Sprott Resource Corp. announces pricing of PBS Coals Corporation offering
TORONTO, July 16 - (TSX: SCP) - Sprott Resource Corp. ("SRC")
announced today that it has received a letter from the syndicate of agents
(the "Agents") for the PBS Coals Corporation ("PBS") private placement
informing SRC that they have priced the PBS private placement at $6.00 per
subscription receipt. The Agents have confirmed and allocated orders for
35,716,000 subscription receipts for a total offering size of $214,296,000.
The Agents have indicated that the offering was substantially oversubscribed
and features a list of well-known international institutional investors.
Assuming that the offering described above and the Talbot Group of Australia
purchase (see press release dated June 27, 2008) both close as planned, SRC
has received confirmation from the Agents that it will have sold, in the
aggregate, approximately 17.05 million shares of PBS leaving it with an
estimated 19.9 percent shareholding (or 27.14 million shares) in PBS.
"We would like to thank the Agents for their efforts in respect of the
offering," stated Kevin Bambrough, President and CEO of SRC. "We would also
like to thank PBS management and the directors PBS for their efforts to date
and for the opportunity to participate as an investor in PBS. We will remain
strong supporters of PBS and look forward to PBS realizing its growth
potential."
The offering is expected to close on July 31, 2008, with proceeds held in
escrow until closing of the Penfold Acquisition Corp. amalgamation, expected
on or before August 28, 2008. The closing of the offering is subject to due
diligence, execution of the agency agreement between PBS, the selling
shareholders and the Agents, and standard material change clauses.
