Premier American Uranium Inc. (“PUR”, the
“Company” or “Premier American Uranium”) (TSXV:
PUR) is pleased to announce that it has closed its
previously announced private placement announced on April 11, 2024,
pursuant to which the Company sold 2,353,981 subscription receipts
of PUR (each, a “
Subscription Receipt”) at a price
of C$2.45 per Subscription Receipt (the “
Offering
Price”) for gross proceeds of C$5,767,253 (the
“
Offering”), which includes the exercise of the
Agents’ upsize option. The Offering was conducted by a syndicate of
underwriters, led by Red Cloud Securities Inc., as lead agent and
sole bookrunner, and including PI Financial Corp. (collectively,
the “
Agents”).
Each Subscription Receipt entitles the holder
thereof to automatically receive, upon satisfaction or waiver, as
applicable, of certain escrow release conditions (the
“Escrow Release Conditions”), one unit of PUR (a
“Unit”). Each Unit will be comprised of one common
share of PUR (each, a “Unit Share”) and one-half
of one common share purchase warrant of PUR (each whole warrant, a
“Warrant”). Each whole Warrant will entitle the
holder to purchase one common share of PUR (each, a
“Warrant Share”) at a price of C$3.50 until May 7,
2026.
The Escrow Release Conditions include the
satisfaction of all conditions precedent (other than conditions
precedent that, by their terms, cannot be satisfied until closing)
to the completion of the pending transaction as announced by the
Company in a press release dated March 20, 2024, pursuant to which
the Company has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding
common shares of American Future Fuel Corporation
(“AMPS”) by way of a court-approved plan of
arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia)
(the “Arrangement”). Completion of the Arrangement
is subject to, among other things, receipt of applicable regulatory
approvals, court approvals, as well as the requisite approval of
AMPS shareholders.
The proceeds of the Offering, net of the
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agents, are being held in
escrow and will not be released to PUR until the Escrow Release
Conditions are satisfied or waived, as applicable. If the Escrow
Release Conditions have not been satisfied or waived, as
applicable, on or prior August 30, 2024, the aggregate Offering
Price of the Subscription Receipts (plus any interest earned
thereon) will be returned to the holders (net of any applicable
withholding taxes), and such Subscription Receipts will be
automatically cancelled and be of no further force and effect.
Following the satisfaction or waiver, as applicable, of the Escrow
Release Conditions, the net proceeds of the Offering are expected
to be used to fund the proposed exploration programs for PUR’s
projects as well as for working capital and general corporate
purposes.
The Offering is subject to certain conditions,
including, but not limited to, the receipt of the final approval of
the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities issued pursuant to the
Offering are subject to a hold period of four-month and one day
from the closing date of the Offering.
As consideration for the services provided in
connection with the Offering, the Agents will receive a cash fee in
the amount of $172,000.88 representing 6.0% of the
aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering, other than with respect
to certain “president’s list” purchasers identified by the Company
and in respect of which nil fees are payable (the “Cash
Commission”). The Corporation has also issued 70,204
compensation options of the Corporation (the “Compensation
Options”) to the Agents, representing 6.0% of the number
of Subscription Receipts sold under the Offering other than with
respect to president’s list purchasers in respect of which nil
Compensation Options were issued. Each Compensation Option is
exercisable to acquire one common share of PUR at the Offering
Price until May 7, 2026. The Compensation Options will only be
exercisable and the Cash Commission will only be payable, upon the
satisfaction or waiver, as applicable, of the Escrow Release
Conditions.
None of the securities to be issued pursuant to
the Offering have been or will be registered under the United
States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and such securities may
not be offered or sold within the United States absent U.S.
registration or an applicable exemption from U.S. registration
requirements. This news release does not constitute an offer to
sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.
Related Party Disclosure
Insiders of the Company, Sachem Cove
Opportunities Fund LP (“Sachem Cove”) and
IsoEnergy Ltd. (“IsoEnergy”), participated in the
Offering, acquiring an aggregate of 744,417 Subscription Receipts
on the same terms as other investors for aggregate gross proceeds
to the Company of $1,823,821.65 (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

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 in the Offering had not been
finalized at that time. The Offering has been approved by the board
of directors of the Company with each of Tim Rotolo, a director of
the Company and principal of Sachem Cove, and Marty Tunney, a
director of the Company and officer of IsoEnergy, 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.
