Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 27, 2023) - Meryllion Resources Corporation (CSE: MYR), ("Meryllion" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it has closed a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") pursuant to which the Corporation has issued a total of 2,000,000 units of the Corporation (the "Units") at a price of $0.05 per Unit for gross proceeds of $100,000. Each Unit consists of one common share of the corporation (a "Common Share") and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire an additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.08 per share at any time up until July 1, 2023. The Corporation intends to use the proceeds from the Private Placement for working capital purposes.
Mr. David Steinepreis, a director of the Corporation, purchased all of the Units issued pursuant to the Private Placement through Croesus Mining Pty Ltd. The issuance of Units to Mr. Steinepreis constitutes a related-party transaction within the meaning of Multi-Lateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Pursuant to Sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, the Corporation is exempt from the requirements to obtain a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval because its common shares trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") and the fair market value of the insider's participation in the Private Placement is below 25% of the Corporation's market capitalization for purposes of MI 61-101.
The Corporation did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Private Placement because the details of the participation therein by related parties to the Corporation were not settled until shortly prior to the closing, and the Corporation wished to close on an expedited basis for business reasons.
The Private Placement is subject to final acceptance of the CSE. All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.
