Guerrero Ventures Inc. Announces Final Closing of Fully Subscribed Subscription Receipt Private Placement

21.05.2020  |  CNW
- Total of C$13.3 million raised in private placement
- C$4.3 million raised at final closing


MONTREAL, May 21, 2020 - Guerrero Ventures Inc. (TSXV: GV) ("Guerrero" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has held a third and final closing of its previously-announced private placement of subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") at which it issued 4,733,509 Subscription Receipts at an issue price of C$0.90, representing gross proceeds to Guerrero of approximately C$4.3 million. This fully subscribed private placement is in response to strong interest following the closing of the first and second tranches, which closed on April 2, 2020 and April 24, 2020, respectively. The Company issued a total of 14,777,778 Subscription Receipts in the private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately C$13.3 million.

"This marks the successful achievement of our objective to raise $13.3 million and is an important step in bringing us closer to the launch of Nomad Royalty Company, a new global acquisition-driven precious metals royalty company" said Vincent Metcalfe, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Each Subscription Receipt entitles its holder to receive, without payment of any additional consideration or further action on the part of the holder, one common share of the Company upon satisfaction or waiver of certain escrow release conditions (the "Escrow Release Conditions"), which include the closing of the Transaction (as defined below) and raising C$13.3 million in the private placement.

The private placement was effected through a syndicate of securities dealers composed of Scotiabank and BMO Capital Markets as Joint Bookrunners, and including CIBC Capital Markets, RBC Capital Markets, Canaccord Genuity Corp., Desjardins Capital Markets, Haywood Securities Inc. and National Bank Financial Inc. (collectively, the "Agents").

The gross proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts, less 50% of the Agents' commission and Agents' expenses payable on the closing date of the private placement, are being held in escrow by Computershare Trust Company of Canada in accordance with a subscription receipt agreement dated April 2, 2020 among Guerrero, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, Scotiabank and BMO Capital Markets. The escrowed funds will be released to the Company upon satisfaction or waiver of the Escrow Release Conditions, including completion of the Transaction, on or before August 3, 2020. If the Transaction does not close by August 3, 2020 or is terminated prior thereto, the gross proceeds and pro rata entitlement to interest earned on the escrowed proceeds will be returned to holders of the Subscription Receipts.

At the final closing, Guerrero paid the Agents a cash commission representing 6% of the gross proceeds raised, excluding funds received from an insider of the Company and a strategic investor. Fifty percent of the cash commission has been deposited in escrow and will be released to the Agents upon satisfaction or waiver of the Escrow Release Conditions.

Subject to satisfaction or waiver of the Escrow Release Conditions, the Company will use the net proceeds from the private placement for working capital purposes and to pay a portion of the cash consideration to Yamana Gold Inc. and one of its affiliates in connection with the previously-announced proposed transaction involving the acquisition by Guerrero from funds related to Orion Resource Partners (USA) LP and from Yamana Gold of two portfolios comprising an aggregate of ten royalty, stream and gold loan assets for total consideration of US$268 million and US$65 million, respectively, pursuant to definitive purchase agreements dated February 23, 2020 (the "Transaction")

At the final closing, an officer and director of Guerrero as well as a control person of the Company (collectively, the "Insiders") purchased an aggregate of 453,622 Subscription Receipts for total proceeds of C$408,259.80. The issuance of Subscription Receipts to the Insiders constitutes a related party transaction but is exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions as Guerrero's securities are not listed on any stock exchange identified in Section 5.5(b) thereof and neither the fair market value of the Subscription Receipts issued to the Insiders nor the fair market value of the entire private placement exceeds 25% of Guerrero's market capitalization. Guerrero did not file a material change report with respect to the participation of the Insiders at least 21 days prior to the final closing of the private placement as the Insiders' participation was not determined at that time.

Under applicable securities legislation, the Subscription Receipts issued at the final closing are subject to a four-month hold period, expiring on September 22, 2020.
