, a “ Warrant ”). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of PUR (each, a “ Warrant Share ”) at a price of C$2.00 for a period of 36 months following the date of issuance of the Warrants. The Escrow Release Conditions include the satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the completion of the Spin-Out as well as receipt of conditional approval for the listing of PUR’s common shares (the “ Listing ”) on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “ TSXV ”).
The Agents have an option, exercisable in whole or in part within 30 days of the date of closing of the PUR Offering, to offer for sale up to an additional 2,333,334 Subscription Receipts at the Offering Price for additional gross proceeds of up to $3,500,000.
The proceeds of the PUR Offering, net of the cash commission payable to the Agents and the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agents, will be held in escrow and not released to PUR unless the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied on or before December 22, 2023 (the date of satisfaction or waiver, as applicable, of the Escrow Release Conditions being, the “ Escrow Release Date ”). Following the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, the net proceeds of the PUR Offering are expected to be used to fund the proposed exploration programs for PUR’s projects located in the Great Divide Basin of Wyoming and the Uravan Mineral Belt of Colorado as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.
In addition, PUR issued 174,343 broker warrants (the “ Broker Warrants ”) to the Agents. Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of PUR at the Offering Price for a period of 36 months following the closing of the PUR Offering.
