RENO, Nev., Oct. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NuLegacy Gold (the “Company”) reports that on account of the pending October 7th annual and special general meeting (the “AGM”) to authorize a re-capitalization of the Company’s issued common shares it has terminated the Company’s current 100,000,000-unit non-brokered private placement announced on August 15 and 28, 2024 (the “Offering”). In total, the Company issued 45,200,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $0.01 per Unit for gross proceeds of $452,000, of which 40,000,000 Units were purchased by Crescat Portfolio Management LLC (“Crescat”) together with various directors and officers of the Company, for a total of $400,000.
Each Unit consisted of one common share and one warrant (a “Warrant”) to purchase an additional common share at a “nominal” pre-consolidated exercise price of $0.05 per share. The net proceeds of the Offering have been used/allocated to pay the annual BLM and county filing fees to maintain the Company’s district scale Red Hill property in the Cortez Gold trend of Nevada in good standing and for general and administrative expenses.
At the upcoming AGM, the Company is seeking shareholder approval for the reverse split/consolidation of the Company’s issued common shares on a 25 old shares for one new share basis as announced on August 15, 2024 (the “Consolidation”). If the Consolidation is approved by the shareholders and the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”), the Company intends to apply to the TSXV to have the post-Consolidation Warrant exercise price amended to an exercise price of $0.50 per share (the “Price Amendment”), or effectively $0.02 per share on a pre-Consolidation basis. As a condition for acceptance of the Price Amendment, the TSXV will require that if, for any 10 consecutive trading days during the unexpired term of the Warrants (the “Premium Trading Days”), the closing price of the Company’s post-Consolidation shares as traded on the TSXV exceeds the new exercise price by 25% or more (i.e., C$0.625 or more), then the Warrants shall have a reduced exercise period of 30 days which will begin no more than seven calendar days after the tenth Premium Trading Day.
In conjunction with the Consolidation and subject to acceptance of the TSXV, the Company intends to change its name to “Preservation Gold Corporation” (the “Name Change”).
All securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a four month hold period expiring December 28, 2024. In addition, the Company relied upon the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) thereof for the Units issued to Crescat and various directors and officers of the Company under the Offering on the basis that the fair market value of the consideration for such Units did not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.
The Company intends to re-assess potential financing options following completion of the Consolidation and Name Change.
The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws, and accordingly, may not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities requirements or pursuant to exemptions therefrom. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any securities in any jurisdiction.
