/THIS NEWS RELEASE IS INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION IN CANADA ONLY AND IS NOT AUTHORIZED FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES./
JERSEY, UK, July 18, 2018 /CNW/ - Tethyan Resources Plc (TSXV: TETH) ("Tethyan" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the terms of a non-brokered private placement of up to 6,000,000 units at a price of $0.25 per unit for gross proceeds of up to $1,500,000. Each unit will be comprised of one ordinary share and one-half of one transferable share purchase warrant of the Company. Each whole warrant will be exercisable into one ordinary share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.35 per share for a period of three years from the closing date of the private placement. Dr. Mike Andrews, a Director of the Company, intends to invest up to $200,000 and acquire up to 800,000 units under the private placement.
The net proceeds from the private placement will be used to finance Tethyan's planned advancement of the recently acquired Kizevak zinc-lead-silver project, where Tethyan is currently drilling, as well as other earlier-stage prospects toward the identification of new drill targets and for general working capital.
As Dr. Andrews is a director of the Company, his participation in the private placement will constitute a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The transaction is exempt from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to section 5.5(b) thereof as the Company is not listed on certain specified markets. The transaction is also exempt from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue of section 5.7(1)(b) thereof as the fair market value of the units to be distributed to, or the consideration paid by, Dr. Andrews will not exceed $2,5000,000.
In addition to other prospectus exemptions commonly relied on in private placements, the offering will be available to existing shareholders of the Company, who, as of the close of business on July 17, 2018, held ordinary shares of the Company (and who continue to hold such ordinary shares as of the closing date), pursuant to the prospectus exemption set out in B.C. Instrument 45-534 - Exemption From Prospectus Requirement for Certain Trades to Existing Security Holders and in similar instruments in other jurisdictions in Canada. The existing shareholder exemption limits a shareholder to a maximum investment of $15,000 in a 12-month period unless the shareholder has obtained advice regarding the suitability of the investment, and, if the shareholder is resident in a jurisdiction of Canada, that advice has been obtained from a person who is registered as an investment dealer in the jurisdiction. If the Company receives subscriptions from investors relying on the existing shareholder exemption exceeding the maximum offering, the Company may adjust the subscriptions received on a pro rata basis.
The Company will also make the offering available to certain subscribers pursuant to B.C. Instrument 45-536 - Exemption From Prospectus Requirement for Certain Distributions Through an Investment Dealer. In accordance with the requirements of the investment dealer exemption, the Company confirms that there is no material fact or material change about the Company that has not been generally disclosed.
