Aston Bay Holdings Closes Second Tranche of Non-Brokered Private Placement

02.03.2018  |  FSCwire

Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - Aston Bay Holdings Ltd. (TSX-V: BAY) (“Aston Bay” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has today closed a second tranche of the Company’s non-brokered private placement, previously announced on December 12, 2017 (the “Offering”). Pursuant to this second tranche of the Offering, the Company has issued 9,747,400 non-flow-through units (each a “Unit”) at a price of $0.15 per Unit, and 730,000 flow-through shares (each a “FT Share”) at a price of $0.16 per FT Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,578,910. Including the proceeds from the first tranche, the Company has raised aggregate gross proceeds of $2,214,910 in the Offering.

Units and FT Shares continue to be available as part of the Offering, in which the Company may raise up to an additional $1,785,090. The Company expects to close a third tranche of the Offering in the near future. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half of one warrant (a whole warrant being referred to as a “Warrant”). Each full Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire an additional non-flow-through common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.20 per Warrant for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.

In connection with the closing of the second tranche of the Offering, Aston Bay has paid aggregate cash finder’s fees of $70,761 to five arm’s length finders, representing 6% of the proceeds raised from subscriptions by certain placees introduced by the finders. The Company has issued to the finders share purchase warrants (the “Finder’s Warrants”) entitling the purchase of an aggregate 433,340 common shares, on the same terms as the Warrants.

All shares acquired by the placees under the second tranche of the Offering, and shares which may be acquired upon the exercise of the Warrants and the Finder’s Warrants, are subject to a hold period until July 2, 2018, in accordance with applicable Canadian securities legislation. Completion of the offering is subject to all required regulatory approvals, including final acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”). Conditional acceptance of the Offering was received from Exchange on December 19, 2017.

Proceeds of this Offering will be used for a planned 2018 drill program on the Aston Bay property, for advancing the Storm Copper and Seal Zinc Projects and for general corporate purposes.

An insider of the Company participated in this second tranche of the Offering, having purchased 50,000 Units, constituting a related party transaction pursuant to TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company relied on Section 5.5(a) of MI 61-101 for an exemption from the formal valuation requirement and Section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 for an exemption from the minority shareholder approval requirement of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the transaction insofar as the transaction involved interested parties did not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.
