Green Shift Commodities Ltd. (
TSXV:
GCOM), (“
Green Shift” or the
“
Company”) is pleased to announce that it has
closed the first tranche of its previously announced non-brokered
private placement financing of units of the Company (the
“
Units”) at a price of C$0.05 per Unit (the
“
Issue Price”), for gross proceeds of C$1,167,500
(the “
Offering”).
The Company issued an aggregate of 23,350,000
Units pursuant to the Offering, with each Unit consisting of one
common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Common
Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (each, a
“Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to
purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of C$0.075 per share
until June 7, 2027.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used
for general working capital purposes and to advance the Company’s
property interests. The Company paid finder fees to Stephen Avenue
Securities Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Ventum Financial Corp.
in connection with the Offering in the aggregate amount of C$7,350
in cash and 84,000 non-transferable finder warrants. Each finder
warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at an
exercise price of C$0.075 until June 7, 2027.
All securities issued in connection with the
Offering are subject to a statutory hold period expiring October 8,
2024. The Offering, including payment of the finder fees, is
subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the
“TSXV”).
Sale of Berlin Royalty
GCOM is also pleased to announce, further to its
press release dated April 23, 2024, that it has entered into a
definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) dated June
7, 2024 with a third-party (“AcquireCo”) pursuant
to which AcquireCo has agreed to acquire (the
“Transaction”) all of the outstanding shares of
1000871349 Ontario Inc. (“Subco”), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company which owns, among other things, a 1% NSR
royalty covering all production from the Berlin Project (the
“Royalty”). AcquireCo is an arm’s length,
privately-held royalty company designed to gain exposure to rising
uranium prices by making strategic royalty acquisitions to grow its
portfolio.
Pursuant to the Agreement, AcquireCo has agreed
to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Subco in
exchange for 12,000,000 common shares of AcquireCo
(“AcquireCo Shares”) at a deemed issue price of
C$0.25 per AcquireCo Share, representing total deemed consideration
of C$3,000,000. GCOM shall also have the right to appoint one
member of the Board of Directors of AcquireCo and shall be granted
rights to participate in any equity financing of AcquireCo in order
to maintain its pro rata ownership interest.
Closing of the Transaction is conditional upon,
among other things, receipt of any regulatory approvals in
connection with the Transaction and no material adverse change
having occurred affecting either the Royalty or AcquireCo.
Trumbull Fisher, CEO and Director of Green Shift
commented, “We are very pleased to enter this
definitive agreement and look forward to closing the Transaction.
This Transaction is expected to add to our many holdings of shares
in other companies and specifically a holding in a royalty company.
We are thrilled to be able to capitalize on this royalty at this
time, while still maintaining exposure though the shares we will
own.”
Insider Participation
Insiders of the Company, including Peter Mullens
and Martin Tunney, Directors of the Company acquired an aggregate
of 600,000 Units on the same terms as other investors for gross
proceeds to the Company of C$30,000 (the “Insider
Participation”). The Insider Participation constitutes a
“related party transaction” pursuant to Multilateral Instrument
61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special
Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is exempt
from the requirement to obtain a formal valuation or minority
shareholder approval in connection with the Insider Participation
under MI 61-101 in reliance on Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI
61-101 due to the fair market value of the Insider Participation
being below 25% of the Company’s market capitalization for purposes
of MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report 21
days prior to the expected closing date of the Offering as the
details of the Insider Participation had not been finalized at that
time. The Offering has been approved by the board of directors of
the Company, with each of Messrs. Mullens and
Tunney having disclosed his interest in the Offering and abstaining
from voting thereon. The Company has not received nor has it
requested a valuation of its securities or the subject matter of
the Insider Participation in the 24 months prior to the date
hereof.
The securities to be issued pursuant to the
Offering have not been, nor will they be, registered under the
United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be
offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or
benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable
exemption from the registration requirements. 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.
