Integra Gold Announces Bought Deal Private Placement Upsized to
C$11,500,000
Integra Gold Corp. (TSX-V:ICG) ("Integra Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has increased the size of its previously announced bought deal financing to C$11,500,000.
Pursuant to an amended agreement, the syndicate of underwriters co-led by Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd. and Paradigm Capital Inc. and including Beacon Securities Limited, Cormark Securities Inc., GMP Securities L.P. and Haywood Securities Inc. (together, the "Underwriters") will purchase for their own account or arrange for substituted purchasers to purchase on a bought-deal private placement basis
19,696,970 flow-through common shares (the "Flow-Through Shares") and 17,857,143 common shares (the "Common Shares") from Integra Gold at a price of C$0.33 per Flow-Through Share and C$0.28 per Common Share for aggregate gross proceeds to Integra Gold of C$11,500,000 (the "Offering").
The Underwriters shall also have the option (the "Underwriters' Option") to purchase from Integra Gold up to an additional 15% of the number of Flow-Through Shares and up to an additional 15% of the number of Common Shares sold pursuant to the Offering. The Offering will take place by way of a private placement to qualified investors in such provinces of Canada as the Underwriters may designate, and otherwise in those jurisdictions where the Offering can lawfully be made, including but not limited to the United States under applicable private placement exemptions. The securities to be issued under the Offering will have a hold period of four months and one day from closing.
It is expected that the closing of the Offering will occur on or about April 22, 2015 and is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The proceeds raised from the sale of the Flow-Through Shares will be used by the Company to finance qualified Canadian exploration expenditures at the Company's Lamaque Gold Project. The net proceeds raised from the sale of the Common Shares will be used for surface and underground exploration at the Company's Lamaque Gold Project and for general corporate purposes.
In consideration for their services, the Underwriters will receive a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, including any offered securities sold pursuant to the Underwriters' Option. As additional consideration, Integra Gold has agreed to pay to the Underwriters a number of broker warrants (the "Broker Warrants") equal to 5.0% of the Common Shares and Flow-Through Shares issued under the Offering. Each Broker Warrant is exercisable into one Common Share for a period of 12
months at a price of $0.28.
