Flying Nickel Announces Intention to Amend Warrant
and Option Terms
Vancouver, British Columbia, February 1, 2023 – Flying Nickel Mining Corp. (“Flying Nickel” or the
“Company”) (TSX-V:FLYN, OTCQB:FLYNF) announces that it proposes to reprice: (i) an aggregate of
5,047,016 outstanding common share purchase warrants of the Company (the “ Warrants”) issued
pursuant to a warrant indenture dated November 29, 2021 between the Company and Computershare
Trust Company of Canada, as warrant agent (the “ Warrant Indenture ”) (the “ Warrant Repricing ”); and
(ii) an aggregate of 3,960,000 incentive stock options of the Company (the “ Options”) (the “ Option
Repricing”).
In connection with the Warrant Repricing, the Company intends to adjust the exercise price of the
Warrants from $1.00 to $0.20 and amend the expiry date of the Warrants to add an acceleration clause
such that in the event the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange
(the “ TSXV”) exceeds $0.25 for any ten consecutive trading days following the Warrant Repricing, the
expiry date of the Warrants shall be accelerated from November 29, 2023 to a date that is 30 days
following the seventh calendar day following the ten consecutive trading day period. All other terms of the
Warrants will remain unchanged. The new exercise price in respect of the Warrants represents a
premium of 2.6% over the closing price of the common shares of the Company on the TSXV on January
31, 2023. No Warrants subject to the Warrant Repricing are held by directors, officers and control
persons of the Company, which represents nil% of the Warrants. The completion of the Warrant Repricing
is subject to, among other things, the approval of the TSXV, and approval of the holders of the Warrants
in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Indenture.
In connection with the Option Repricing, the Company intends to adjust the exercise price of 3,810,000
Options from $0.70 to $0.20 and 150,000 Options from $0.74 to $0.20. The new exercise price in respect
of the Options represents a premium of 2.6% over the closing price of the common shares of the
Company on January 31, 2023. An aggregate of 3,250,000 Options subject to the Option Repricing are
held by insiders of the Company (the “ Insider Options ”). The completion of the Option Repricing is
subject to, among other things, the approval of the TSXV. Additionally, in accordance with the policies of
the TSXV, repricing of the Insider Options is subject to disinterested shareholder approval in accordance
with TSXV Policy 4.4 – Security Based Compensation.
The purpose of the Warrant Repricing and Option Repricing is primarily to encourage the early exercise
of such Warrants and Options.
Related Party Transaction
Certain of the directors, officers and other related parties of the Company hold an aggregate of nil
Warrants subject to the Warrant Repricing and 3,250,000 Options subject to the Option Repricing.
Accordingly, the repricing of Warrants and Options held by related parties of the Company is expected to
constitute a “related party transaction” of the Company under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection
of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101").
It is expected that pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, the Company will be exempt
from obtaining a formal valuation and minority approval of the Company’s shareholders as the fair market
value of repriced Warrants and Options held by related parties of the Company is expected to be below
25% of the Company’s market capitalization as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.
31511035v1
A material change report including details with respect to the related party transaction may be filed less
than 21 days prior to the closing of the Warrant Repricing and Option Repricing as the Company wishes
to complete such transactions in a timely manner.
