Barksdale Announces Financing and
Extension of Financial Instruments
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 6, 2022) - Barksdale Resources Corp.
(TSXV: BRO) (OTCQX: BRKCF) ("
Barksdale
" or the "
Company
") announces that it intends to conduct
a non-brokered private placement financing of 4,166,666 units (the "
Units
") at a price of $0.48 per Unit
for gross proceeds to the Company of $2,000,000 (the "
Offering
").
Each Unit will consist of one
common share of Barksdale (each a "
Common Share
") and one-half of one common share purchase
warrant (each whole warrant, a "
Warrant
").
Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to acquire one Common
Share at a price of $0.72 for a period of three years from the date of issuance.
Crescat Capital LLC
("
Crescat
"), a significant shareholder of the Company, has committed $1,000,000 to the financing.
In
connection with the Offering, Barksdale has agreed to grant Crescat an equity participation right to
maintain its pro-rata ownership in the Company for as long as it owns more than 2% of the outstanding
common shares of Barksdale.
The proceeds of the Offering will be used to finance exploration activities at the Company's properties in
Arizona and Mexico, as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Closing of the
Offering is expected to occur on or about September 14, 2022 and will be subject to increase in the
event Teck Resources Ltd. elects to exercise its equity participation rights in the Offering (see news
release dated June 11, 2019).
All securities issued by Barksdale will be subject to a minimum hold
period of four months and one day and completion of the Offering is subject to customary closing
conditions, including acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange ("Exchange").
Rick Trotman, Barksdale's President and CEO, states, "As we near the end of our permitting endeavors
in Arizona, we are very excited that our key shareholders have made the decision to increase their
exposure to Barksdale.
The next few months should be particularly exciting for the Company, which is
why we've petitioned the Exchange to extend the soon to be expiring warrants until early next year to give
our valued shareholders additional time to benefit from their patience and loyalty."
Extension of Warrants
The Company also proposes to extend by a further four (4) months, the expiry date of a total of
7,597,836 share purchase warrants, issued September 29, 2020 and 690,790 share purchase warrants
issued October 1, 2020 (collectively, the "
2020 Warrants
") in connection with a non-brokered private
placement.
These aggregate 8,288,826 2020 Warrants are exercisable into 8,288,826 common shares
and remain at an exercise price of $0.55 per share.
The application to extend the expiry date on the
2020 Warrants is subject to the Exchange's acceptance, and the Company makes no assurances that
the required acceptance for the extension of the term of the 2020 Warrants will be granted.
Convertible Debenture Extension
The Company has agreed to extend the maturity date of the secured convertible debenture
("
Debentures
") held by Delbrook Capital Advisors Inc. (see new release dated February 2022) by one
year until December 31, 2023 and the conversion price has been increased to $0.55 per share from
$0.45 per share.
The Debentures have a remaining principal amount of $1,500,000 and all other terms
of the Debentures remain unchanged.
Additionally, Delbrook and the Company have agreed to a debt for equity plan whereby $110,000 of
accrued interest will be exchanged for Units at the same terms of the Offering.
In exchange for extending
the Debentures, the Company has agreed to an extension fee of 1,200,000 common share purchase
warrants, exercisable at a price of $0.72 for a period of three years from date of issuance ("
Extension
Warrants
").
The Debenture extension, extension fee, debt for equity plan, and increased conversion
price are all subject to approval of the Exchange.
