Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued 6,400,000 Units for gross proceeds of $3,200,000, which reflects an increase to the Offering of 400,000 Units due to significant investor demand. Each Unit is comprised of one common share ("Common Share") of the Company and one-half of one whole common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share for a period of three years from the closing of the Offering at a price of $0.75 per Common Share.
Philip Williams, President and CEO, commented: "It's with great pleasure that we welcome dedicated uranium funds Segra Capital and Sachem Cove, as well as several other strategic and institutional investors from around the globe to the Company. The support we have seen from key players in the uranium space is a tremendous endorsement of our team and our model. The Company is now well-positioned, with over $5.5 million in the cash and investments, to execute on our plan to become a leading consolidator of uranium assets worldwide."
In connection with the Offering, the Company paid certain eligible persons (the "Finders") a cash commission in total of $104,615, equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering delivered by Finders and issued a total of 309,230 non-transferable broker warrants ("Broker Warrants"), equal to 7.0% of the Units delivered by Finders pursuant to the Offering. Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share for a period of three years from the closing of the Offering at a price of $0.50 per Common Share. The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for general working capital purposes.
In connection with the Offering and for their services provided, the Company paid Red Cloud Securities Inc. ("Red Cloud") an advisory fee of $56,000, plus applicable sales taxes and issued Red Cloud 112,000 compensation options which entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.50 per Common Share for a period of thirty-six months.
All securities issued under the Offering are subject to a restricted period of four months from the date of issuance. The Offering is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Offering constituted a related party transaction within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101") as certain insiders of the Company subscribed for an aggregate of 280,000 Units pursuant to the Offering. The Company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the participation in the Offering by insiders does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before the closing of the first tranche of the Offering, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances in order to complete the Offering in an expeditious manner.
