Vox Royalty Reports Q3 2020 Results and Approval of Normal Course Issuer Bid

17.11.2020  |  CNW

GEORGE TOWN, Nov. 17, 2020 - Vox Royalty Corp. (TSXV: VOX) ("Vox" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its operating and financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020. All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Year-To-Date 2020 Highlights

  • Completed a brokered and non-brokered private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of C$13.75M;
  • Completed a reverse take-over transaction and on May 25, 2020, began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") under the ticker "VOX";
  • Recognized inaugural royalty revenues from the Brauna diamond royalty in Q3;
  • Acquired a critical mass of 23 royalties concurrently with the completion of the reverse take-over transaction;
  • Maintained its industry-leading growth rate through the acquisition of an additional 5 royalties in Q2 and Q3;
  • On November 9th announced that it entered into a royalty and sale purchase agreement to acquire a strategic North American portfolio of up to 8 royalties;
  • Strengthened its low portfolio risk through the increase in operating partners to 42 during the period; and
  • Acquired a proprietary royalty database from Mineral Royalties Online Pty Ltd, which includes over 7,000 global royalties. The acquisition provides VOX with a first-mover advantage to execute non-brokered royalty transactions, and the majority of its 2019 and 2020 royalty transactions have been completed on this basis.

"The third quarter marked another quarter of tremendous growth and development for the Company," noted Kyle Floyd, Chief Executive Officer. "Vox continues to grow in all key areas as a royalty company. Vox's portfolio continues to build, with world-class operating partners and high-quality royalty assets. Vox received its first revenue from royalties during the quarter, and expects a significant ramp-up in revenue over the coming quarters and years. We are also pleased to announce that with a strong balance sheet and growing revenue the Company is well placed to commence a normal course issuer bid program. We believe the Company is significantly undervalued relative to our peers and other market valuation metrics. The Company will purchase shares for cancellation at market prices from time to time over the next twelve months."

Normal Course Issuer Bid

The Company is pleased to announce that the TSXV has approved its notice of intention to make a normal course issuer bid for its ordinary shares ("Shares") as appropriate opportunities arise from time to time. Vox's normal course issuer bid will be made in accordance with the policies of the TSXV. Vox may purchase its Shares during the period from November 19, 2020 to November 18, 2021.

Pursuant to the notice of approval from the TSXV and subject to the market price of its Shares and other considerations, Vox may acquire up to 1,628,289 Shares, representing 5% of the Company's outstanding Shares as at November 5, 2020, for cancellation. There are 32,566,171 Shares outstanding as of November 16, 2020. Any purchases will be made at market prices through the facilities of the TSXV.
