Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 30, 2021) - Philippine Metals Inc. (TSXV: PHI) ("PMI" or the "Company") announces that, further to its news releases dated November 29, 2021 and December 10, 2021, the Company has completed the second and final tranche (the "Second Tranche") of its subscription receipt financing (the "PMI Financing") of 2,000,000 Subscription Receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") at $0.50 per Subscription Receipt for total gross proceeds of $1,000,000. Due to increased demand, the Company increased the PMI Financing to $2,590,396.50.
The first tranche of the PMI Financing of 3,180,793 Subscription Receipts for total gross proceeds of $1,590,396.50 closed on December 8, 2021 (see the Company's news release dated December 10, 2021).
The PMI Financing is being conducted pursuant to the Company's previously announced reverse takeover transaction (the "Transaction") with ReVolve Renewable Power Limited ("ReVolve") (see the Company's news release dated June 24, 2021). Each Subscription Receipt, provided the escrow release conditions in the Subscription Receipt Agreement (as defined below) ("Escrow Release Conditions") are satisfied, will automatically convert into one unit (a "Unit"), with each Unit comprising of one post-Consolidation (as defined below) common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant of the Company (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one additional post-Consolidation common share of the Company (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.75 per Warrant Share for a period of eighteen (18) months following the automatic conversion of the Subscription Receipts. Prior to the completion of the Transaction, the Company intends to consolidate its common shares on the basis of four pre-consolidation common shares for one post-consolidation common share of the Company (the "Consolidation").
The gross proceeds of the PMI Financing (the "Escrowed Funds") are being held in escrow pursuant to the terms of a subscription receipt agreement dated December 8, 2021 between PMI and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as subscription receipt agent and as escrow agent for the Escrowed Funds (the "Subscription Receipt Agreement"). Upon satisfaction or waiver of the Escrow Release Conditions, the Escrowed Funds together with any interest earned thereon, will be released to the Resulting Issuer (and the finders in respect of any Finder's Fees, as defined below) in accordance with the terms set out in the Subscription Receipt Agreement. If the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied or waived, or if the proposed Transaction is not completed, the Subscription Receipts will be cancelled without any further action and the Escrowed Funds together with any interest earned thereon will be returned to subscribers on a pro rata basis with any shortfall of funds being paid by PMI.
The Second Tranche was conducted on a non-brokered private placement basis and finder's fees will be paid in association with the Second Tranche of $68,200 (the "Finder's Fees") and an aggregate of 140,000 non-transferable compensation options (the "Compensation Options"), each exercisable by the holder thereof to acquire a Unit at a price of $0.50 per Unit for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of issuance. The Finder's Fees and Compensation Options will be paid by the Company upon the automatic conversion of the Subscription Receipts.
The net proceeds of the PMI Financing will be used to continue the development of existing projects and undertake the acquisition of new projects of the resulting issuer (the "Resulting Issuer"), being the Company, after giving effect to the Transaction, as well as for general working capital of the Resulting Issuer. All securities issued pursuant to the PMI Financing bears or will bear a hold period expiring on the date that is four months and one day following the date of issuance thereof in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
Trading in the shares of PMI is presently halted and will remain halted until the Transaction has been completed.
