TORONTO, Dec. 19,
2022 /CNW Telbec/ - Baselode Energy Corp. (TSXV:
FIND) (OTCQB: BSENF) ("Baselode" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce the closing of its
previously announced "bought deal" private placement (the
"Offering") for gross proceeds of C$3.0 million from the sale of 3,571,429
flow-through units of the Company that were sold to charitable
purchasers (each, a "Charity FT Unit") at a price of
C$0.84 per Charity FT Unit. The
Charity FT Units were sold through a syndicate of underwriters led
by Red Cloud Securities Inc. and PI Financial Corp. and included
Research Capital Corporation (collectively, the
"Underwriters").
Each Charity FT Unit consists of one common share of the Company
to be issued as a "flow-through share" 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 (each, a "Warrant Share") at a price of C$0.80 at any time on or before December 19, 2024.
The Company intends to use the proceeds raised from the Offering
for exploration of the Company's projects in the Athabasca Basin. 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. Such proceeds will be renounced to the subscribers
with an effective date not later than December 31, 2022, in the aggregate amount of not
less than the total amount of gross proceeds raised from the issue
of FT Shares.
As consideration for their services, the Underwriters received
total cash commission of C$180,000
and received 214,285 broker warrants, with each broker warrant
entitling the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at
a price of C$0.52 at any time on or
before December 19, 2024.
The Charity FT Units were sold to purchasers resident in
Canada pursuant to the listed
issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument
45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (the "Listed Issuer
Financing Exemption"). Since the Offering was completed
pursuant to the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption, the securities
issued in the Offering will not be subject to a hold period
pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.
