KELOWNA, Dec. 11, 2020 - Fission Uranium Corp. ("FISSION" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Red Cloud Securities Inc. to act as lead underwriter and sole bookrunner on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (collectively, the "Underwriters") pursuant to which the Underwriters shall purchase for resale 14,634,146 flow-through units of the Company (the "FT Units") at a price of C$0.41 per FT Unit on a "bought deal" basis for gross proceeds of C$6,000,000 (the "Offering"). Each FT Unit shall consist of one common share of the Company to be issued as "flow-through shares" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each, a "FT Share") and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of C$0.50 at any time on or before that date which is 24 months after the closing date of the Offering.
The Company has granted the Underwriters an over-allotment option, exercisable at any time up to 30 days from and including the closing date, to purchase for resale up to 2,195,122 additional FT Units at the offering price to raise additional gross proceeds of up to C$900,000.
Proceeds from the sale of FT Shares will be used to incur "Canadian exploration expenses" as defined in subsection 66.1(6) of the Income Tax Act and "flow through mining expenditures" as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Income Tax Act ("Qualifying Expenditures"). Such proceeds will be renounced to the subscribers with an effective date not later than December 31, 2020, in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of gross proceeds raised from the sale of FT Shares.
The FT Units will be offered pursuant to a base shelf prospectus dated December 7, 2020 and a prospectus supplement to be filed in all provinces of Canada. The Offering is scheduled to close on or about December 21, 2020 and is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals, including the approval of the listing and trading of the FT Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX").
The securities to be offered pursuant to the Offering have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, United States persons absent registration or any applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws.
