NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
November 23, 2020 – Vancouver, BC: Elemental Royalties Corp. (“Elemental” or “the Company”) (TSX-V: ELE, OTCQX: ELEMF), a gold-focused royalty company providing investors with exposure to a growing portfolio of royalties, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a revised letter agreement with Canaccord Genuity, on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed upsize the previously announced private placement. Under the revised terms, the Underwriters have agreed to purchase 10,000,000 subscription receipts (“Subscription Receipts”) at a price of C$1.50 per Subscription Receipt (the “Issue Price”) for aggregate gross proceeds of C$15 million (up from $12 million previously announced), on a bought deal private placement basis (the “Offering”). In addition, the Underwriters shall have the option (the “Underwriters’ Option”), exercisable until the closing of the Offering, to sell up to an additional 1,500,000 Subscription Receipts at the Issue Price for additional gross proceeds to the Company of up to C$2.25 million.
Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to receive one common share (a “Common Share”) of Elemental, without any further action on the part of the holder and without payment of additional consideration, upon satisfaction of the escrow release conditions including the satisfaction of all conditions precedent to completing the gold royalty acquisition announced earlier today with South32 Limited (the “Acquisition”). The aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering, less 50% of the Underwriters commission and certain expenses of the Offering, will be held in escrow pending closing of the Acquisition.
In the event that the Acquisition is not completed within four months of the closing of the Offering, the escrow agent shall return to the holders of the Subscription Receipts an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price paid for the Subscription Receipts held by each holder.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund part of the cash portion of the consideration payable in connection with the Acquisition.
The Subscription Receipt offering is expected to close on or about December 15, 2020 and is subject to customary regulatory and stock exchange approvals, including approval of the TSX-V.
