Aldebaran Resources Inc. Announces Upsizing of Private Placement to $14.43 Million

05.08.2022  |  GlobeNewswire
VANCOUVER, Aug. 05, 2022 - Aldebaran Resources Inc. (“Aldebaran” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: ALDE, OTCQX: ADBRF), is pleased to announce that its non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”), previously announced on July 20, 2022, has been upsized to 18,500,000 common shares (the “Common Shares”) at a price of $0.78 per Common Share for total gross proceeds of $14,430,000.

On July 20, 2022, the Company announced a strategic investment by a wholly-owned subsidiary of South32 Limited (“South32”) to acquire a 9.9% interest in Aldebaran. Current shareholders of the Company, Route One Investment Company LLC (“Route One”) and Stillwater Canada LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sibanye Stillwater Limited (“Sibanye-Stillwater”) both hold participation rights to avoid dilution.

Route One, Aldebaran’s largest shareholder, has elected to partially exercise its participation right and purchase 4,800,000 Common Shares at a price of $0.78 per Common Share for total proceeds of $3,744,000. Sibanye-Stillwater has elected not to exercise its participation right.

With the upsizing of the Private Placement, South32 has agreed to increase its share purchase to 13,700,000 Common Shares at a price of $0.78 for total proceeds of $10,686,000.

Upon closing the Private Placement, South32 will own approximately 9.9%, Route One will own approximately 44%, and Sibanye-Stillwater will own approximately 17.6% of the Company on a non-diluted basis. The Company will use the proceeds of the Private Placement to fund exploration activities at Altar.

Closing of this financing is expected to occur by mid-August and is subject to various conditions, including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. No finder’s fee is payable in connection with this Private Placement.

Route One is a control person of the Company. Accordingly, the participation of Route One in the Private Placement constitutes a related party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirement under MI 61-101 as the fair market value of Route One’s participation in the Private Placement does not exceed more than 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as set forth in Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101.

The Company will not file a material change report more than twenty-one (21) days before the expected closing date of the Private Placement, as the details of the Private Placement were not finalized until August 5, 2022, and the Company wishes to close the Private Placement as soon as practicable.

The securities referred to in this news release have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent U.S. registration or an applicable exemption from the U.S. registration requirements.
