Canada Nickel Announces $6.5 Million „Bought Deal“ Private Placement of Units

Canada Nickel Company Inc. (TSX-V: CNC) ("Canada Nickel" or the "Company" – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/canada-nickel-company-inc/  ) is pleased to announce it has entered into an agreement with Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. as lead underwriter and sole bookrunner on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (collectively, the "Underwriters"), pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a "bought deal" private placement basis, 4,334,000 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of $1.50 per Unit (the “Issue Price”), for total gross proceeds of $6,501,000 (the "Offering").

Each Unit will consist of one common share (a “Common Share”) in the capital of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”) of the Company. Each Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one Common Share (a “Warrant Share”) at a price per Warrant Share of $2.10 for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Offering, subject to an accelerated expiry option whereby the Company can trigger an accelerated 30-day expiry of the Warrants if the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares listed on the TSX-V remain higher than $3.25 for 20 consecutive trading days. On the 20th consecutive trading day above $3.25 (the “Acceleration Trigger Date”), the Warrant expiry date may be accelerated to 30 trading days after the Acceleration Trigger Date by the issuance of a news release announcing such acceleration, within two trading days of the Acceleration Trigger Date. 

The Company has granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 15% of the Offering in Units (the "Underwriters’ Option"), exercisable in whole or in part at any time up to 48 hours prior to the closing date.

The net proceeds from the sale of the Units will be used to fund a feasibility study work through 2021 on the Company’s Crawford Nickel-Cobalt Sulphide Project and for working capital purposes.

The Offering is expected to close on or about September 30, 2020 and 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 the applicable securities regulatory authorities. The Units to be issued under the Offering will be subject to a hold period in Canada expiring four months and one day from the closing date of the Offering.

In connection with the Offering, the Underwriters will receive a cash commission of 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and that number of non-transferable compensation options (the “Compensation Options”) as is equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of Units sold under the Offering. Each Compensation Option is exercisable into one Common Share of the Company at the Issue Price for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Offering.

The securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
