The Company has granted to the Agent an option (the “Agent’s Option”), exercisable in full or in part up to 48 hours prior to the closing of the Offering, to sell up to an additional 940,000 Charity FT Units at the Offering Price for additional gross proceeds of up to C$601,600.
The gross proceeds of the Offering will be used by the Company to incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” that will qualify as “flow-through mining expenditures” as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Qualifying Expenditures”) related to the Company’s Mann Lake uranium project located in Saskatchewan, Canada on or before December 31, 2022. All Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers effective December 31, 2021.
The Agent will receive a cash commission equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering (inclusive of the Agent’s Option) and that number of compensation options (the “Compensation Options”) as is equal to 7.0% of the aggregate number of Charity FT Units sold under the Offering (inclusive of the Agents’ Option). Each Compensation Option is exercisable to acquire one common share at the Offering Price for a period of 24 months after the closing date of the Offering.
The Offering is expected to close on or about December 7, 2021 and is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals including the Canadian Securities Exchange. The Charity FT Units and any common shares of the Company that are issuable from any Compensation Options will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day in accordance with applicable securities laws.
The securities offered 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 U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, United States persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws.
