Forsys Closes Previously Announced Non‐Brokered Private Placement
February 21 2025 - 4:54PM
Forsys Metals Corp. (TSX: FSY) (FSE: F2T) (NSX: FSY)
(“Forsys” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the
completion of its previously announced non-brokered private
placement (the “Private Placement”), for aggregate gross proceeds
of C$5,005,000, pursuant to which the Company issued a total of
10,010,000 Units at a subscription price of C$0.50 per Unit (see
the Company’s January 22, 2025 press release).
Each Unit consists of one Class A Common Share
(“Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (“Warrant”),
with each Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional
Common Share at a price of C$0.75 per Common Share for a period of
24 months from issuance.
The Private Placement remains subject to the
final approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange. All securities issued
as part of the Offering are subject to a four‐month and one‐day
hold period from the date of issuance.
The proceeds from the Private Placement will be
used to continue to fund the advancement of the Norasa Uranium
project in Namibia and general working capital purposes.
Related Party Transaction
Participation in the Private Placement was taken
up in its entirety by Forsys management and members of the Board of
Directors. The issuance of Units to insiders pursuant to the
Private Placement constitutes a “related party transaction” within
the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of
Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”).
The Company relies on exemptions from the formal valuation and
minority shareholder approval requirements provided under sections
5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that participation
in the Private Placement by insiders will not exceed 25% of the
fair market value of the Company’s market capitalization. A
material change report disclosing the related party transaction was
filed on January 22, 2024 in connection with the Private
Placement.
Early Warning Disclosure
Immediately prior to completion of the Private
Placement, Stefano Roma beneficially owns and controls an aggregate
of 60,000,000 Common Shares, representing 29.95% of the issued and
outstanding Common Shares of the Company. Following completion of
the Private Placement, Mr. Roma now beneficially owns and controls
65,687,500 Common Shares and 5,687,500 Warrants, representing
31.23% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company
on a non-diluted basis, and 33.04% of the issued and outstanding
Common Shares of the Company on a partially diluted basis, assuming
the full exercise of the Warrants by Mr. Roma only.
This press release and Mr. Roma’s corresponding
early warning report (the "Early Warning Report") which is expected
to be filed on SEDAR+ in the near term, constitutes the required
disclosure pursuant to section 5.2 of National Instrument 62-104 -
Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids ("NI 62- 104"). The requirement to
file an early warning report was triggered because the acquisition
by Mr. Roma of the Units in the Private Placement resulted in Mr.
Roma’s ownership of the Common Shares increasing by greater than 2%
as compared to the early warning report last filed by Mr. Roma. The
securities acquired under the Private Placement are being acquired
by Mr. Roma for investment purposes. Mr. Roma may in the future,
subject to regulatory constraints, take such actions in respect of
his holdings of securities of the Company as he may deem
appropriate in light of the circumstances then existing, including
the purchase of additional securities of the Company through open
market purchases or privately negotiated transactions or the sale
of all or a portion of his securities of the Company in the open
market or in privately negotiated transactions to one or more
purchasers. In the future, he may discuss with management and/or
the board of directors of the Company any of the transactions
listed in clauses (a) to (k) of item 5 of Form 62-103F1 of National
Instrument 62-103 – The Early Warning System and Related Take-over
Bid and Insider Reporting Issues ("NI 62-103").
The Early Warning Report that will be filed on
SEDAR+ in respect of the Private Placement will satisfy the
requirement of section 5.2 of NI 62-104 to have the Early Warning
Report filed by an acquiror, in this case by Mr. Roma, with the
securities regulatory authorities in each of the jurisdictions in
which the Company is a reporting issuer and which contains the
information required by section 3.1 of NI 62-103, which includes
the information required by Form 62-103F1.
A copy of the Early Warning Report filed by Mr.
Roma in connection with the Private Placement will be available
under the Company's profile on the SEDAR+ website at
www.sedarplus.ca.
