Nighthawk Gold (NHK-V) June 13, '16 is pleased to announce that it proposes to complete a non-brokered private placement consisting of up to 4,444,444 Common Shares at a price of $0.225 per Common Share and up to 16,666,667 common shares, which qualify as a "flow-through shares" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) at a price of $0.30 per FT Share for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $6,000,000.
The gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Shares will be used for exploration on Nighthawk's Indin Lake Gold Property located in the Northwest Territories. The net proceeds from the sale of the Common Shares will be used for general working capital purposes. The Offering remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
Any securities to be issued under the Offering will be subject to a hold period of four months and a day from the closing date of the Offering in accordance with the rules and policies of the TSX Venture Exchange and applicable Canadian securities laws and such other further restrictions as may apply under foreign securities laws.
It is anticipated that insiders of the Company may participate in the Offering for up to 25% of the Offering. By virtue of their participation, the Offering would constitute a "related party transaction" under applicable securities laws. The Offering is expected to close on or about June 23, 2016. The Company expects to release a material change report including details with respect to the related party transaction less than 21 days prior to the closing of the Offering, which the Company deemed reasonable in the circumstances so as to be able to avail itself of potential financing opportunities and complete the Offering in an expeditious manner. As the related party transaction will not exceed specified limits, will constitute a distribution of securities for cash and because the Company is not listed on certain specified exchanges, it is expected that neither a formal valuation nor minority shareholder approval will be required in connection with the Offering.
