VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 3, 2024 / Pegasus Resources Inc. (TSXV:PEGA)(Frankfurt:0QS0)(OTC PINK:SLTFF) (the "Company" or "Pegasus") is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of the non-brokered private placement previously announced July 22, 2024, raising gross proceeds of $647,640.00. A total of 4,047,750 units of the Company (the "Units", and each a "Unit") were issued at a price of $0.16 per Unit (the "Offering"). Pegasus' Director Noah Komavli subscribed for 100,000 Units and CEO Christian Timmins subscribed for 75,000 units.
"We are thrilled to announce the successful closing of the first tranche of our private placement," stated Christian Timmins, CEO of Pegasus. "These funds represent a significant step towards achieving our broader objectives of making impactful uranium discoveries. With the continued support of our investors, we are well-equipped to advance our exploration efforts."
Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one-half of one transferrable common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant" and collectively the "Warrants") of the Company, with each Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.20 expiring 2 years from the Closing Date.
All securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities laws.
Finders' fees of $15,862 in cash and 99,138 finders' warrants were paid to arm's length parties (each a "Finders Warrant"). Each Finders Warrant issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from the date of issuance, according to the applicable security laws of Canada.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for exploration of the Energy Sands Uranium Project and Jupiter Uranium Project, both in Utah, USA, and for general and working capital purposes.
The Offering constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of TSXV Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") because Insiders of the Company, being Noah Komavli and Christian Timmins participated in the Offering and have acquired 175,000 Units for $28,000 in connection with the Offering. The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of the Offering as the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the Insider participation in the Offering is below 25% of the Company's market capitalization (as determined in accordance with MI 61-101).
The Company has received an extension to the Offering announced on July 22, 2024, which has been extended for 30 days until October 5, 2024.
