West Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 22, 2024) - Millennial Potash Corp. (TSXV: MLP) (OTCQB: MLPNF) (FSE: X0D) ("MLP", "Millennial" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it is engaging in a private placement (the "Private Placement") of 11,250,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.30 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant exercisable at a price of $0.40 per share for a period of two years from the date of issuance.
Proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to fund the Company's further exploration and development of its Banio Potash Project as well as for general working capital purposes.
Related Parties:
An insider (the "Insider Placee") of the Company is participating in the Private Placement for 10,000,000 Units (the "Insider Units"). The purchase by the Insider Placee constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The issuance of these 10,000,000 Units is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as they are distributions of securities for cash and the fair market value of the Units issued to, and the consideration paid by, the Insider Placee did not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization. For the purposes of exemptions under MI 61-101, the Company is listed only on the Exchange.
Notwithstanding the above, the Company must seek shareholder approval for the Insider Placee's purchase of Units under Exchange Policy 4.1 as described below.
Shareholder Approval of Creation of Control Position:
The closing of the Private Placement will result in the Insider Placee holding more than twenty (20%) percent of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company.
As a result, the Company is required under Exchange Policy 4.1 to obtain shareholder approval of the purchase of the Units by the Insider Placee. It is anticipated that this shareholder approval will be sought by the Company at its next annual general meeting of shareholders on February 7, 2025 (the "AGM").
The Insider Placee is The Quaternary Group Ltd., a Singapore company.
Closing of Private Placement:
The closing of the Private Placement is expected, subject to Exchange approval, to be in two tranches with the second tranche, assuming it is approved by shareholders at the AGM, being for that portion of the Insider Units which would result in the Insider Placee's holdings of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company being above twenty (20%) percent.
Additional Details:
A commission of 7% may be payable on that portion of the Private Placement which is not being subscribed for by the Insider Placee.
The Company has received the subscription funds representing the subscription by the Insider Placee.
The Private Placement is conditional upon the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
