Warrior Gold Inc. Announces Name Change, Share Consolidation

08.05.2023  |  Newsfile
And Updated Terms of its Private Placement Offering of Subscription Receipts and Proposed Acquisition of the Lucky Strike Property

Toronto, May 8, 2023 - Warrior Gold Inc. (TSXV: WAR) ("Kirkland Lake" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that further to receiving near unanimous support at the special meeting of shareholders held April 17, 2023, the Company is changing its name (the "Name Change") to "Kirkland Lake Discoveries Corp." and is implementing a share consolidation (the "Consolidation") of the issued and outstanding common shares ("Common Shares") of the Company on the basis of one post-Consolidation Common Share for every four pre-Consolidation Common Shares. The Company is also pleased to provide additional details and updated terms with respect to its previously announced proposed acquisition of the Lucky Strike property and the Company's related private placement offering of subscription receipts.


Name Change and the Consolidation

The Name Change and the Consolidation were approved by the Company's shareholders at the special meeting of its shareholders held on April 17, 2023 and are expected to become effective on or about May 10, 2023, subject to final approval from the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"). Following the Name Change and Consolidation, the Company's trading symbol on the TSXV will also change from "WAR" to "KLDC".

The Name Change and Consolidation will not affect the rights of the Company's shareholders, except if the Consolidation would otherwise result in a shareholder holding a fraction of a Common Share. In such cases, no fraction or fractional certificate will be issued and the shareholder will not receive a whole Common Share for each such fraction held. Otherwise, the post-Consolidation Common Shares will have the same attributes as the pre-Consolidation Common Shares.

Letters of transmittal with respect to the Name Change and Consolidation will be mailed out to the Company's registered shareholders after taking effect. All registered shareholders will be required to send their share certificates, along with a properly executed letter of transmittal, to the Company's registrar and transfer agent, Olympia Trust Company, in accordance with the instructions provided in the letter of transmittal. Shareholders who hold their Common Shares through a broker, investment dealer, bank or trust company should contact that nominee or intermediary for assistance in depositing their Common Shares in connection with the Name Change and Consolidation. A copy of the letter of transmittal will be posted on the Company's issuer profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Acquisition of Lucky Strike Property

As previously announced in its news release dated February 22, 2023, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with New Found Gold Corp. (TSXV: NFG) ("NFG") dated February 16, 2023 (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which Warrior Gold has agreed to acquire from NFG all of the properties comprising its Lucky Strike property (the "Lucky Strike Property") located in the Kirkland Lake gold camp in Ontario, Canada (the "Transaction"). On May 8, 2023, the Company and NFG entered into an amendment to the Purchase Agreement to provide that completion of the Transaction is conditional on the completion of the Offering (as defined below) for minimum gross proceeds of $5,000,000 instead of $10,000,000. Completion of the Transaction is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions of closing provided for in the Purchase Agreement and described in the Company's above-mentioned news release. The Company plans to close the Transaction on or around May 12, 2023.

Terms of Private Placement Financing

In connection with the Transaction, the Company has engaged Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the "Agent") as its agent in connection with its proposed private placement offering (the "Offering") of subscription receipts. Pursuant to the Offering, the Company plans to issue: (i) subscription receipts of the Company (each, a "Non-FT Subscription Receipt") at a price of $0.25 per Non-FT Subscription Receipt (the "Non-FT Offering Price"); and (ii) "flow-through" subscription receipts of the Company (each, an "FT Subscription Receipt", and together with the Non-FT Subscription Receipts, the "Subscription Receipts") at a price of $0.275 per FT Subscription Receipt (the "FT Offering Price", and together with the Non-FT Offering Price, the "Offering Price"), for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of a minimum of $5,000,000.

Upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions (as defined below), each Non-FT Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to receive one post-Consolidation unit of the Company (each, a "Non-FT Unit"), subject to adjustments. Each Non-FT Unit will consist of one post-Consolidation Common Share and one post-Consolidation Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (each, a "Non-FT Warrant"). Upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, each FT Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to receive one post-Consolidation unit of the Company (each, a "FT Unit", and together with the Non-FT Units, the "Units")), subject to adjustments. Each FT Unit will consist of one post-Consolidation Common Share (a "FT Unit Share") and one post-Consolidation Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (a "FT Warrant", and together with the Non-FT Warrants, the "Warrants"). Each FT Unit Share and FT Warrant will qualify as a "flow-through share" as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act, R.S.C. 1985 c. 1 (5th Supp.), as amended (the "Tax Act"). Each Warrant will be exercisable by the holder thereof into one post-Consolidation Common Share (each, a "Warrant Share") for a period of two (2) years following the date of the Escrow Release (as defined below) at an exercise price of $0.40 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustments.

The gross proceeds of the Offering less 50% of the Agent's Fee (as defined below) and certain expenses of the Agent (such net amount, the "Escrowed Proceeds") will be placed into escrow and released to the Company, subject the completion or satisfaction of all escrow release conditions, including, among other things, the receipt of all required corporate, shareholder and regulatory approvals in connection with the Transaction, to the satisfaction of the Agent (collectively, the "Escrow Release Conditions") to be set out in a subscription receipt agreement to be entered into one or about the closing date of the Offering between the Company, the Agent and an escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"). Provided that the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied or waived (where permitted) prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the date that is 90 days after closing of the Offering (the "Escrow Release Deadline"), the remaining 50% of the Agent's Fee will be released to the Agent from the Escrowed Proceeds, and the balance of the Escrowed Proceeds (less certain expenses of the Escrow Agent) will be released to the Company and the Subscription Receipts shall be automatically converted into the Units (the "Escrow Release"). However, in the event that the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied by the Escrow Release Deadline, the Escrowed Proceeds of the Offering will be returned to the holders of the Subscription Receipts and the Subscription Receipts will be cancelled.

In connection with the Offering, the Company has granted the Agent an option to sell up to an additional 15% of the Subscription Receipts, to be allocated in the Agent's discretion, in any combination, between the Non-FT Subscription Receipts and FT Subscription Receipts, at their respective Offering Price, exercisable in whole or in part at any time up to the closing date of the Offering.

The Offering is expected to be conducted pursuant to the terms of an agency agreement to be entered into between the Company and the Agent on or around the closing date of the Offering, which is anticipated to be May 12, 2023.
