SEABRIDGE GOLD ANNOUNCES US$100 MILLION IN FINANCINGS INCLUDES US$20 MILLION FROM STRATEGIC INVESTOR
Seabridge Gold Inc. has entered into an agreement with RBC Capital Markets and Cantor Fitzgerald Canada Corp., as co-lead underwriters and joint bookrunners on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters, to purchase, on a bought deal basis, 6.54 million common shares of the company (the offered shares) at the price of $12.25 (U.S.) per offered share (the issue price) for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $80-million (U.S.). The underwriters will have an option to purchase up to an additional 15 per cent of the offered shares issued in the offering at the issue price to cover overallotments, exercisable in whole or in part, at any time until 30 days after the closing of the offering.
Concurrent with the offering, Seabridge has also entered into a subscription agreement with a strategic investor to purchase 1.64 million common shares of the company on substantially the same terms as the offering for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $20-million (U.S.). Seabridge expects to raise aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $100-million (U.S.) (equivalent to approximately $143-million) between both the offering and the private placement.
The financing is expected to close on or about Feb. 19, 2025, and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The net proceeds of the financing will be used by the company to make the payments to B.C. Hydro contracted for completion of the KSM switching station; complete a program to collect all remaining anticipated field data for, and undertake early value engineering to support, a KSM bankable feasibility study; finance other costs associated with ongoing activities at the company's 100-per-cent-owned KSM gold-copper project in northeast British Columbia, Canada; and for general corporate purposes.
Seabridge chairman and chief executive officer Rudi Fronk commented: "We have committed to approximately $150-million in work at our KSM project in 2025 to continue moving it forward and to maintain our commitment to our indigenous partners and local communities. The work includes critical path items to position KSM for a future partnership and establish the path of future work."
The offering will be made by way of a prospectus supplement to the company's base shelf prospectus and related U.S. registration statement on Form F-10 (SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) file No. 333-283616). The prospectus supplement has been filed with the securities commissions in each of the provinces of Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and Yukon, and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).
