Green Shift Commodities Ltd. (
TSXV:
GCOM), (“
Green Shift” or the
“

closed the second and final tranche (the “
Second

placement financing of units of the Company (the
“
Units”) at a price of C$0.05 per Unit (the
“
Issue Price”), for total aggregate gross proceeds
of C$2,096,870 (the “
Offering”).
Under the Second Tranche of the Offering, the
Company issued 18,587,400 Units, with each Unit consisting of one
common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Common
Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (each, a
“Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to
purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of C$0.075 per share
until June 21, 2027.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used
for general working capital purposes and to advance the Company’s
property interests. The Company paid finder fees to Stephen Avenue
Securities Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Ventum Financial Corp.
in connection with the first and second tranche of the Offering in
the total aggregate amount of C$28,350 in cash and 567,000
non-transferable finder warrants. Each finder warrant entitles the
holder to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of C$0.075
for 36 months following the date of issuance.
All securities issued in connection with the
Second Tranche of the Offering are subject to a statutory hold
period expiring October 22, 2024. The Offering, including payment
of the finder fees, is subject to the final approval of the TSX
Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”).
Sale of Argentina Lithium
Assets
The Company is also pleased to announce that it
has entered into a definitive agreement (the
“Agreement”) dated June 21, 2024 with Lion
Critical Elements Corp. (“Lion”), pursuant to
which Lion has agreed to acquire (the
“Transaction”) all of the outstanding shares of
LFP Resources Corp. (“Subco”), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company which owns, among other things, 10,000
hectares of prospective lithium ground in Rio Negro, Chubut, and
Neuquén Provinces in Argentina and 25% of Pampa Litio S.A. Lion is
an arm’s length, privately-held company that has a portfolio of
lithium projects in Southern Zambia and uranium assets in
Niger.
Pursuant to the Agreement, Lion has agreed to
acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Subco in
exchange for 1,460,000 common shares of Lion (“Lion
Shares”) to be issued at a price of US$0.75 per share and
500,000 warrants, each exercisable to acquire one Lion Share at an
exercise price of US$1.00 per share for a period of three years
following closing of the Transaction.
Closing of the Transaction is conditional upon,
among other things, receipt of any regulatory approvals in
connection with the Transaction and no material adverse change
having occurred affecting either Subco or Lion.
Trumbull Fisher, CEO and Director of Green Shift
commented, “We are very pleased to put these assets in the hands of
Lion and have them move the assets forward. We believe strongly in
the ability of the Lion team and the other hard rock lithium and
uranium assets in Lion’s portfolio and we are excited to become a
shareholder of the company. The completion of this Transaction will
also contribute to our expanding portfolio of equity interests in
the uranium and lithium space.”
Insider Participation
Insiders of the Company, including Peter
Mullens, a Director of the Company, and Mega Uranium Ltd., acquired
an aggregate of 5,687,400 Units under the Second Tranche of the
Offering on the same terms as other investors for gross proceeds to
the Company of C$284,370 (the “Insider
Participation”). The Insider Participation constitutes a
“related party transaction” pursuant to Multilateral Instrument
61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special
Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is exempt
from the requirement to obtain a formal valuation or minority
shareholder approval in connection with the Insider Participation
under MI 61-101 in reliance on Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI
61-101 due to the fair market value of the Insider Participation
being below 25% of the Company’s market capitalization for purposes
of MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report 21
days prior to the expected closing date of the Second Tranche as
the details of the Insider Participation had not been finalized at
that time. The Offering has been approved by the board of directors
of the Company, with Mr. Mullens having disclosed his interest in
the Offering and abstaining from voting thereon. The Company has
not received nor has it requested a valuation of its securities or
the subject matter of the Insider Participation in the 24 months
prior to the date hereof.
The securities to be issued pursuant to the
Offering have not been, nor will they be, registered under the
United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be
offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or
benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable
exemption from the registration requirements. This news release
shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an
offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any
jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be
unlawful.
