Short Form Offering Document Financing
Boreal proposes to enter into an agency agreement (the "Agency Agreement") with PI Financial Corp. (the "Agent") that will provide for a financing to be completed on a best efforts basis by way of Short Form Offering Document in accordance with Exchange policies (the "SFOD Offering"). The SFOD Offering will consist of up to 6,666,666 units of Boreal (each, an "SFOD Unit") at a price of $0.30 per SFOD Unit for gross proceeds of up to approximately $2,000,000.
Each SFOD Unit will consist of one Common Share and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder to purchase a Common Share at a price of $0.50 per Common Share for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the SFOD Offering.
The filing of the Short Form Offering Document with the Exchange will occur after the issuance of this news release.
Brokered Private Placement
The Company is also pleased to announce its intention to complete a brokered private placement of up to 3,333,334 units of Boreal ("Brokered Units") at a price of $0.30 per Brokered Unit, on a best efforts basis for gross proceeds of up to approximately $1,000,000 (the "Private Placement"), concurrently with the SFOD Offering.
Each Brokered Unit will consist of one Common Share and one Warrant, with such Warrants having the same terms as the Warrants issuable under the SFOD Offering.
The Agency Agreement will provide that the Agent will receive a cash commission equal to 8% of the gross proceeds raised from the sale of SFOD Units and Brokered Units, and such number of non-transferable warrants ("Agent's Warrants") equal to 8% of the aggregate number of SFOD Units and Brokered Units sold. Each Agent's Warrant will be exercisable for one Common Share at a price of $0.30 per Common Share for a period of 18 months from the closing date of the financings. The Agent will also receive 600,000 units as a corporate finance fee ("Corporate Finance Units"), with 400,000 of such Corporate Finance Units having the same terms as the SFOD Units and 200,000 of such Corporate Finance Units having the same terms as the Brokered Units.
