Azincourt Energy Announces Fully Subscribed C$7.6 Million Non-Brokered Private Placement

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AZINCOURT ENERGY CORP. (“Azincourt” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: AAZ), is pleased to announce a fully-subscribed non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately C$7.6 million from the sale of the following:

  • units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of C$0.07 per Unit;

  • flow-through units of the Company (the “FT Units”) at a price of C$0.075 per FT Unit; and

  • FT Units to be sold to charitable buyers (the “Charity FT Units”) at a price of C$0.093 per Charity FT Unit.

Red Cloud Securities Inc. is acting as a finder in connection with the Offering and the majority of the financing is being placed with institutional investors.

Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company (each, a “Unit Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”). Each FT Unit and Charity FT Unit will consist of one common share of the Company to be issued as a “flow-through share” within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each, a “FT Share”) and one Warrant. Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company (each, a “Warrant Share”) at a price of C$0.10 for a period of 36 months following the closing date of the Offering.

The gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT Shares will be used for “Canadian Exploration Expenses” (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (the “Qualifying Expenditures”), which will be renounced with an effective date no later than December 31, 2021, to the purchasers of the FT Shares in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the FT Shares. If the Qualifying Expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency, the Company will indemnify each subscriber of FT Shares for any additional taxes payable by such subscriber as a result of the Company’s failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures. It is expected that expenditures will largely be focused on the continued development of the East Preston Uranium Project located in the western Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada.

The net proceeds from the sale of Units will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about September 29, 2021 and is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals including the TSX Venture Exchange. Finder’s fees will be payable in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issuable in connection with the Offering will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The securities offered 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 U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, United States persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States, nor in any other jurisdiction.
