IsoEnergy Ltd. (TSX-V: ISO) (OTCQX: ISENF)
(“
IsoEnergy” or the “
Company”) is
pleased to announce that it has reached agreements for a $15.3
million funding package, consisting of a $5 million non-brokered
private placement of common shares, a concurrent private placement
of $5.3 million in convertible debentures, and a $5 million “bought
deal” private placement of charitable “flow-through” shares.
The Company will be undertaking a C$5 million
non-brokered private placement (the “Private
Placement”), pursuant to which approximately 1,500,000
common shares will be issued at a price of C$3.33 per share (the
“Private Placement Price”) to NexGen Energy Ltd.
(“NexGen”) (TSX: NXE).
The Company has also entered into a binding term
sheet with Queen’s Road Capital Investment Ltd.
(“QRC”) for a US$4 million (approximately C$5.3
million) private placement (the “Debenture
Financing”) of unsecured convertible debentures (the
“Debentures”).
In addition, the Company has entered into an
agreement with PI Financial Corp. on behalf of a syndicate of
underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”),
pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a
“bought deal” private placement basis, 940,000 common shares of the
Company, each to be issued as a charitable "flow-through share"
within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each, a
"FT Share") at a price of C$5.35 per FT Share (the
“FT Price”) for gross proceeds of C$5 million (the
“FT Offering” and, together with the Debenture
Financing and the Private Placement, the
“Offerings”).
Tim Gabruch, President & Chief Executive
Officer of IsoEnergy commented: “We are very pleased that our
majority shareholder, NexGen Energy, and our strategic investor,
Queen’s Road Capital, have agreed to make further investments in
IsoEnergy. NexGen has supported multiple aspects of IsoEnergy’s
growth and development since our 2016 inception, and Warren Gilman
and the Queen’s Road team have been strong partners and highly
supportive of IsoEnergy’s activities in the Athabasca Basin as we
have advanced our exploration properties and progressed the
world-class Hurricane deposit. We welcome NexGen and QRC’s
continued involvement, which demonstrates their ongoing confidence
in our asset base and strategic approach. We are also pleased with
the strong interest from the broader investment community to invest
in IsoEnergy. Following the completion of the Offerings, IsoEnergy
will have over C$17 million in the treasury and will be
fully-funded through its next phase of exploration and
development.”
Terms of the Debentures
The Debentures will carry a 10% coupon (the
“Interest”) over a five-year term and will have
similar provisions as the convertible debenture issued to QRC in
2020. The Debentures will be convertible at QRC’s option into
common shares of the Company at a conversion price of C$4.33, which
is equal to a 30% premium to the Private Placement Price.
The Interest is payable semi-annually with 7.5%
payable in cash and 2.5% payable in common shares of the Company,
subject to TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) approval,
at a price equal to the 20-day volume weighted average market price
of the Company’s common shares on the TSXV prior to the date such
Interest is due.
For additional information regarding the terms
of the Debentures, readers are encouraged to review the Debentures,
which will be available on the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com
following the closing of the Offerings.
General
The Offerings are expected to close on or about
December 6, 2022 (the “Closing Date”) and are
subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions for
transactions of this nature, including the completion of due
diligence by QRC, the execution of definitive documentation and the
receipt of all necessary stock exchange and regulatory approvals.
The securities issued under the Offerings will be subject to a
statutory hold period in Canada expiring four months and one day
from the Closing Date.
The proceeds of the FT Offering 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. The net proceeds of the Debenture
Financing and Private Placement will be used for further
exploration and development of the Company’s Athabasca properties
and for general corporate purposes.
The Company anticipates that insiders of the
Company, in addition to NexGen, will purchase (directly or
indirectly) common shares in connection with the Offerings. The
acquisition of common shares by insiders (including NexGen) is
considered a related party transaction subject to Multilateral
Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in
Special Transactions. The Company intends to rely on exemptions
from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval
requirements provided under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 on the basis that the participation
in the Private Placement by such insiders will not exceed 25% of
the fair market value of the Company’s market capitalization. A
material change report in connection with the Private Placement
will be filed less than 21 days before the closing of the Private
Placement. This shorter period is reasonable and necessary in the
circumstances as the Company wishes to complete the Private
Placement in a timely manner.
In addition to the Offerings, the Underwriters
and the Company may agree to an additional offering of up to $2
million in common shares that are not flow-through shares, at a
price per share equal to the Private Placement Price, with NexGen
having a right to subscribe for an equal number of shares on the
same terms.
The securities to be offered pursuant to the
Offerings have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S.
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities
Act”) or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be
offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or
benefit of, United States persons absent registration or any
applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S.
Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws.
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.

Forward-Looking Information
The information contained herein contains
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United
States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and
“forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable
Canadian securities legislation. “Forward-looking information”
includes, but is not limited to, statements with respect to the
activities, events or developments that the Company expects or
anticipates will or may occur in the future, including, without
limitation, planned exploration activities statements regarding
completion of the Offerings, the anticipated Closing Date and the
use of proceeds from the Offerings. Generally, but not always,
forward-looking information and statements can be identified by the
use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”,
“scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, or
“believes” or the negative connotation thereof or variations of
such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or
results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”,
“occur” or “be achieved” or the negative connotation thereof.
Such forward-looking information and statements
are based on numerous assumptions, including among others, that the
results of planned exploration activities are as anticipated, the
price of uranium, the anticipated cost of planned exploration
activities, that general business and economic conditions will not
change in a material adverse manner, that financing will be
available if and when needed and on reasonable terms, that third
party contractors, equipment and supplies and governmental and
other approvals required to conduct the Company’s planned
exploration activities will be available on reasonable terms and in
a timely manner. Although the assumptions made by the Company in
providing forward-looking information or making forward-looking
statements are considered reasonable by management at the time,
there can be no assurance that such assumptions will prove to be
accurate.
Forward-looking information and statements also
involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other
factors, which may cause actual events or results in future periods
to differ materially from any projections of future events or
results expressed or implied by such forward-looking information or
statements, including, among others: negative operating cash flow
and dependence on third party financing, uncertainty of additional
financing, no known mineral reserves or resources, the limited
operating history of the Company, the influence of a large
shareholder, alternative sources of energy and uranium prices,
aboriginal title and consultation issues, reliance on key
management and other personnel, actual results of exploration
activities being different than anticipated, changes in exploration
programs based upon results, availability of third party
contractors, availability of equipment and supplies, failure of
equipment to operate as anticipated; accidents, effects of weather
and other natural phenomena and other risks associated with the
mineral exploration industry, environmental risks, changes in laws
and regulations, community relations and delays in obtaining
governmental or other approvals.
Although the Company has attempted to identify
important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in the forward-looking information
or implied by forward-looking information, there may be other
factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or
intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking
information and statements will prove to be accurate, as actual
results and future events could differ materially from those
anticipated, estimated or intended. Accordingly, readers should not
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements or information.
The Company undertakes no obligation to update or reissue
forward-looking information as a result of new information or
events except as required by applicable securities laws.
