Greenheart Gold Announces Closing of C$36 Million "Bought Deal" Private Placement of Common Shares
18 October 2024 - 5:04AM
Greenheart Gold Inc. (TSXV: GHRT) (the “Company” or “Greenheart
Gold”) is pleased to announce that further to the Company’s news
releases dated September 25, 2024 and September 26, 2024, the
Company has closed on its previously announced brokered private
placement of 72,088,597 common shares of the Company (each, a
“Common Share”) at a price of C$0.50 per Common Share (the
“Offering Price”) for gross proceeds of $36,044,298.50 (the
“Private Placement”). The Private Placement was underwritten by
Canaccord Genuity and Paradigm Capital Inc., as co-lead
underwriters and joint bookrunners, on behalf of a syndicate of
underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”).
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from
the Private Placement to acquire and explore mineral properties in
Guyana and Suriname, as well as for working capital and general
corporate purposes. In connection with the Private Placement, the
Company paid the Underwriters a cash commission equal to 5% of the
gross proceeds from the Private Placement, other than with respect
to certain sales to purchasers on a president’s list.
All securities issued pursuant to the Private
Placement are subject to a statutory four month hold period
expiring February 18, 2025. The securities described herein have
not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “1933 Act”), or any state securities laws and may
not be offered or sold absent registration or compliance with an
applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933
Act and applicable state securities laws. This news release shall
not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to
buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any
jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be
unlawful, including any of the securities in the United States of
America.
Certain insiders of the Company (collectively,
the “Participating Insiders”) purchased an aggregate of 3,000,000
Common Shares at the Offering Price. The participation in the
Private Placement by the Participating Insiders constitutes a
“related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral
Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in
Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is relying on the
exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval
requirements of MI 61-101 contained in subsections 5.5(b) and
subsection 5.5(a) of MI 61-101, as the Common Shares are listed
only on the TSX Venture Exchange and neither the fair market value
of the Common Shares to be issued to the Participating Insiders nor
the consideration to be paid by the Participating Insiders pursuant
to the Private Placement is expected to exceed 25% of the Company’s
market capitalization as determined in accordance with MI
61-101.
