Kodiak Copper Announces $6.5 Million Private Placement
April 4, 2023 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Kodiak Copper Corp. (the “ Company” or “Kodiak”)
(TSX-V: KDK, OTCQB: KDKCF, Frankfurt: 5DD1) announces that it has entered into an agreement with
Cormark Securities Inc. as lead underwriter (the “ Underwriter”), in connection with a “bought deal”
private placement pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption, for aggregate gross proceeds to the
Company of approximately $5 million (the “Offering”). The Offering consists of:
(i) 1,500,000 charity flow-through units (the “ Charity FT Units ”) that will be issued as part of a
charity arrangement, each of which Charity FT Unit will consist of one common share of the
Company (a “Common Share”) and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole
warrant, a “ FT Warrant ”), both of which will qualify as “flow -through shares” (within the
meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)), at a price of $1.32 per Charity FT
Unit (“Charity FT Unit Issue Price”) for gross proceeds of $1,980,000; and
(ii) 3,700,000 common share units (the “HD Units”), each of which HD Unit will consist of one non-flow-
through Common Share and one-half of one non-flow-through Common Share purchase warrant (each
whole warrant, a “ Warrant”) at a price of $ 0.81 per HD Unit (the “ HD Unit Issue Price ”) for gross
proceeds of $2,997,000.
Kodiak will also be completing a non-brokered private placement of: (i) up to 833,333 Charity FT Units at
the Charity FT Unit Issue Price, and (ii) up to 418,498 flow-through units (the “FT Units”), each of which
FT Unit will consist of one Common Share and one-half of one FT Warrant, both of which will qualify as “flow-
through shares” (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) at a price of $0.96
per FT Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $ 1,500,000 (the “Concurrent Financing”). Certain
insiders and shareholders of the Company are expected to participate in the Concurrent Financing.
Each FT Warrant and Warrant issuable under the Offering and the Concurrent Financing will entitle the holder
to purchase one non -flow-through Common Share at an exercise price of $ 1.10 for a period of 24 months
following the closing date. Further, in the event that the Company’s Common Share price closes at or above
$1.70 on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “ TSX-V”) for 20 consecutive trading days, the Company may,
within 15 days of the occurrence of such event, deliver a notice to the holders of FT Warrants and the
Warrants accelerating the expiry date of the FT Warrants and the Warrants to the date that is 30 days
following such notice, and any unexercised FT Warrants and Warrants after such period shall automatically
expire.
The net proceeds from the issue of the HD Units will be used for working capital and general corporate
purposes. The Company will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds received by the Company from the
sale of the Charity FT Units and FT Units, pursuant to the provisions in the Income Tax Act (Canada), to
incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” that qualify as “flow -through critical mineral mining
expenditures” as both terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Qualifying Expenditures”)
related to the Company's projects in British Columbia, on or before December 31, 2024, and to renounce
all the Qualifying Expenditures in favour of the subscribers of the Charity FT Units and FT Units effective
December 31, 2023. If the Qualifying Expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency, the
Company will indemnify each Charity FT Unit and FT Unit subscriber for any additional taxes payable by
such subscriber as a result of the Company’s failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures as agreed.
The Offering and the Concurrent Financing are expected to close on or about April 14, 2023, or such other
date as the Company and the Underwriter may agree and is subject to certain conditions including, but not
limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals including the acceptance of the
TSX-V.
Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with National Instrument
45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (“ NI 45-106”), the Charity FT Units and HD Units issuable under the
Offering will be offered for sale to purchasers resident in Canada, except Québec and/or other qualifying
jurisdictions, which may include the Underwriter for investment purposes and/or subsequent purchasers
(the “Purchasers ”) pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106 (the
“Listed Issuer Financing Exemption”). Because the Offering is being completed pursuant to the Listed
Issuer Financing Exemption, the securities issued to Canadian resident subscribers in the Offering will not
be subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.
The securities issued to subscribers in the Concurrent Financing will be subject to a hold period of four
months and one day pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.
