ATEX Announces Upsize of Previously Announced Private Placement Financing to up to $10.8 Million

03.08.2022  |  Newsfile

Toronto, August 3, 2022 - ATEX Resources Inc. (TSXV: ATX) ("ATEX" or the "Company") announces that in connection with its previously announced best-efforts private placement of units, the Company and a syndicate of agents (the "Agents") co-led by Desjardins Capital Markets ("Desjardins") and Paradigm Capital Inc., and including Cormark Securities Inc. and Canaccord Genuity Corp., with Desjardins acting as sole bookrunner, have agreed to increase the size of its previously announced offering from up to approximately $9,000,000 to up to approximately $10,800,000.

Pursuant to the amended terms, the Agents will offer for sale, on a best efforts basis, 17,400,000 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of C$0.62 per Unit (the "Offering Price") for aggregate gross proceeds to ATEX of up to approximately $10,800,000 (the "Offering"). Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one Common Share (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $1.00 per Warrant Share for a period of 36 months from the closing of the Offering.

The Agents will have an option (the "Agents' Option") to offer for sale up to an additional 15% of the number of Units offered for sale pursuant to the Offering at the Offering Price, which Agents' Option is exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time up to 48 hours prior to the closing of the Offering. If the maximum Offering is completed and the Agents' Option is exercised in full, an additional approximately $1,600,000 in gross proceeds will be raised pursuant to the Offering and the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering will be approximately $12,400,000.

ATEX intends to use the proceeds from the Offering to advance the Company's Valeriano Copper- Gold Project and for general corporate purposes.

The securities to be issued under the Offering will be offered by way of private placement in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, pursuant to applicable private placement exemptions under National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions. The Units may also be sold in the United States pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and in such other jurisdictions as may be permitted such that such sales are completed in a manner so as to not require filing of a prospectus, registration statement, offering memorandum or similar document nor give rise to any disclosure obligations or submission to the jurisdiction of such jurisdictions on the part of the Company.

The Offering is scheduled to close in the week August 22, 2022, or such date as agreed upon between the Company and the Agents (the "Closing") and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued in connection with the Offering will have a hold period of four months and one day from Closing.

In connection with the Offering, the Agents will receive an aggregate cash fee of 6.0% of the gross proceeds from the Offering, except that a commission of only 3.0% of the gross proceeds will be paid from the sale of Units to certain purchasers designated by the Company (the "President's List") to a maximum of $4,500,000 of the gross proceeds from the Offering. No finder's fees or commissions will be paid in respect of the Offering other than to the Agents.

In addition, the Company will issue to the Agents such number of compensation warrants (the "Broker Warrants") that is equal to 6.0% of the number of Units sold pursuant to the Offering, provided that the number of Broker Warrants shall be 3.0% of the number of Units sold to subscribers on the President's List. Each Broker Warrant will be exercisable for one Common Share at an exercise price of $1.00 for a period of 12 months following the Closing. No finder's fees or commissions will be paid in respect of the Offering other than to the Agents.

Certain insiders are expected to participate in the Offering. As a result, the Offering will be considered a "related party transaction" pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Offering is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 by the application of Sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 because the shares trade on the TSXV and the fair market value of insiders' participation is anticipated to be below 25% of the Company's market capitalization as calculated for purposes of MI 61-101.

The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws, and accordingly, may not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities requirements or pursuant to exemptions therefrom. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any securities in any jurisdiction where such offer, sale or solicitation is not permitted.
