Each Unit will be comprised of one (1) KWG.A multiple-voting share and one (1) share purchase warrant enabling its holder to acquire one further KWG.A multiple-voting share from treasury upon payment of $3.00 exercisable at any time on or before the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the Maturity Date or (ii) two (2) business days after completion of a take-over bid or a merger, amalgamation, arrangement or other form of business combination as a result of which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such bid or business combination do not own a majority of votes attaching to the voting securities of the Company or of the resulting issuer or do not have the power to elect a majority of the directors of the Company or of the resulting issuer, as the case may be, after completion of such bid or business combination.
The Corporation paid a finder’s fee of 5% of the aggregate of Debentures sourced by finders payable in Units at deemed price of $3.00 per Unit.
The proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of the Debentures will be used for the costs and fees associated with the Private Placement, for general corporate overhead expenses including paying current debts and liabilities and for payment of exploration and other operating expenses.
All of the securities to be issued pursuant to this tranche of the Private Placement are subject to a four (4) month hold period.
