FMST Foremost Clean Energy Ltd

Foremost Lithium Resource & Technology Ltd. (NASDAQ: FMST) (CSE: FAT) (“Foremost Lithium”, “Foremost” or the “Company”), a North American hard-rock lithium exploration company, is pleased to announce each of a proposed and “best efforts” non-brokered private placement to raise gross proceeds of up to $3,750,000 on a flow-through basis (the “Flow-Through Private Placement”) together with up to $1,500,000 on a non-flow-through basis (the “Private Placement”; and, collectively, with the Flow-Through Private Placement, the “Private Placements”).

The Flow-Through Private Placement will be comprised of flow-through units (each, a “FT Unit”) of the Company, at a proposed subscription price of $5.88 per FT Unit (the “FT Unit Price”); representing a 73% premium to the most recent closing price of the Company’s common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”). Each FT Unit will be comprised of one flow-through common share (each, a “FT Share”) and one non-flow-through common share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”) of the Company, and with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase an additional non-flow-through common share (each, a “Warrant Share”) of the Company, at an exercise price of $4.00 per Warrant Share, for a period of 24 months from the closing of the FT Private Placement. $5.87999 of the FT Unit Price will be allocated to the FT Share contained in the FT Unit, and $0.00001 will be allocated to the Warrant contained in the FT Unit.

The Private Placement will be comprised of units (each, a “PP Unit”) of the Company, at a proposed subscription price of $3.40 per PP Unit. Each PP Unit will be comprised of one common share (each, a “Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (each, a “PP Warrant”) of the Company, and with each PP Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase an additional Share of the Company at an exercise price of $4.00 per Share for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Private Placement.

The gross proceeds from the pending Flow-Through Private Placement will be utilized in connection with the Company’s recently announced drill program respecting its Zoro Property located in the Snow Lake region of Manitoba. The proceeds from the pending Private Placement are expected to be utilized for general corporate and working capital purposes for the Company during the next 12 months.

The gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT Shares will be used for Canadian exploration expenses and will qualify, once renounced to a subscriber that is an individual (other than a trust), as “flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures”, as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), and as “flow-through mining expenditures” as defined in section 11.7(1) of the Income Taxation Act (Manitoba) (collectively, the “Qualifying Expenditures”), which will be incurred on or before December 31, 2025 and renounced to the subscribers with an effective date no later than December 31, 2024 in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the FT Shares. In addition, the Qualifying Expenditures renounced to a subscriber that is an individual (other than a trust) will qualify for the Manitoba mineral exploration tax credit described in s. 11.7(2) of the Income Tax Act (Manitoba), a non-refundable investment tax credit deductible against provincial income taxes payable by such subscriber under the Income Tax Act (Manitoba). If the Qualifying Expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency, the Company will indemnify each FT Unit subscriber for any additional taxes payable by such subscriber as a result of the Company’s failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures as agreed. The proceeds from the Private Placement will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Private Placements are expected to close on or about March 15, 2024 and are subject to certain closing conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the acceptance of the CSE and no objection from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The securities issued under the Private Placements will be subject to a statutory hold period in Canada of four months and a day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The FT Units, FT Shares, Warrants, Warrant Shares, PP Units, Shares, PP Warrants and PP Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) being offered 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 state securities laws. Accordingly, the Securities of the Company may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, “U.S. persons” (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Any Securities offered and sold in the United States shall be issued as “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
