Vancouver, British Columbia
February 12, 2021 – United Lithium Corp. (CSE: ULTH; OTC: ULTHF; FWB: 0UL) (“ULTH” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Mackie Research Capital Corporation, as lead agent and sole bookrunner (the “Agent“), in connection with a best-efforts private placement offering (the “Offering”) of a minimum of $5,000,000 and up to a maximum of $8,000,000 in special warrants of the Company (the “Special Warrants”) at a price equal to $0.66 per Special Warrant (the “Offering Price”).
Each Special Warrant shall be exercisable, for no additional consideration at the option of the holder, into one unit of the Company (each, a “Unit“), with each Unit being comprised of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share (each, a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $0.85 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months after Closing (the “Expiry Date”).
The Company has granted the Agent an option (the “Over-Allotment Option“) to purchase up to an additional 15% of the number of Special Warrants issued pursuant to the Offering to cover any over-allotments, exercisable at any time 48 hours prior to the Closing (as defined herein) of the Offering.
The net proceeds raised under the Offering will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, and for funding potential future acquisition opportunities.
As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, the Company will use its reasonable commercial efforts to prepare and file with each of the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada, other than Quebec, in which the of Special Warrants are sold (the “Jurisdictions”) and obtain a receipt for, a preliminary short form prospectus and a final short form prospectus (which may, in the discretion of the Company, be in the form of a final base shelf prospectus and supplement thereto) qualifying the distribution of the Units underlying the Special Warrants (the “Final Prospectus”), in compliance with applicable securities law, within one-hundred twenty (120) days from the Closing of the Offering.
In the event that the Company has not received a receipt for the Final Prospectus within one-hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing, each unexercised Special Warrant will thereafter entitle the holder thereof to receive upon the exercise thereof, at no additional consideration, one-and-one-tenth (1.10) Unit (instead of one Unit) and thereafter at the end of each additional thirty (30) day period prior to the Qualification Date (as defined below), each Special Warrant will be exercisable for an additional 0.02 of a Unit.
All unexercised Special Warrants will automatically be exercised on the date (the “Qualification Date”) that is the earlier of (i) six (6) months and a day following Closing of the Offering, and (ii) the 3rd business day after a receipt is issued for the Final Prospectus.
The Agent will receive an aggregate cash commission equal to 5.0% of the gross proceeds from the Offering, including in respect of any exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. In addition, the Company will grant the Agent, on date of Closing, non-transferable compensation options (the “Compensation Options”) equal to 5% of the total number of Special Warrants under the Offering (including in respect of any exercise of the Over-Allotment Option). Each Compensation Option will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Unit (a “Compensation Option Unit”) at an exercise price per Compensation Option Unit equal to the Offering Price for a period of 24 months after the date of Closing.
The Agent will receive an aggregate advisory commission equal to 2.0% of the gross proceeds from the Offering, including in respect of any exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. In addition, the Company will grant the Agent, on date of Closing, advisory options (the “Advisory Options”) equal to 2% of the total number of Special Warrants under the Offering (including in respect of any exercise of the Over-Allotment Option). Each Advisory Option will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Unit (an “Advisory Unit”) at an exercise price per Advisory Unit equal to the Offering Price for a period of 24 months after the date of Closing.
If the Qualification Date occurs prior to the Agent exercising its Compensation Options or Advisory Options, each ofCompensation Option and Advisory Option shall be exercisable to acquire one (1) Unit (or, if applicable, one-and-one-tenth (1.10) Units if a receipt for the Final Prospectus is not received 120 days following the Closing, and an additional 0.02 of a Unit for each additional 30 days thereafter prior to the Qualification Date).
The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary approvals to list the Common Shares, Warrant Shares, and Common Shares issuable on the exercise of the Compensation Option Units and Advisory Units on the Exchange on the date of Closing and the date of the issuance of the underlying Warrant Shares, respectively.
The Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals, including the approval of the Exchange, and the entering into of an agency agreement between the Company and the Agent. Closing of the Offering is expected to be on or about the week of March 5, 2021 (the “Closing”).
