TORONTO, Oct. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nevada Zinc Corporation (“Nevada Zinc” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: NZN) announces that it has decided, at this time, to terminate the non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”), disclosed in the Company’s news releases dated August 23, 2023 and August 30, 2023, and not to proceed to close a second tranche. The Board’s decision to terminate the Offering is the result of the Company’s current review of several financing options and the need for additional time to assess and pursue the financing structure which is optimal for the Company. Further announcements will be made in due course.
The first tranche of the Offering, disclosed by the Company on August 30, 2023, consisted of the issuance of 1,750,000 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.04 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $70,000. Each Unit consisted of one (1) common share of the Company (“Common Share”) and one (1) Common Share purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.10 for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of issuance. Under applicable securities legislation and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, the securities issued in the private placement are subject to a four-month hold period, expiring on December 31, 2023. Completion of the Offering is subject to the receipt of all regulatory approvals, including final approval of the TSXV.
Directors and officers of the Company subscribed for all of the Units issued in the Offering. The participation of such directors and officers in the Offering constitutes a “related party transaction” for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is relying on the exemption from the requirements to obtain a formal evaluation and minority shareholder approval in connection with the insider participation in reliance on sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities to be issued, nor the fair market value of the consideration for the securities to be issued will exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization as calculated in accordance with MI 61-101.
