/CNW/ -
Scottie Resources Corp.
(TSXV: SCOT) (OTCQB:
SCTSF) (the "
Company
") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced
brokered private placement financing pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated
February 16,
2023
(the "
Underwriting Agreement
") with Cormark Securities Inc. as sole underwriter (the
"
Underwriter
") in connection with a "bought deal" private placement of: (i) 11,429,000 common
shares of the Company that qualify as "flow-through shares" (within the meaning of subsection
66(15) of the
Income Tax Act
(
Canada
) (the "
FT Shares
") at a price of
$0
.35 per FT Share for
gross proceeds of
$4,000,150
; and (ii) 10,870,000 common shares of the Company (the "
HD
Shares
", and together with the FT Shares, the "
Offered Shares
") at a price of
$0.23
per HD Share
(the "
HD Issue Price
") for gross proceeds of
$2,500,100
, for aggregate gross proceeds to the
Company of
$6,500,250
(collectively, the "
Offering
").
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter received a cash commission representing
6.0% of the gross proceeds raised under the Offering (other than in respect of sales to purchasers
on a "president's list", in which case it was reduced to 3.0%), and were issued 1,142,287 broker
warrants of the Company ("
Broker Warrants
"). Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder to
purchase one common share (a "
Broker Warrant Share
") of the Company at a price of
$0.23
per
Broker Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. The Company also paid
to certain finders a cash commission representing 3.0% of the gross proceeds raised under the
Offering from the sale of HD Shares to purchasers introduced to the Company by the finder.
The net proceeds from the issue of the HD Shares 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 FT Shares, pursuant to the provisions in the
Income Tax Act
(
Canada
), to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through 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 FT Shares
effective
December 31, 2023
. If the Qualifying Expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue
Agency, the Company will indemnify each FT Share subscriber for any additional taxes payable by
such subscriber as a result of the Company's failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures as
agreed.
In compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with National Instrument
45-106 –
Prospectus Exemptions
("
NI 45-106
"), the Offered Shares were offered for sale to
purchasers resident in
Canada
and other qualifying jurisdictions pursuant to the listed issuer financing
exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106 (the "
Listed Issuer Financing Exemption
"). Because the
Offering was completed pursuant to the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption, the Offered Shares
issued to purchasers in the Offering are not subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian
securities laws. There is an offering document related to the Offering that can be accessed under
the Company's profile at
www.sedar.com
and on the Company's website at
www.scottieresources.com
. The Broker Warrants and the Broker Warrant Shares issued and
issuable under the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period and may not be traded until
June
17, 2023
, except as permitted by applicable securities legislation.
The Offering is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
