Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (TSX: USA) (NYSE American:
USAS) (“Americas” or the “Company”) announced today that it has
completed its previously announced “bought deal” private placement
(the “Private Placement”) of subscription receipts (“Subscription
Receipts”). Pursuant to the Private Placement, the Company issued
an aggregate of 125,000,000 Subscription Receipts at an issue price
of C$0.40 per Subscription Receipt, for gross proceeds of C$50
million, which included 12,500,000 Subscription Receipts issued
pursuant to the exercise, in full, of the Underwriters’ option
granted to the Underwriters in connection with the Private
Placement.
The Private Placement was co-led by Cormark Securities Inc.
(“Cormark”) and TD Securities Inc., on behalf of a syndicate of
underwriters including Desjardins Securities Inc., Haywood
Securities Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp., and Eight Capital
(collectively, the “Underwriters”).
The Subscription Receipts were issued pursuant to a subscription
receipt agreement dated October 30, 2024, among the Company,
Cormark and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as subscription
receipt agent. Each Subscription Receipt represents the right of
the holder thereof to receive, without payment of additional
consideration or any further action on the part of the holder, one
common share of the Company upon satisfaction of certain escrow
release conditions, including the satisfaction or waiver of all
conditions precedent to the completion of Company’s previously
announced indirect acquisition of the remaining 40% interest in the
Galena Complex in Idaho, USA (the “Acquisition”) pursuant to a
purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Company,
an affiliate of Eric Sprott (“Sprott”) and Paul Andre Huet, as
seller representative.
Closing of the Acquisition is expected to occur prior to the end
of the year, subject to receipt of the relevant approvals from
Company shareholders and the TSX and NYSE American and the
satisfaction or waiver of other customary conditions to
closing.
The proceeds from the Private Placement, less a portion of the
Underwriters’ fees and expenses of the Underwriters, are being held
in escrow pending the closing of the Acquisition. Following release
of the proceeds from escrow, the Company intends to use the net
proceeds of the Private Placement for growth initiatives at the
Galena Complex, the payment of cash consideration to Sprott in
accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the repayment of certain of
the Company’s existing indebtedness, the payment of transaction
expenses and for working capital and general corporate
purposes.
The Subscription Receipts were offered by way of: (a) private
placement in each of the provinces of Canada pursuant to applicable
prospectus exemptions under applicable Canadian securities laws;
(b) in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of
U.S. persons, by way of private placement pursuant to the

U.S. Securities Act and similar exemptions from applicable
securities laws of any state of the United States; and (c) in
jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States as are agreed
to by Americas and the Underwriters on a private placement or
equivalent basis.
