VANCOUVER, Nov. 01, 2021 - Osino Resources Corp. (TSXV: OSI) (FSE: RSR1) (OTCQB:OSIIF) ("Osino" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced private placement of 9,545,455 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of C$1.10 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of C$10,500,000.50 (the "Private Placement"). Each Unit is comprised of one (1) common share in the capital of the Company (a "Common Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common shares purchase warrant, a "Warrant") entitling the holder to purchase one (1) additional Common Share of the Company at a price of C$1.35 per share prior to expiry thereof 22 months after the closing date (the "Closing Date") of the Private Placement.
In connection with the Private Placement, commissions on the sale of the Units were paid to eligible finders (the "Finders") in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") and applicable securities laws. In particular, the Company paid an aggregate of C$630,000 in cash commissions and 572,727 common share purchase warrants of the Company (the "Finders' Warrants") to the Finders. Each Finders' Warrant entitles the holder to acquire a Common Share at a price of C$1.10 per share for a period of 22 months after the Closing Date.
The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for exploration and development of the Company's Twin Hills gold project in central Namibia, comprising drilling, assaying, technical studies, surface right acquisition and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Certain directors and other insiders of the Company (the "Insiders") have purchased an aggregate of 199,999 Units pursuant to the Private Placement. Participation of an Insider in the Private placement is considered a "related party transaction" pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101-Protection of Minority Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company was exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder approval in connection with the Insider's participation in the Private Placement pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as the Private Placement constitutes well less than 25% of the market capitalization of the Company. The material change report in connection with the participation of Insiders in the Private Placement is being filed less than 21 days in advance of the closing of the Private Placement, which the Company deemed reasonable in the context of the required chronological course of the Private Placement offering transaction.
