TORONTO, Oct. 7, 2024 /CNW/ - Global Atomic Corporation ("Global Atomic" or the "Company") (TSX: GLO) (FRANKFURT: G12) today announced that it intends to offer and sell units of the Company (the "Units") in an overnight marketed public offering (the "Offering"). The Offering is expected to be completed pursuant to an underwriting agreement to be entered into between the Company and Red Cloud Securities Inc., as lead underwriter and sole bookrunner on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (the "Underwriters"). The Offering is subject to market conditions, and there can be no assurance as to whether or when the Offering may be completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the Offering.

Each Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one Common Share. Final pricing of the Units, the exercise price and term of the Warrants and the determination of the number of Units to be sold and gross proceeds of the Offering will be determined in the context of the market.

The Company intends to grant the Underwriters an option, exercisable in whole or in part, at the sole discretion of the Underwriters, at any time for a period of 30 days from and including the closing of the Offering, to purchase from the Company up to an additional 15% of the Units sold under the Offering, on the same terms and conditions of the Offering to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes. The over-allotment option may be exercised by the Underwriters to acquire Units, Common Shares and/or Warrants.

The Offering will be made by way of a prospectus supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement") to the short form base shelf prospectus of the Company dated November 21, 2023 (the "Base Shelf Prospectus") in all of the provinces and territories of Canada, except for Québec.

Closing of the Offering is subject to customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, the filing of the Prospectus Supplement, the execution of an underwriting agreement and the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the securities regulatory authorities and the Toronto Stock Exchange.
