Lithium Ionic Announces Closing of Over-Subscribed Premium to Market Private Placement With Strategic Shareholders
June 07 2024 - 6:29AM
Lithium Ionic Corp. (TSXV: LTH; OTCQX: LTHCF; FSE: H3N)
(“
Lithium Ionic” or the
“
Company”) announces the closing, on an
oversubscribed basis, of its previously announced non-brokered
private placement offering (the “
Offering”) led by
long-term strategic shareholders, Fourth Sail Capital and the
PowerOne Capital Group.
Under the Offering, the Company issued
17,769,778 units (the “Units”) at $0.90 per Unit
for gross proceeds of $15,992,800.30.
Each Unit is comprised of one common share in
the capital of the Company (each a “Common Share”)
and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole
warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle
the holder to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of
$1.05 per Common Share until the date that is 18 months from the
date hereof.
The Company plans to use the aggregate net
proceeds of the Offering for exploration and development of its
Brazilian properties and general corporate purposes.
In connection with the closing of the Offering,
the Company paid finder’s fees of $588,721 in cash and issued
613,884 non-transferable finder’s warrants (the “Finder’s
Warrants”). Each Finder’s Warrant will entitle the
holder thereof to purchase one Unit at a price of $0.90 for a
period of 12 months from the date hereof.
The Offering is subject to the receipt of all
necessary approvals, including the final approval of the TSX
Venture Exchange. All of the securities issued by the
Company pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four-month
statutory hold period which expires on October 8, 2024.
An officer of the Company has subscribed for
111,111 Units in the Offering (the “Insider
Investment”). The Insider Investment constitutes a related
party transaction, as such term is defined under the policies of
the TSXV, and the Company has relied on certain exemptions from the
minority approval and formal valuation requirements under
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority
Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI
61-101”) as the fair market value of the aggregate Insider
Investment is below 25% of the Company’s market capitalization for
the purposes of Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101.
The securities being offered have not, nor will
they be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and may not be offered or sold within the United States
or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent U.S.
registration or an applicable exemption from the U.S. registration
requirements. This release does not constitute an offer for sale of
securities in the United States.
