STRAIT ANNOUNCES EARLY EXERCISE OF WARRANTS AT REDUCED PRICE
Strait Minerals Inc. has received approval from the TSX Venture Exchange to reduce the exercise price of three million warrants held by Teck Resources Ltd. to 12 cents from 35 cents per share in consideration for Teck agreeing to exercise the warrants within five business days of receipt of approval from the exchange.
The warrants were issued pursuant to a $600,000 private placement completed by Teck on Dec. 16, 2011, and were originally exercisable until Dec. 31, 2013, at 35 cents per share.
Following completion of the 2011 private placement, Teck held 5.6 per cent of the issued and outstanding capital of Strait. On Aug. 15, 2012, the company closed a private placement with Teck whereby Teck subscribed for a further three million common shares of Strait. Following completion of the 2012 private placement, Teck held 10.56 per cent of the issued and outstanding capital of Strait.
Teck currently holds 10.48 per cent of the issued and outstanding capital of Strait. Upon exercise of the warrants, Teck will hold 14.9 per cent of the issued and outstanding capital of Strait. As a result, the repricing transaction is considered a related-party transaction. The repricing transaction is exempt from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 by virtue of the exemptions contain in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1) (a) of MI 61-101 in that the fair market value of the consideration received by Teck pursuant to the repricing transaction does not exceed 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization.
