MONTREAL, Sept. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Falco Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: FPC) (“Falco” or the “Company”) reports that it continues to be in discussions with one of its shareholders in connection with its previously announced proposed non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”) of up to 12,500,000 units (the “Units”) at a price of C$0.40 per Unit, for gross proceeds of up to C$5 million. The Company expects to be able to complete the Private Placement on or before October 28, 2021, subject to the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the internal approvals required to be obtained by the proposed investor and the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
Each Unit under the Private Placement will consist of one common share of the Company (each a “Common Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each full warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one Common Share until July 31, 2025, at an exercise price of C$0.55.
The expiry date of the Warrants may be accelerated by the Company at any time following February 18, 2022 if the volume-weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is greater than C$0.80 for any 10 consecutive trading days, at which time the Company may accelerate the expiry date by issuing a press release announcing the reduced warrant term whereupon the Warrants will expire on the 30th calendar day after the date of such press release.
The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for the development of the Horne 5 Project and for general corporate purposes.
