Each Unit is comprised of one common share of Fura and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one common share of Fura at an exercise price of $0.17 per common share for a period of 24 months following the closing date of the Offering. If at any time after four months and one day from the closing of the Offering the common shares of Fura trade at $0.30 per common share or higher (on a volume weighted adjusted basis) for a period of 20 consecutive days, Fura will have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to the date that is 30 days after Fura issues a news release announcing that it has elected to exercise this acceleration right.
Fura also announces that its wholly owned subsidiary, Fura de Colombia S.A.S., has closed the transaction to acquire a 100% interest in a Colombian emerald exploration concession (the "Emerald Concession") from Hector Andres Paez Rojas, Hector Obando, Hector Oliver Obando and John Lenoir Obando Sanchez (collectively, the "Vendors") pursuant to an asset purchase agreement signed in February 2015, as amended (the "Purchase Agreement").
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price payable to the Vendors for the Emerald Concession is payable in instalments as follows: US$400,000 which was paid on June 23, 2015 (the "Closing Date"), US$500,000 payable 18 months from the Closing Date and US$500,000 payable 36 months from the Closing Date.
The net proceeds of the Offering were used in part to pay the initial payment under the Purchase Agreement and the remainder will be used to complete work related to the Emerald Concession and for general corporate purposes. Fura paid finder's fees of $4,941.30 and 38,010 finder warrants to certain finders. The finder warrants have the same terms as the Warrants.
