NSX Silver Inc. Announces Private Placement of Subscription Receipts
Subscription Receipt Offering
NSX Silver is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. (“Echelon”) and Industrial Alliance Securities Inc. (together with Echelon, the “Agents”) to sell, on a commercially reasonable efforts private placement basis, a minimum of 18,000,000 subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") at a price of C$0.15 per Subscription Receipt (the "Issue Price"), for minimum aggregate gross proceeds of approximately C$2.7 million. The Offering is expected to close on or before December 14, 2017, or such other date as the Company and the Agents may agree (the “Closing Date”).
Upon the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions (as defined below) on or prior to three months following the Closing Date (the "Escrow Deadline"), each Subscription Receipt shall be automatically converted without any further action by the holder, and for no additional consideration into one unit of the Company (a “Unit”). Each Unit shall consist of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each full warrant (a “Warrant”) shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance thereof at a price of $0.25 per common share.
100% of the proceeds of the Offering (the “Escrowed Funds”), shall be deposited in escrow on the Closing Date. The Escrowed Funds (less amounts payable by the Company to the Agents) shall be released from escrow by the Escrow Agent to the Company upon the completion or irrevocable waiver or satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the Transaction as outlined in the LOI and the TSXV Listing (together, the “Escrow Release Conditions”).
In the event that the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied or incapable of being satisfied on or before the date which is three months following the Closing Date, the proceeds under the Offering, with accrued interest earned thereon (less any applicable withholding taxes), will be returned to the subscribers and the Subscription Receipts will be cancelled.
The Company has agreed to: (i) pay the Agents a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Offering (the “Agents’ Fee”), and (ii) issue to the Agents such number of share purchase warrants (each, an “Agents’ Warrant”) as is equal to 7% of the number of Subscription Receipts sold under the Offering, with each Agents’ Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one post-Transaction common share at the Issue Price until the date that is 24 months from the Closing Date.
Use of Proceeds
The Company will use the net proceeds of the Offering to acquire all of the real property located at 41 Noel Avenue, Saint John, New Brunswick ( “41 Noel Avenue”), to post a securable deposit to reduce the mortgage level of 41 Noel Avenue and general corporate and working capital purposes. The Subscription Receipts are being issued in connection with the proposed acquisition by the Company of 100% of the real property located at 41 Noel Avenue pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement of Purchase and Sale between the Company and Village View Limited Partnership No. 1 dated 17 August 2017 (the “SPA”).
Acquisition Transaction
As previously announced NSX Silver entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire 41 Noel Avenue for an aggregate purchase price of $4,900,000 subject to adjustments at closing. NSX Silver subsequently entered into the SPA with the vendor with the closing thereof being conditional upon the satisfaction of a number of conditions (“Conditions”). NSX Silver will assume collateral mortgages currently held by Village View Limited Partnership No.1 in the aggregate amount of approximately $3.3 million, with the balance of the purchase price payable in cash from the proceeds of the Subscription Receipts financing that NSX Silver expects to complete concurrent with the closing of this transaction (the “Transaction”).
Change of Business
Completion of the Transaction as contemplated would constitute a change of business in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV” or the “Exchange”) Policy 5.2., Changes of Business and Reverse Take-overs, as the Company’s current business is exploration for minerals.

The company will reserve an appropriate trading symbol to correspond with the name change. Both the change of name and trading symbol are subject to approval by the Exchange.
