Silver Crown to Amend Expiry Date of Warrants
TORONTO, ON – TheNewswire - September 18, 2024 – Silver Crown Royalties Inc. (Cboe Canada: SCRI) (“Silver Crown” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it intends, effective September 18, 2024, to extend the expiry date of an aggregate of 383,124 outstanding common share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) such that the Warrants will now have an expiry date of June 16, 2025 (the “Warrant Amendment”). All other terms of the Warrants will remain unchanged.
Having given effect to a 20:1 consolidation of all the Company’s securities, the Warrants were issued as follows:
-
376,874 of the Warrants were issued in tranches during the period from May 5, 2023 to June 15, 2023, pursuant to a private placement of units (the 2023 Financing”), with each such unit consisting of one common share and one half of one Warrant exercisable at $0.40per common share for a period of two years following closing; and
-
6,250 of the Warrants were issued on May 11, 2023,pursuant to a royalty agreement between Elk Gold Mining Corp. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gold Mountain Mining Corp.) and the Company dated May 11, 2023, with each such Warrant exercisable at $0.40per common share for a period of two years following closing.
After giving effect to a consolidation, which became effective on June 28, 2024, of the Company’s common shares on the basis of twenty pre-consolidation shares for one post-consolidation share, the Warrants are currently exercisable at $8.00 per common share. The Company is proposing to undertake the Warrant Amendment in order to provide holders of the Warrants with an extended opportunity to exercise the Warrants and participate in the ownership of the Company and to provide the Company with an extended opportunity to receive the proceeds of any Warrant exercises.
Peter Bures, Chief Executive Officer of Silver Crown, Hassnain Raaza, Chief Financial Officer of Silver Crown, and Peter Simeon, a Director of Silver Crown, beneficially own 6,750, 1,124, and 2,812 Warrants, respectively. As a result, the Warrant Amendment is considered to be a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements found in Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the Warrant Amendment, insofar as it involves Mr. Bures, Mr. Raaza, and Mr. Simeon, is not more than 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The Warrant Amendment was unanimously approved by the directors of the Company (with Mr. Bures and Mr. Simeon abstaining), after the nature and extent of Mr. Bures, Mr. Raaza, and Mr. Simeon’s interest in the Warrant Amendment was disclosed. The Company did not file a material change report at least 21 days before the expected effective date of the Warrant Amendment as the Company was required to complete the Warrant Amendment in an expeditious manner.
