Not for distribution to United States news wire services or for dissemination in the United States
Vancouver, British Columbia – September 19, 2023 – Rackla Metals Inc. (TSXV: RAK) (“Rackla” or
the “Company”) is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced private placement
financing for aggregate gross proceeds of C$ 2,786,475 (the “Offering”). Under the Offering, the
Company sold 5,769,000 flow-through units of the Company (each, a “ Flow-Through Unit”) and
4,800,000 non-flow-through units of the Company (each, a “Hard Unit”, and together with the Flow-
Through Units, the “Offered Securities”).
Each Flow-Through Unit consists of one common share of the Company (each, a “Common Share”)
that will qualify as a “flow-through share” within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax
Act (Canada) and one Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (each, a “Warrant”). Each
Hard Unit consists of one Common Share and one Warrant. Each Warrant will entitle the holder to
acquire one additional Common Share (each, a “Warrant Share”) at a price of C$0.40 per Warrant
Share at any time on or before September 19, 2025.
3L Capital Inc. and Canaccord Genuity Corp acted as co-lead agents and co-bookrunners (together,
the “Agents”). As consideration for acting as Agents, the Company paid to the Agents a cash fee of
C$122,628.50 (the “ Agents’ Fee ”) equal to 6.0% (or 2.0% for those subscribers listed on the
“president’s list” (the “ President’s List Subscribers ”)) of the gross proceeds received by the
Company from the sale of the Offered Securities. In addition to the Agents’ Fee, the Company also
granted to the Agents 456,140 compensation options (each, a “Compensation Option”), entitling
the Agents to subscribe for that number of Hard Units ( each, a “Compensation Hard Unit”) equal
to 6.0% (or 2.0% in the case of sales to President’s List Subscribers) of the aggregate number of
Offered Securities sold under the Offering, with each Compensation Hard Unit consisting of one
Common Share (each, a “Compensation Share”) and one Warrant. Subject to regulatory approval,
each Compensation Option will be exercisable to acquire one Compensation Hard Unit of the
Company at a price of C$0.25 at any time on or before September 19, 2025. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Agents’ Fee was paid or Compensation Options were issued to the Agents in respect
of a C$230,000 subscription for Offered Securities from one of the President’s List Subscribers.
The gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Flow-Through Units will be used
to incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” (“ CEE”) that qualify as Canadian exploration
expenses and “flow-through mining expenditures” for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the
“Qualifying Expenditures”) on or before December 31, 2024 (or such other period as may be
permissible under applicable tax legislation) and which will be renounced in favour of the purchasers
of Flow-Through Units with an effective date of no later than December 31, 2023 , in the aggregate
amount of not less than the total amount of gross proceeds raised from the issue of Flow-Through
Units.
