In this tranche, Rise Gold raised a total of C$725,769 through the sale of 10,368,131 units (each a "Unit") at a price of C$0.07 per Unit where each Unit consists of one share of common stock (a "Share") and one-half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional Share at an exercise price of C$0.10 until July 3, 2022.
All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to statutory hold periods in accordance with applicable United States and Canadian securities laws. Rise Gold will use the proceeds from the Financing for the advancement of its Idaho-Maryland Gold Project and for general working capital.
Benjamin W. Mossman, a director and the CEO of Rise Gold, acquired 714,286 Units, which constitutes a "related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The related party transaction is exempt from the formal valuation requirements of Section 5.4 of MI 61-101 pursuant to subsection 5.5(a) of MI 61-101, and exempt from the minority approval requirements of Section 5.6 of MI 61-101 pursuant to subsection 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the transactions do not exceed 25% of the Rise Gold's market capitalization.
