21 November 2019 - 5:42PM
Further to its press release dated November 7, 2019, Amex
Exploration Inc. (the “
Company”) (TSXV: AMX) is
pleased to announce that in connection with its previously
announced “bought deal” private placement offering (the
“
Offering”), underwritten by PI Financial Corp.
and Generic Capital Corporation, as co-lead underwriters on behalf
of a syndicate of underwriters, which included Canaccord Genuity
Corp. and Laurentian Bank Securities Inc. (collectively, the
“
Underwriters”), the Company has closed on the
previously announced partial exercise by the Underwriters of their
option to increase the size of the Offering (the
“
Underwriter’s Option”), purchasing an additional
545,500 flow-through units (each, a “
FT Unit”) at
a price of $1.80 per FT Unit. The underlying common shares qualify
as “flow-through shares” (within the meaning of subsection 66(15)
of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and section 359.1 of the Taxation
Act (Québec)). Each FT Unit consists of one common share of the
Company issued on a flow-through basis and one-half of one common
share purchase warrant issued on a non-flow-through basis (each
whole common share purchase warrant, a “
Warrant”).
Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one common
share of the Company at a price of $1.50 until May 21, 2021.
The Company initially issued 4,444,500 FT Units
for gross proceeds of $8,000,100 on November 7, 2019. With the
closing of the partial exercise of the Underwriter’s Option, the
Company has raised aggregate gross proceeds of $8,982,000 pursuant
to the Offering.
In connection with the partial exercise of the
Underwriter’s Option, the Underwriters were paid: (i) a cash
commission of 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Underwriter’s
Option; and (ii) that number of non-transferable compensation
options (the “Compensation Options”) as is equal
to 6.0% of the aggregate number of FT Units sold pursuant to the
Underwriter’s Option. Each Compensation Option is exercisable for
one common share of the Company at a price of $1.50 per common
share for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance.
The gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Units
will be used for general exploration expenditures on the Company’s
properties located in Quebec.
The securities issued under the Offering are
subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date
of issuance in accordance with applicable securities laws. The
Offering is subject to final approval of the TSX Venture
Exchange.
The securities have not been and will not be
registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or any state
securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United
States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S.
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption
from such registration is available.
