Institutional Equity Subscription
Bluejay Mining plc, the AIM, FSE listed and OTCQB traded
exploration and development company with projects in Greenland and
Finland, is pleased to announce an equity subscription of ordinary
shares of 0.01 pence each in the Company ("Shares") (the
"Subscription"). Proceeds from the Subscription will be used to
fund a summer drilling programme at the Company's 100% owned
Kangerluarsuk Lead-Zinc-Silver +/- Copper Project
("Kangerluarsuk").
Highlights
-- Up to US$6,000,000 secured in a Subscription with Towards Net
Zero, LLC (the "Investor"), a US-based institutional investor.
-- The Subscription will initially raise US$2,000,000
unconditionally, with the first tranche of investment expected to
occur next week (the "First Tranche").
-- Following the First Tranche, the second conditional tranche
of the Subscription will be expected to occur no later than 12
months hence (the "Second Tranche"). If required by the Company, a
third conditional tranche of US$2,000,000 is also available, with
the consent of the Investor.
-- The Subscription will fund a summer drill programme at
Kangerluarsuk and the Company's general working capital needs.
Bo Møller Stensgaard, CEO of Bluejay Mining, commented :
"I am pleased to announce this equity Subscription with Towards
Net Zero. Up to US$6,000,000 has been secured in three tranches of
US$2,000,000 with the first US$2,000,000 expected to occur next
week.
"The proceeds will, subject to closing contract negotiations
with the drilling and logistical providers, be used to fund a
maiden drilling programme at Kangerluarsuk in 2023. This decision
to drill follows the positive outcome from the recently announced
survey results and aligns to the strategic review carried out
together with Bluejay's Chairman, Robert Edwards which was
announced on 14 February 2023.
"The funding of a drill programme at Kangerluarsuk is a decision
taken by management and the Board of Bluejay based on compelling
evidence and a decision made after the appropriate consideration.
This is a district scale opportunity that hosts potentially
commercial occurrences of Zn-Pb-Ag mineralisation.
"Today's announcement marks an exciting development for Bluejay,
and I look forward to updating shareholders as we continue to
progress our portfolio of promising projects."
Details of the Subscription
The Subscription involves up to three investment tranches by the
Investor, with each investment being made by way of a prepayment of
the subscription price of Shares ("Subscription Shares") to be
issued by the Company. The funding of the unconditional First
Tranche of the Subscription of US$2,000,000 is expected to occur
next week. The funding of the conditional Second Tranche of the
Subscription, in the amount of US$2,000,000, is expected to occur
no later than 12 months hence. Additionally, the Investor may fund
a further US$2,000,000 with the consent of the Company and the
Investor. The funding of each tranche will be subject to customary
conditions precedent.
The Company will issue Subscription Shares, at the Investor's
request, within 36 months of the date of the related prepayment.
The number of Subscription Shares issued by the Company will be
determined by applying the Purchase Price (as set out below) to the
subscription amount, subject to the Floor Price (as set out
below).
The Purchase Price of the Subscription Shares will be equal to
10 pence per share initially. Subject to the Floor Price, described
below, after an initial month, the Purchase Price will reset to the
average of the five daily volume-weighted average prices selected
by the Investor during a specified period immediately prior to the
date of the Investor's notice to issue Subscription Shares, less a
10% discount, rounded down to the nearest one tenth of a pence if
the share price is at or below 20 pence, half of a pence if the
share price is at above 20 pence and at or below 50 pence, or a
whole pence if the share price is at above 50 pence.
The Company will have the ability to reduce the above discounts
by approximately 30% (i.e. from 10% to 7%) if the Company meets a
stipulated ESG Milestone. The ESG Milestones that would qualify the
Company for such a reduction could include energy saving and fuel
reduction requirements at both the Dundas Ilmenite Project and in
field operations work.
In addition, the Company may benefit from share price
appreciation following issuance of Subscription Shares. If an
issuance of Shares to the Investor would result in the effective
discount to the prevailing market price of the Company's Shares
being in excess of 25%, the Purchase Price will be increased by
half of such excess.
The Purchase Price will be the subject of the Floor Price of 2.5
pence per share. If the Purchase Price formula results in a price
that is less than the Floor Price, the Company may forego issuing
Subscription Shares and instead opt to repay the applicable
subscription amount in cash (with a 5% premium), subject to the
Investor's right to receive Subscription Shares at the Floor Price
in lieu of such cash repayment. The Purchase Price will not be the
subject of a cap.
The Company will have the right, but not the obligation, to
forego issuing Shares in relation to the Investor's request for
issuance and instead opt to repay the subscription amount by making
a payment to the Investor equal to the market value of the Shares
that would have otherwise been issued.
The Company may, at its option (but will have no obligation to),
repay the outstanding balance of the Subscription in cash to the
extent that Subscription Shares in relation thereto have not been
issued within thirty-six months of the date of the funding.
The Investor has agreed to certain, substantial, limitations on
its ability to dispose of the Shares it receives. The Investor is
also contractually precluded from shorting the Company's
Shares.
Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for any
ordinary Shares issued and allotted in relation to the share
Subscription to be admitted to trading on AIM. Such ordinary Shares
will only be issued to the extent that the Company has corporate
authority to do so.
The Investor will not be obligated to invest in the Second
Tranche if prior to the Second Tranche the Investor notifies the
Company that the market price of the Company's Shares is below
GBP0.03, the daily trading volume of the Shares is less than an
agreed amount, or the proceeds of the Second Tranche exceed 4.0% of
the Company's market capitalisation.
The Company will make an initial issuance of 5.8 million
Subscription Shares at par value ("Initial Subscription Shares") to
the Investor at the time of the funding of the First Tranche,
towards the ultimate number of Subscription Shares to be issued.
Alternatively, in lieu of applying these Shares towards the
aggregate number of the Subscription Shares to be issued by the
Company, the Investor may make a further payment to the Company
equal to the value of these Shares determined using the
Subscription Price at the time of the payment.
The Company has agreed to issue 3,798,911 new ordinary Shares of
0.01 pence in the Company at a deemed price of 4.73 pence per Share
("Fee Shares") in satisfaction of a fee payable to the
Investor.
Application will be made for the 5,800,000 Initial Subscription
Shares and 3,798,911 Fee Shares ("Admission"), and this is expected
to become effective on or about 20 February 2023. On Admission,
these Shares will rank pari passu with all existing ordinary Shares
in the Company.
Following Admission, the Company will have 1,059,313,658 Shares
in issue with each Share carrying the right to one vote. There are
no Shares currently held in treasury. The total number of voting
rights in the Company is therefore 1,059,313,658 and this figure
may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations
by which they determine if they are required to notify their
interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under
the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the Financial
Conduct Authority.
