CALGARY, AB, Sept. 26, 2024 /CNW/ - Horizon Petroleum Ltd. (NEX: HPL.H)
Further to its press releases of August 8, 2024 and September 18, 2024, ("Horizon" or the "Company") announces that it has received TSX Venture Exchange approval to extend the closing of its non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") to October 31, 2024. The Company has agreed to sell up to $1,000,000 in subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") (the "Subscription Receipt Private Placement") and units ("Units") ("Unit Private Placement"), in a non-brokered private placement basis at a price of CA$0.11 (the "Offering"). The Company has previously disclosed a closing of a first tranche for gross proceeds of $718,324.94 on September 18, 2024. Horizon expects to close a second tranche in the next few weeks.
In connection with the Offering, certain insiders are expected to purchase Units in the Offering. Each of the insiders is a related party of Horizon, and as a result, the Offering will be a related party transaction for purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101").
The Company intends to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of such insider participation, based on a determination that fair market value of the participation in the Offering by insiders will not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of Horizon, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.
In connection with the Offering, Horizon may pay finder's fees of up to 7% cash and up to 7% convertible securities, or a combination of both, as permitted by the policies of the TSX-V. The net proceeds of the Offering are expected to be used for general and administrative expenses and for advancing certain concession fees upon signing the concession agreements for the Bielsko-Biala and Cieszyn concessions located in southwest Poland.
