(TSXV: PA) has closed a non-brokered private placement offering of 7,166,667 Units at a purchase price of $0.30 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,150,000. On February 1, 2018, Palamina announced a $2,000,000 placement but due to demand elected to increase the placement by $150,000 yet remain under 30,000,000 shares outstanding. After giving effect to the financing Palamina has 29,621,381 shares outstanding. Each Unit consists of one common share ("Common Share") and one warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant is exercisable to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.50 until August 26, 2019, provided that if after four months and one day following the closing of the Offering, the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") is equal to or greater than $0.90 for 10 consecutive trading days, then the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by disseminating a press release, and in such case the Warrants will expire on the 45th day after the date on which such press release is disseminated.
Net proceeds of the Offering will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes and to advance Palamina's gold projects in south eastern Peru in the Puno Orogenic Gold Belt. All securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period ending June 27, 2018. The Offering is subject to TSX-V acceptance of regulatory filings.
The purchase of Units pursuant to the Offering by Andrew Thomson, the President, Chief Executive Officer, and a director of the Company, and Hugh Agro, Alistair Waddell, and Darin Wagner, each a director of the Company, (collectively, the "Related Parties") constituted a "related party transaction" as such term is defined by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company was exempt from the MI 61-101 valuation and minority approval requirements for related party transactions in connection with the Offering because the Company was not listed on a stock exchange specified in section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101, and neither the fair market value of the Units purchased by the Related Parties, nor the proceeds to be received by the Company in respect of the Related Parties' participation in the Offering, exceeded $2,500,000.
