AMEX Announces Closing of C$8 Million Bought Deal Private Placement
08 November 2019 - 5:40AM
Amex Exploration Inc. (the “
Company”) (TSXV: AMX)
is pleased to announce that it has closed the previously announced
brokered private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of
$8,000,100 (the “
Offering”).
Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued, on
a “bought deal” private placement basis, an aggregate of 4,444,500
flow-through units (each, a “FT Unit”), which
underlying common shares qualify as “flow-through shares” (within
the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and
section 359.1 of the Taxation Act (Québec)), at a price of $1.80
per FT Unit. Each FT Unit consists of one common share of the
Company issued on a flow-through basis and one-half of one common
share purchase warrant issued on a non-flow-through basis (each
whole common share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”).
Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one common
share of the Company at a price of $1.50 until May 7, 2021.
The Company is also pleased to announce that the
Underwriters have partially exercised their option to increase the
size of the Offering, by agreeing to purchase an additional 545,500
FT Units for additional gross proceeds of $981,900, which is
expected to close on or about November 19, 2019, or such other date
as the Company and the Underwriters may agree.
PI Financial Corp. and Generic Capital
Corporation acted as co-lead underwriters on behalf of a syndicate
of underwriters which included Canaccord Genuity Corp. and
Laurentian Bank Securities Inc. (collectively, the
“Underwriters”). In connection with the Offering,
the Underwriters received: (i) a cash commission of 6.0% of the
gross proceeds of the Offering, excluding gross proceeds from the
issuance of FT Units on a president’s list agreed upon by the
Company and the Underwriters (the “President’s
List”) for which a commission of 3.0% of such gross
proceeds was paid by the Company to the Underwriters; and (ii) that
number of non-transferable compensation options (the
“Compensation Options”) as is equal to (a) 6.0% of
the aggregate number of FT Units sold under the Offering, excluding
those FT Units sold to subscribers on the President’s List, and (b)
3.0% of the aggregate number of FT Units sold under the Offering to
participants on the President’s List. Each Compensation Option is
exercisable into one common share of the Company at a price of
$1.50 per common share for a period of 18 months from the closing
date of the Offering.
The gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Units
will be used for general exploration expenditures on the Company’s
properties located in Quebec.
The securities issued under the Offering are
subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date
of issuance in accordance with applicable securities laws. The
Offering is subject to final approval of the TSX Venture
Exchange.
The securities 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 state
securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United
States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S.
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption
from such registration is available.
