Cipher Resources Inc. Closes C$0.6 Million Private Placement
Cipher Resources Inc. (the “Company”) (TSX-V: CIFR) is pleased to announce that it has closed its non-brokered private placement (the “Financing”) of 6,010,000 units (each, a “Unit”) at a price of $0.10 per Unit for gross proceeds of C$601,000. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (each, a “Share”) and one Share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”). One Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Share of the Company at a price of $0.15 per Share until August 7, 2021.
In connection with completion of the Financing, the Company has paid aggregate cash commissions of $31,680, and issued 316,800 finder warrants, to certain persons who have introduced subscribers to the Company, with each additional finder warrant exercisable to acquire an additional Share on the same terms as the Warrants to subscribers of the Financing.
Pursuant to Canadian securities laws, all securities issued in the Offering will continue to be subject to a hold period expiring December 8, 2018.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Financing for working capital and ongoing project evaluation expenses.
Endeavour Financial AG and Endeavour Financial Limited (Cayman) (together “Endeavour”) exercised their anti-dilution rights and subscribed for 730,000 Units in the Financing so that Endeavour now holds an aggregate of 7,230,000 Shares, representing approximately 12.05% of the Company’s outstanding Shares both before and after the Financing. Subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders, Endeavour is only entitled to exercise, from time to time, such number of the total 7,230,000 Warrants held, that, after the applicable exercise, the number of Shares then owned by Endeavour shall not exceed 19.8% of the then issued and outstanding Shares.
Endeavour, and one director of the Company (the "Purchasing Insiders") purchased a total of 1,010,000 Units in the Financing. Pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), a purchase by the Purchasing Insiders is a "related party transaction". The Company is exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder approval in connection with the Financing in reliance on sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a), respectively, of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities received by such parties nor the proceeds for such securities received by the Company exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization as calculated in accordance with MI 61-101.
