Eagle Graphite Announces Private Placement and Share Consolidation
Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - Eagle Graphite Inc. (TSXV:EGA – Frankfurt: NJGN) (“Eagle Graphite” or the “Company”) intends to close a non-brokered private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1,200,000 (the “Placement”). The Placement will be comprised of (i) up to 6,666,667 flow-through units (the “FT Units”) at a price of $0.03 per FT Unit (the “FT Placement”), and (ii) up to 40,000,000 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.025 per Unit. Each FT Unit will consist of one flow-through common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant a “Warrant”). Each Unit will consist of one common share and one Warrant. Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one common share of the Company for a period of sixty (60) months at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. Closing of the Placement is expected to occur in tranches, with the first tranche closing by December 29, 2017, and any remaining tranches in early January of 2018.
The Placement is being made subject to the grant of a discretionary waiver of the TSX Venture Exchange's ("TSXV") minimum $0.05 pricing requirement (the "Waiver"). With respect to the Waiver, the Company intends to conduct a share consolidation of its outstanding Common Shares on the basis of a minimum of one (1) post-consolidation Common Share for each nine (9) pre-consolidation Common Shares (the "Consolidation"). The Company will seek shareholder approval for the Consolidation at the earlier of the Company's next annual general meeting and six months from the completion of the Placement, and will give effect to the Consolidation in as expeditious a manner as is possible after receiving requisite shareholder approval. The Company has obtained written confirmation from shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares (post-financing) that they will vote in favour of the Consolidation.
The Company expects to pay finder's fees in cash and warrants on some or all of the gross proceeds of the Placement. The net proceeds from the Placement will be used to fund exploration work and for general and administrative purposes. Closing of the Placement is subject to TSXV approval. The securities issued will be subject to a four month hold period following the closing of the Placement.
The Company anticipates strong investor demand for this Placement. Current stakeholders in the Company who wish to learn more about the Placement are advised to contact the Company as soon as possible.
