PTX METALS ANNOUNCES NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING
PTX Metals Inc. has arranged a non-brokered private placement of units and flow-through common shares in the capital of the company to raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to $2.25-million.
The non-flow-through component of the private placement will consist of up to six million units at a price of 12.5 cents per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $750,000. Each unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the company and one-half common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will be exercisable at a price of 18 cents for a period of 24 months following the closing of the non-FT offering.
The flow-through component of the private placement will consist of up to 10.7 million FT shares at a price of 14 cents per FT share for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1.5-million. Each FT share will qualify as a flow-through share, as defined in Subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).
The gross proceeds of the FT offering will be used by the company to incur eligible Canadian exploration expenses that will qualify as flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures, as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada), related to the company's mineral projects, including the W2 copper-nickel-gold-platinum-group-element project, on or before Dec. 31, 2025. All qualifying expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers, effective Dec. 31, 2024. The net proceeds from the sale of the non-FT offering will be used by the company to finance exploration and development activities and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The FT offering and non-FT offering may close in multiple tranches, with the first tranche expected to close on or about Dec. 3, 2024. The FT offering and non-FT offering are subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the Canadian Securities Exchange. The common shares and warrants comprising the units, as well as the FT shares, will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day, in accordance with applicable securities laws.
It is anticipated that certain insiders of the company may participate in the private placement. Such participation, if any, will be considered a related party transaction, within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. The company intends to rely on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of any related party participation in the private placement, as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it will involve interested parties, is expected to exceed 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).
The company may pay a cash finder's fee of up to 7 per cent of the gross proceeds of the private placement to certain eligible registrants assisting in the sale of units and/or FT shares.
