MAG Silver Corp. (TSX / NYSE American: MAG)
(“
MAG” or the “
Company”)
announced today that it has completed its previously announced
bought deal private placement and has issued 969,450 common shares
on a “flow-through basis” (as defined in the Income Tax Act
(Canada)) (the “
Flow-Through Shares”), including
126,450 Flow-Through Shares issued upon the full exercise of a 15%
over-allotment option, at a price of C$23.75 per Flow-Through Share
for aggregate gross proceeds of C$23,024,437.50 (the
“
Flow-Through Private Placement”).
The total gross proceeds from the Flow-Through
Private Placement will be used to incur expenses that are eligible
“Canadian exploration expenses” that will qualify as “flow-through
mining expenditures”, as such terms are defined in the Income Tax
Act (Canada) (the “Qualifying Expenditures”),
related to the Company’s Larder Project located in Ontario, Canada.
The Company will have until December 31, 2024 to incur and renounce
the Qualifying Expenditures using the proceeds of the Flow-Through
Private Placement.
The Flow-Through Private Placement was led by
BMO Capital Markets and Raymond James Ltd. (the “Lead
Underwriters”), together with a syndicate of underwriters
consisting of Canaccord Genuity Corp., H.C. Wainwright & Co.,
LLC, National Bank Financial Inc., Roth Canada Inc., TD Securities
Inc. and Scotia Capital Inc. (together with the Lead Underwriters,
the “Underwriters”). In connection with the
Flow-Through Private Placement, the Underwriters received a
commission equal to 5.0% of the gross proceeds of the Flow-Through
Private Placement.
The Flow-Through Shares will be subject to a
hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of
issuance in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
The Flow-Through Shares have not been, and will not be, registered
under the U.S. Securities Act and are not permitted to be offered
or sold within the United States absent such registration or an
applicable exemption from the registration requirements
therein.
