Barksdale Announces Upsizing of Private
Placement Financing
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 11, 2024) - Barksdale Resources Corp. (TSXV:
BRO) ("
Barksdale
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce an increase in the previously
announced non-brokered private placement financing of 26,666,667 units (see news release dated June
5, 2024) to 37,500,000 units (the "
Units
") at a price of $0.15 per Unit for gross proceeds to the
Company of $5,625,000 (the "
Offering
") due to significant demand.
The remainder of the terms of the Offering are unchanged. Each Unit will consist of one common share
of Barksdale (a "
Common Share
") and one Common Share purchase warrant (a "
Warrant
"), whereby
each Warrant shall entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.23 for a period of
three years from the date of issuance.
The proceeds of the Offering will be used to finance exploration activities at the Company's properties in
Arizona as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes. Closing is expected to occur on
or about June 25, 2024. All securities issued by Barksdale will be subject to a minimum hold period of
four months and one day from the date of issuance and completion of the Offering is subject to
customary closing conditions, including acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "
Exchange
").
Finder's fees may be applicable to the Offering.
The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "
U.S. Securities Act
"), or any state securities laws, and may
not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of
the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or pursuant to available exemptions
therefrom. This release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy of any
securities in the United States.
Related Party Participation in the Offering
Certain insiders of the Company expect to participate in the Offering. The participation by insiders in the
Offering constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -
Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions
("
MI 61-101
"). The Company is relying
on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101
contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities
purchased by insiders, nor the consideration for the securities paid by such insiders, will exceed 25% of
the Company's market capitalization. The Company expects that closing of the Offering will occur within
21 days of this announcement and that it will not file a material change report in respect of the related
party transaction at least 21 days before the closing. The Company deems this circumstance reasonable
in order to complete the Offering in an expeditious manner. The Offering has been unanimously
approved by the Company's board of directors. Further information regarding the interest in the Offering
of every related party and the effect that the Offering will have on their percentage of securities of the
Company will be provided once finalized.
