Nuclear Fuels Announces Completion of Bought Deal Offering, Including Full Exercise of Over-
Allotment Option

 

Vancouver, British Columbia – (January 24, 2024) – Nuclear Fuels Inc. (CSE: NF, OTCQX:NFUNF) (“Nuclear Fuels” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced private placement consisting of an aggregate of 12,720,000 units (the “Units”), including exercise in full of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, at a price of $0.60 per Unit (the “Issue Price”) for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $7,632,000 (the “Offering”). Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.80 per share until January 24, 2027. The Warrants were issued pursuant to a warrant indenture dated January 24, 2024 between the Company and Endeavor Trust Corporation, as warrant agent.

 

PI Financial Corp. (“PI Financial”) as sole bookrunner, along with PowerOne Capital Markets Ltd. (collectively with PI Financial, the “Underwriters”) as co-lead, acted as the Underwriters in connection with the Offering. In consideration for the services provided by the Underwriters in connection with the Offering, the Company paid the Underwriters a cash commission of $413,204.88 and issued to the Underwriters an aggregate of 620,024 compensation options (the “Compensation Options”). Each Compensation Option is exercisable into one common share of the Company at a price of $0.60 per share until January 24, 2027.

 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for exploration and development expenses for the Kaycee, Moonshine and other projects and for general working capital purposes.

 

The securities issued in connection with the Offering, including any underlying securities, are subject to a hold period of four months, expiring on May 25, 2024, in accordance with applicable securities laws.

 

Related Party Transaction

 

enCore Energy Corp. (“enCore”), an insider of the Company, participated in the Offering, acquiring 1,716,260 Units for a total value of $1,029,756. The insider participation constitutes a “related party transaction” under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). After the Offering, enCore holds an 18.3% stake in the Company. The Company will be relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation requirements contained in section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 and the minority shareholder approval requirements contained in section 5.7(1) (a) of MI 61-101, as the Company is not listed on specified markets and the fair market value of the insider participation in the Offering does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report 21 days before closing of the Offering as the details of the insider participation were not known at that time.

 

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States of America. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons (as defined in the 1933 Act) unless registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration is available.
