24 Janvier 2023 - 10:46PM
Global Atomic Corporation (“Global Atomic” or the “Company”) (TSX:
GLO, FRANKFURT: G12) today announced that it has filed a
preliminary short form prospectus with the securities commissions
in the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan,
Manitoba and Ontario, in connection with an overnight marketed
public offering (the “Offering”) of units of the Company (the
“Units”). The Offering is expected to be completed pursuant to an
underwriting agreement to be entered into between the Company and
Red Cloud Securities Inc., as lead underwriter and sole bookrunner
on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (the “Underwriters”).
Each Unit will consist of one common share of
the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one half of one Common
Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each
Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one Common Share. Final
pricing of the Units, the exercise price and term of the Warrants
and the determination of the number of Units to be sold and gross
proceeds of the Offering will be determined in the context of the
market.
The Company intends to grant the Underwriters an
option, exercisable in whole or in part, at the sole discretion of
the Underwriters, at any time for a period of 30 days from and
including the closing of the Offering, to purchase from the Company
up to an additional 15% of the Units sold under the Offering, on
the same terms and conditions of the Offering to cover
over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes (the
“Over-Allotment Option”).
The Company intends to use the net proceeds
raised from the Offering to partially fund the development of the
Company’s Dasa Project in the Republic of Niger in order to advance
exploration and development of the Dasa Project and for general
working capital purposes. Please refer to the Company’s press
release dated January 9, 2023 that outlines its plans for the Dasa
Project in 2023.
The Offering is scheduled to close on or around
February 14, 2023, or such other date as the Company and the
Underwriters may agree. Closing of the Offering is subject to
customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, the
execution of an underwriting agreement and the receipt of all
necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the
securities regulatory authorities and the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The preliminary short form prospectus is available on SEDAR at
