Forsys Metals Corp. (TSX: FSY) (FSE: F2T) (NSX: FSY)
(“Forsys” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce:
- the appointment of Mr. Stefano Roma
as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, effective
immediately, following the resignation of Mr. Richard Parkhouse as
a member of the Board of Directors; and
- its intention to raise up to
C$5,280,000 in gross proceeds by way of a non‐brokered private
placement of up to 10,560,000 units (the “Units”) at a subscription
price of $0.50 per Unit (the “Private Placement”).
Changes to Board of Directors
Mr. Roma is joining the Board of Directors
effective immediately.
Mr. Roma has managed and directed the largest
shareholding in Forsys during the last fifteen years through
various funds and trading entities. Currently, Mr. Roma has
beneficial ownership of 60 million shares (circa 30%) through
indirect ownership of his trading company, which remains the
largest shareholder in Forsys.
Mr. Roma began his career as an auditor with
Arthur Andersen, Italy, after which he worked for a number of
leading Italian stockbrokers. In 1996, he became Head of
Equity Trading, Sales & Research at ABN-AMRO Milan. In
July 1999 he launched Leonardo Capital Fund Ltd, an event driven
equity long short fund and subsequently founded and led Leo Fund
Managers Ltd, a UK FCA regulated asset manager. In 2016 he sold Leo
Fund Managers Ltd and since then has been managing his own family
office and trading companies. Mr. Roma has a degree in economics
from University La Sapienza in Rome where he attained the
distinction known as 110 lode - the highest grade that a
student can earn while enrolled at an Italian university, and
earned a master’s degree in financial markets from SDA Bocconi in
Milan.
’We are pleased to welcome Mr. Roma to our
Board”, said Forsys Chairman Mr. Martin Rowley, “His longstanding
commitment and support of the Company, combined with his valuable
knowledge and experience in all aspects of the capital markets,
will provide additional benefits to the Board and Company as it
continues to advance its Norasa Uranium Project.”
In addition, Mr. Parkhouse has tendered his
resignation as a member of the Board of Directors. The Board of
Directors would like to thank Mr. Parkhouse for his valuable
contribution while an Executive Director of the Company. Mr.
Parkhouse will remain part of the management team at Forsys
responsible for Investor Relations.
Private Placement
The Company intends to raise up to C$5,280,000
in gross proceeds by way of a non‐brokered private placement of up
to 10,560,000 Units at a subscription price of C$0.50 per Unit.
Each Unit will consist of one Class A Common
Share (“Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant
(“Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one
additional Common Share at a price of C$0.75 per Common Share for a
period of 24 months from issuance.
Participation in the Private Placement will be
taken up in its entirety by Forsys management and members of the
Board of Directors. The issuance of Units to insiders pursuant to
the Private Placement constitutes a “related party transaction”
within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection
of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”).
The Company relies on exemptions from the formal valuation and
minority shareholder approval requirements provided under sections
5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that participation
in the Private Placement by insiders will not exceed 25% of the
fair market value of the Company’s market capitalization. The
Company will file a material change report in respect of the
related party transactions in connection with the Private
Placement.
All securities issued as part of the Private
Placement will be subject to a four‐month and one‐day hold period
from the date of issuance.
The proceeds from the private placement will be
used to continue to fund the Norasa Uranium project in Namibia, and
general working capital purposes.
Completion of the Private Placement is subject
to customary approvals and conditions, including approval and
acceptance by the Toronto Stock Exchange.
