Anfield Energy Inc.
(TSX.V: AEC; OTCQB: ANLDF; FRANKFURT:
0AD) (“Anfield” or the “Company”) announces that the
Company has entered into a subscription agreement dated January 14,
2024 with Uranium Energy Corp. (“UEC”) whereby UEC has agreed to
acquire 107,142,857 shares of Anfield (the “Shares”) at a price of
C$0.14 per Share for gross proceeds of C$15 million (the “Equity
Financing”). In addition, Anfield also announces its intent to
pursue a listing of its shares on a senior US stock exchange.
Finally, further to the Company’s press release dated
January 2, 2025, the Company has terminated its proposed
plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) dated October 1, 2024 with
IsoEnergy Ltd. (“IsoEnergy”). To repay IsoEnergy’s Promissory Note
dated October 1, 2024, Anfield has also entered into an indicative
term sheet with Extract Advisors LLC (“Extract”), the Company’s
existing lender, to increase the existing credit facility by an
additional US$8 million (the “Credit Facility”).
Corey Dias, CEO & Director of Anfield,
commented: “The Company has evaluated its options with regard to
moving Anfield towards uranium and vanadium production and, as
confirmed by the Board of Directors, we see compelling value in the
premium-priced C$15 million UEC strategic equity financing. In
addition to this proposed equity financing, Extract has agreed to
increase its credit facility by US$8 million. This results in total
financing of approximately C$26.5 million and provides the Company
with significant runway to pursue, amongst, other things, a listing
on a senior US stock exchange, the continuing engagement of the
State of Utah with regard to the radioactive materials license
upgrade and the Company’s Shootaring mill reactivation plan, the
addition of key personnel to facilitate the advancement of both
mines and mill, the completion of Velvet-Wood’s Plan of Operations,
the updating of Slick Rock’s uranium and vanadium resource estimate
(based on recent drill results) and the potential to apply for mine
permits to reopen certain of the Company’s DOE leases.”
Strategic Equity Financing
The Equity Financing is scheduled to close on or
about January 15, 2025 (the "Closing Date") and is subject to the
approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”).
The Shares to be issued under the Equity
Financing will be subject to a hold period in Canada expiring four
months and one day from the Closing Date.
Upon completion of the Equity Financing, UEC
will own 203,415,775 common shares and 96,272,918 share purchase
warrants of Anfield in aggregate, representing 17.8% of Anfield on
an outstanding basis and 24.2% on a partially diluted basis. UEC
has executed an undertaking with both the Company and the TSXV not
to exercise such number of its warrants held to the extent that,
upon exercise thereof, it would cause UEC to become a control
person (as defined in the policies of the TSXV) as at the date of
the subscription without written approval of the exchange or unless
disinterested Anfield shareholder approval is obtained.
Arrangement with IsoEnergy
Further to the Company’s press release dated
January 2, 2025, the Company continues to believe that the case to
be heard by the British Columbia Court of Appeal on January 27 and
28, 2025 was strong. However, despite numerous efforts on the part
of Anfield, IsoEnergy elected not to extend the Arrangement beyond
its December 31, 2024 outside date (the “Outside Date”). Under the
terms of the Arrangement, either party was able to unilaterally
terminate the Arrangement if it had not closed prior to the Outside
Date. Additionally, IsoEnergy submitted an alternate joint venture
proposal to Anfield on January 8, 2025. This proposal was not
viewed favorably by the Board, and in any event was deemed inferior
to the Arrangement. Therefore, the Board has determined that it is
in the best interest of Anfield’s shareholders to terminate the
Arrangement and proceed with the financings disclosed herein.
Regarding the ongoing Court actions between UEC
and Anfield, the Company will withdraw its appeal in the British
Columbia Court of Appeal and will seek an appearance in front of
Justice Weatherill in the British Columbia Supreme Court to
withdraw its petition seeking court approval of the Arrangement
with IsoEnergy. With these withdrawals, the Order that Anfield hold
a new shareholder meeting will become moot.
Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement,
Anfield has provided its written notice of termination to
IsoEnergy. Concurrent with such termination, the C$6 million
promissory note with IsoEnergy (the “Promissory Note”) that was
entered into by Anfield in conjunction with the Arrangement is now
due. Anfield intends to provide notice to IsoEnergy that the
Promissory Note and IsoEnergy’s indemnity for up to US$3 million in
principal with respect to certain of Anfield’s property obligations
will be repaid and released immediately upon closing of the Equity
Financing.
Credit Facility Amendment
Under the terms of the indicative Credit
Facility term sheet, Extract shall provide Anfield with an
additional loan of US$8 million under the existing credit agreement
between Anfield and Extract dated September 26, 2023, as amended.
The proceeds from the additional loan shall be used to repay
IsoEnergy’s Promissory Note and indemnity.
The Credit Facility will continue to have a
maturity date of September 26, 2028 (“Maturity Date”). The Credit
Facility will continue to bear a coupon of the secured overnight
financing rate (“SOFR”) plus 5 per cent per annum, payable
semi-annually. Anfield, with written notice, may elect to
capitalize the interest payable on the facility semi-annually, in
arrears, at a rate of SOFR plus 7 per cent.
In connection with the Credit Facility, Anfield
will issue 79,900,000 share purchase warrants to Extract (the
“Facility Warrants”), with each such Facility Warrant entitling the
holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company at an
exercise price of C$0.15 per share for a period ending on the
Maturity Date. For so long as the Credit Facility remains
outstanding, all proceeds from the exercise of the Facility
Warrants by the lender shall be used to repay the principal amount
of the Credit Facility. Extract has agreed, subject to the approval
of the TSXV, not to exercise such number of its warrants held to
the extent that, upon exercise thereof, it would cause Extract or
its affiliates to hold in excess of 20% of the outstanding voting
securities of Anfield.
Closing of the Credit Facility and the issuance
of the Facility Warrants remain subject to the approval of the
TSXV.
Use of Proceeds
Funds will be used to: 1) advance the
reactivation plan for the Shootaring Canyon Mill; 2) advance the
Plan of Operations for the Velvet-Wood mine; 3) potentially seek
out mine permits for certain DOE leases; 4) add key personnel to
facilitate the advancement of both mines and mill; and 5) general
corporate purposes, including the pursuit of a listing on a US
stock exchange.

Cautionary Statement Regarding
Forward-Looking Information
This news release contains “forward-looking
information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities
legislation. “Forward-looking information” includes, but is not
limited to, statements with respect to the activities, events or
developments that the Company expects or anticipates will or may
occur in the future, including the ability of the Company to
complete the Equity Financing and enter into the Credit Facility on
the proposed terms or at all; the anticipated closing date of the
Credit Facility; the Maturity Date, coupon rate and other terms of
the Credit Facility; the anticipated Closing Date; the anticipated
use of proceeds from the Equity Financing and the exercise of the
Facility Warrants; the receipt of regulatory approvals with respect
to the Equity Financing, Credit Facility and issuance of the
Facility Warrants; the impact the Equity Financing and Credit
Facility will have on the Company’s ability to advance its projects
over the near term; the repayment of the Promissory Note; UEC’s
ownership of the Company’s securities upon completion of the Equity
Financing; and the intention to pursue a listing on a senior US
stock exchange.
Generally, but not always, forward-looking
information and statements can be identified by the use of words
such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”,
“estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, or “believes”
or the negative connotation thereof or variations of such words and
phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”,
“could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be
achieved” or the negative connation thereof.
Such forward-looking information and statements
are based on numerous assumptions, including among others, that the
Company will be able to complete the Equity Financing and enter
into the Credit Facility on the terms currently anticipated, or at
all; that the closing date of the Credit Facility and other terms
of the Credit Facility will remain as currently anticipated by
management of the Company; that the Company will use the proceeds
of the Equity Financing and the exercise of the Facility Warrants
as currently anticipated; that the Equity Financing will be
completed on the Closing Date; that the Company will receive
regulatory approval with respect to the Equity Financing, Credit
Facility and issuance of the Facility Warrants; that the Equity
Financing and Credit Facility will provide the Company with
sufficient funding to independently advance its projects over the
near term; that the Company will repay the Promissory Note upon
closing the Equity Financing; that UEC’s ownership of the Company’s
securities upon completing the Equity Financing will be as
currently anticipated; and that the Company will be able to pursue
a listing on a senior US stock exchange. Although the assumptions
made by the Company in providing forward-looking information or
making forward-looking statements are considered reasonable by
management at the time, there can be no assurance that such
assumptions will prove to be accurate.
There can be no assurance that such statements
will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events
could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the Company’s plans or expectations include the
risk that the Company will not be able to complete the Equity
Financing and enter into the Credit Facility on the terms and
timeline as anticipated by management, or at all; that the Company
may not use the proceeds of the Equity Financing and exercise of
the Facility Warrants as currently anticipated; that the
anticipated closing date of the Credit Facility and other terms of
the Credit Facility may change; that the Company may not receive
regulatory approval with respect to the Equity Financing, Credit
Facility and issuance of the Facility Warrants; that the Equity
Financing and Credit Facility, if completed, may not have the
impact on the Company’s operations as currently anticipated by
management; the risk that the Company may not be able to repay the
Promissory Note if the Equity Financing is not completed; the risk
that UEC’s ownership of the Company’s securities upon completion of
the Equity Financing may not be as currently anticipated; the risk
that the Company may not have the resources, or may otherwise be
unable to pursue a listing on a senior US stock exchange; risks
relating to the actual results of the Company’s operational
activities, fluctuating commodity prices, availability of capital
and financing, general economic, market or business conditions,
regulatory changes, timeliness of government or regulatory
approvals and other risks detailed herein and from time to time in
the filings made by the Company with securities regulators.
Although the Company has attempted to identify
important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in the forward-looking information
or implied by forward-looking information, there may be other
factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or
intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking
information and statements will prove to be accurate, as actual
results and future events could differ materially from those
anticipated, estimated or intended. Accordingly, readers should not
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements or
information.
The Company expressly disclaims any intention or
obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise
except as otherwise required by applicable securities legislation.
We seek safe harbor.
