Toronto, Canada, December 30, 2020 – KWG Resources Inc. (CSE: KWG; KWG.A) (FRANKFURT: KW6)(“KWG” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a proposed non-brokered private placement of up to 280,000 flow-through units (each a “Flow-Thorough Unit”) at a price of $1.5001 per Flow-Through Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $420,028 (the “Offering”). Each Flow-Through Unit is comprised of one multiple voting share of the Company (each, a “Multiple Voting Share”) issued on a “flow-through” basis in accordance with the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each a “Flow Through Share”) and one multiple voting share purchase warrant (each a “Warrant”), with each Warrant enabling the holder to acquire one Multiple Voting Share upon payment of $2.00 per share at any time within five (5) years from the date of issuance of the Warrants.
It is anticipated that the Offering will be considered a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) as related parties will subscribe for the entire Offering. As no securities of the Company are listed on any of the prescribed exchanges set out in section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101, the proposed financing is expected to be exempt from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101. As well, since neither the fair market value of the subject matter of the transaction nor the fair market of the consideration for the transaction, insofar as it is expected to involve related parties, is expected to exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization, all as set out in section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101, the proposed financing is expected to be exempt from the minority approval requirements of MI 61-101
All of the securities issued pursuant to this Offering will be subject to a four (4) month hold period mandated by applicable securities laws and will be legended accordingly. Completion of the Offering is subject to receipt of all required regulatory and other approvals.
