Honey Badger Announces Proposed Private Placement

 

TORONTO, Dec. 01, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Honey Badger Exploration Inc. (TSX-V:TUF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”) announces that it has commenced a non-brokered private placement financing for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $250,001 (the “Offering”) through the sale of a combination of flow-through units (the “FT Units”) and non-flow units (the “Non-FT Units”).

Each FT Unit will be priced $0.06 per FT Unit and will consist of one “flow through” common share of the Company and one half of one non-flow-through common share purchase warrant, with each such full warrant exercisable to acquire one common share for a period of three years following the issuance thereof at a price of $0.10 per share. Each Non-FT Unit will be priced at $0.05625 per Non-FT Unit and will consist of one common share of the Company and one full share purchase warrant, with each such warrant exercisable to acquire one common share for a period of three years following the issuance thereof at a price of $0.075 per share.

It is anticipated that the Offering will close on or before December 6, 2017 (or such other date as the Company may determine), and is subject to the satisfactory completion and receipt of formal documentation, receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and other customary conditions.

As part of the private placement, cash commissions of up to 8% of the total dollars raised and compensation options equal to up to 8% of the total amount of units sold will be paid. Each compensation option will entitle the holder to purchase one non-flow-through unit of the Offering at a price equal to the Offering price.

The proceeds of the sale of the FT Units will be used to incur eligible Canadian Exploration Expenses, as such term is used pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada). The proceeds of the sale of the Non-FT Units will be used to advance the Company’s projects and for working capital purposes.

Any securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a restricted period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.
