Corporate Announcement
CORPORATE ANNOUNCEMENT
Toronto Ontario, October 31, 2022 – Grid Metals Corp. (the"Company")(TSXV:GRDM OTCQB:MSMGF)
today issued a clarification regarding the announcement of its recent financing. The Company
inadvertantly omitted language relating to Insider participation in its September 22, 2022 financing
from its prior press release dated September 26, 2022 which announced the closing of its fully
subscribed $8.52 million private placement (the “Offering”).
Two entities participated in the Offering by acquiring an aggregate of 10,000,000 common shares. Each
of the two entities is under the control and direction of Waratah Capital Partners Ltd. (“Waratah”), as
investment manager, and accordingly Waratah is a related party of the Company by virtue of having
direction and control of more than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. The
participation by the two Waratah entities constituted a related party transaction pursuant to the
policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of
Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company relied on the exemptions
from the valuation and minority approval requirements set forth in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI
61-101 as the fair market value of the transaction did not exceed 25% of the Company's market
capitalization. A material change report with respect to the closing of the Offering was filed less than 21
days prior to the closing date of the Offering as participation by related parties was not settled until
shortly prior to closing and the Company wished to complete the Offering as expeditiously as possible.
