Condor Energies Inc. (“
Condor” or the
“
Company”) (TSX: CDR) is pleased to announce that
it has entered into an agreement with Research Capital Corporation,
as the lead agent and sole bookrunner, on behalf of a syndicate of
agents, including Auctus Advisors LLP and Canaccord Genuity Corp.
(collectively, the “
Agents”) in connection with a
brokered private placement of common shares of the Company (the
“
Common Shares”) at a price of $1.90 per Common
Share for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $10,000,000 (the
“
Offering”).
The lead investor and largest shareholder of the
Company, EurAsia Resource Value S.E., along with certain insiders
and other significant strategic investors of the Company, are
expected to subscribe into the Offering.
Condor continues to make significant progress in
Uzbekistan, achieving an average current production of 11,066 boe/d
over the past seven days, which represents an approximate 11%
increase relative to 10,010 boe/d in the third quarter of 2024. The
Company is currently operating two workover rigs in Uzbekistan with
plans to add a third workover rig in early 2025. The Company also
intends to commence its infill drilling campaign during the first
half of 2025.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used
for the ongoing workover program as part of Condor’s production
enhancement service activities in Uzbekistan, accelerating a
multi-well horizontal drilling program, purchasing additional
in-field flowline water separation systems and field equipment,
upgrading field facilities, working capital and general corporate
purposes. Condor is continuing and expanding the workover program
initiated in June 2024 comprised of plunger lift installations,
production tubing replacements, perforating previously non-depleted
and bypassed pay zones and other workover activities.
The Company anticipates offering the Common
Shares to qualified investors in (i) all the provinces of Canada,
except Québec, pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption
(the “LIFE”) under Part 5A.2 of National
Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (“NI
45-106”); and (ii) other qualifying jurisdictions,
including but not limited to the United States, under applicable
private placement exemptions. Common Shares sold pursuant to the
LIFE in Canada will not be subject to resale restrictions under
applicable Canadian securities laws, but any Common Shares sold in
jurisdictions outside of Canada may be subject to hold periods and
other resale restrictions. There is an offering document related to
this Offering (the “Offering Document”) that can
be accessed under the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on
the Company's website at www.condorenergies.ca. Prospective
investors should read the Offering Document before making an
investment decision.
The Offering is anticipated to close on or about
December 5, 2024, or such later date as the Agents and the Company
may determine. The closing is subject to certain conditions
including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary
regulatory and other approvals, including the approval of the
Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”).
The Company has agreed to pay to the Agents a
cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering.
In addition, the Company has agreed to issue to the Agents broker
warrants of the Company to acquire in aggregate the number of
Common Shares equal to 3% of the number of Common Shares sold under
the Offering. The Agents may exercise the broker warrants for a
period of 24 months following the Offering at an exercise price of
$2.20. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company has agreed to pay
to the Agents a reduced cash commission equal to 2% of the gross
proceeds of certain president’s list orders.
