VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Norseman Capital Ltd. (NEX:NOC.H) (“Norseman” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that, in connection with its previously announced non-brokered private placement financing (the ''Offering'') of common shares (“Shares”) in the capital of the Company at a price of CAD$0.05 per Share, it is increasing the size of the Offering to up to $150,000. Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or around July 6, 2020.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate and working capital purposes. Completion of the Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and applicable securities regulatory authorities. The Shares issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four month and one day statutory hold period.
Related Party Transaction
In connection with the Offering, it is anticipated that Mr. Campbell Smyth, a director of the Company, will acquire 320,000 Shares. This is a “related party transaction” as such term is defined by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”), requiring the Company, in the absence of exemptions, to obtain a formal valuation for, and minority shareholder approval of, the “related party transaction”. The Company intends to rely on an exemption from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements set out in MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the participation in the Offering by Mr. Smyth does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.
