Origin Gold Announces Acceleration of Warrant Expiry Dates
TORONTO, Aug. 04, 2020 - Origin Gold Corp. (“Origin Gold” or the “Company”) (TSXV: OIC) announces that today its share price has closed at $0.30, after closing at or above $0.1875 for the previous 9 consecutive trading days. In accordance with the terms of the TSXV Venture Exchange’s (“TSXV”) warrant repricing policies, this has triggered an automatic expiry acceleration clause (the “Clause”) in respect of certain of the Company’s common share purchase warrants.
The terms of the 2,392,000 common share purchase warrants of the Company that are affected by the Clause (collectively, the “Expiring Warrants”) were amended in mid-2019 to reduce the exercise price from $0.25 to $0.15 per share and to extend the expiry date from August 25, 2019 to February 25, 2021 (the “Amended Terms”). For additional information concerning the Amended Terms, please see the Company’s press release dated May 28, 2019, which is available under the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. The TSXV consented to the Amended Terms on May 29, 2019.
As a result of the Clause, the expiry date of the Expiring Warrants has been accelerated to a date that falls 30 days following the date of this news release, or September 3, 2020. Any Expiring Warrants that remain unexercised by 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on such date will expire and be cancelled.
The acceleration of the expiry date of the Expiring Warrants is mandated by the TSXV, is not at the discretion of the Company, and is a TSXV policy consistent with the benefit received by the warrant holders relating to the Amended Terms.
