Item 5.1 |
Full Description of Material Change |
The Company announced the commencement of the Offering on November 19, 2024 and pricing on November 21, 2024. Subsequently on November 25, 2024 the Company announced it had closed the Offering of US$150,000,000 aggregate principal amount Notes, which included the exercise in full of the option to purchase an additional US$20,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for the construction of copper-gold mining projects outside of China, for the exploration and development of other projects and for working capital.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes will accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears at a rate of 4.75% per annum and will mature on December 15, 2029, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. The initial conversion rate of the Notes is 216.0761 common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, or an initial conversion price of approximately US$4.63 (equivalent to approximately C$6.48) per Common Share. The initial conversion price of the Notes represents a premium of approximately 30% over the last reported sale price of the Company’s Common Shares on November 20, 2024, which was US$3.56 per share as reported on the NYSE American LLC.
The Notes were offered on a private placement basis and were not offered by way of a prospectus in Canada. The Notes and the distribution of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder and applicable state securities laws. The Notes were offered only to “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. Offers and sales in Canada were made only pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements of applicable Canadian provincial securities laws.
