Falco Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:FPC) ("Falco" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with CIBC
Capital Markets as lead underwriter and sole bookrunner on behalf
of a syndicate of underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”)
pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to buy on a bought
deal private placement basis, 25,000,000 Units (the "Units")
at a price of C$0.40 per Unit (the "Offering"), representing
aggregate gross proceeds to Falco of C$10 million. Each Unit will
consist of one common share of the Company (each a “Common
Share”) and one-half-of-one common share purchase warrant (each
full warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will be exercisable
to acquire one Common Share (each a “Warrant Share”) until July 31,
2025, at an exercise price of C$0.55. Certain of the Company’s
existing shareholders, including Osisko Development Corp. and la
Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, have indicated to the
Company that they will participate in the Offering.
The expiry date of the Warrants may be
accelerated by the Company at any time following the six-month
anniversary of the closing date of the Offering if the
volume-weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the
TSX Venture Exchange is greater than C$0.80 for any 10 consecutive
trading days, at which time the Company may accelerate the expiry
date by issuing a press release announcing the amended warrant term
whereupon the Warrants will expire on the 30th calendar day after
the date of such press release.
The Company has granted the Underwriters an
option, on the same terms and conditions as the Offering,
exercisable until the second business day prior to the closing date
of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional 15% of the
Offering (“Underwriters’ Option”). If the Underwriters’ Option is
exercised in full, the aggregate gross proceeds to Falco of the
Offering would be C$11.5 million.
Further, the Company is in discussions with one
of its shareholders regarding a proposed non-brokered private
placement of Units to be carried out with such shareholder for
maximum gross proceeds of C$5 million at an issue price which
will be no less than the issue price of the Units under the
Offering (the “Additional Placement”). The Additional Placement
would be subject to the receipt of all necessary approvals,
including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Offering is
not dependent on the closing of the Additional Placement.
Additionally, the Company has received a
commitment from Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd (“Osisko”) for an advance
of C$10 million on the installments to be made by Osisko under its
silver stream agreement with the Company (the “Stream Advance”).
Osisko has agreed to pay the Stream Advance on closing of the
Offering.
The net proceeds of the Offering and the Stream
Advance will be used for the development of the Horne 5 Project and
for general corporate purposes.
The Offering is anticipated to close on or about
August 18, 2021 (the "Closing Date") and is subject to certain
conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all
necessary approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture
Exchange.
The Offering is being offered by way of private
placement in all provinces of Canada to investors who qualify as
“accredited investors” under Canadian securities legislation or who
are otherwise exempt from prospectus delivery requirements. The
Offering may also be offered in the United States to “qualified
institutional buyers” pursuant to an exemption from registration
under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and in
such other jurisdictions outside of Canada in accordance with
applicable law.
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 the United States or in any other
jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be
unlawful. The securities have not been registered under the U.S.
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold
in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption
from the registration requirements thereunder.
The Units issued to “accredited investors” in
Canada or otherwise on a prospectus exempt basis will be subject to
a hold period of four months plus one day from the date of issuance
of the Units.
