VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Anfield Energy Inc. (TSX.V: AEC; OTCQB: ANLDF; FRANKFURT: 0AD) (“Anfield” or the “Company”) announces that the Company has closed the equity portion of its previously announced financing whereby Uranium Energy Corp. (“UEC”) has acquired 107,142,857 shares of Anfield (the “Shares”) at a price of C$0.14 per Share for gross proceeds of C$15 million (the “Equity Financing”).
The Shares issued under the Equity Financing are subject to a hold period in Canada expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance. No finder’s fees were payable in connection with the Equity Financing.
Following completion of the Equity Financing, UEC owns 203,415,775 common shares and 96,272,918 share purchase warrants of Anfield in aggregate, representing 17.8% of Anfield on an outstanding basis and 24.2% on a partially diluted basis. UEC has executed an undertaking with both the Company and the TSXV not to exercise such number of its warrants held to the extent that, upon exercise thereof, it would cause UEC to become a control person (as defined in the policies of the TSXV) as at the date of the subscription without written approval of the TSXV, including any disinterested Anfield shareholder approval as may be required by the TSXV.
