VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - June 25, 2013) -
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
Altima Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ARH) ("Altima" or the "Company") announces that it has closed the private placement announced in a News Release dated April 11, 2013. On June 18, 2013 the Company received acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange to close the private placement.
In accordance with the provisions of the Subscription Agreements, on June 24, 2013, the Company issued a total of 12,559,120 Units at $0.05 per Unit as follows:
- 8,534,120 Units, each Unit consisting of one common share and one share purchase warrant, each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share at $0.10 per share on or before June 23, 2015 (the "NFT Financing"); and
- 4,025,000 Units, each Unit consisting of one flow-through common share and one share purchase warrant, each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share at $0.10 per share on or before June 23, 2015 (the "FT Financing").
The Company also issued a total of 509,000 common shares at a deemed price of $0.05 per share as finders' fees in connection with this financing.
All of these shares, including any shares issued on exercise of the warrants and issued as finder's fees, will be subject to a hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws expiring on October 25, 2013, and will be subject to such further restrictions on resale as may apply under applicable foreign securities laws;
Two Insiders have directly and/or indirectly subscribed for a total of 5,682,520 Units from the financing, and accordingly those related parties may acquire up to an additional 11,365,040 common shares in the capital stock of the Company (including shares that may be issued on exercise of warrants issued in connection with this financing), which will increase their pro rata shareholdings in the Company (the "Related Party Transaction"). All of the independent directors of the Company, acting in good faith, have determined that the fair market value of the securities being issued and the consideration paid is reasonable and, with the value of the Related Party Transaction being less than 25% of the Company's market capitalization, is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of the Ontario Securities Commission's Rule 61-501.
Proceeds of $201,250 from the FT Financing will be used for exploration and development of the Company's Chambers-Ferrier area properties, which lie immediately west of the multiple-zone producing pools in the Ferrier Field, Alberta. The exploration work conducted will qualify as a Canadian Exploration Expense for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada), which will then be renounced by the Company to the placees.
Proceeds of $426,706 from the NFT Financing will also be used for exploration and development of the Company's Chambers-Ferrier area properties, as well as for general working capital.
