Refined Energy Corp. Expands Warrant Expiry Date for Holders
Refined Energy Corp. Extends Warrant Expiry Date
Refined Energy Corp. (CSE: RUU; OTC: RFMCF; FRA: CWA0) has made a significant announcement regarding its outstanding common share purchase warrants. Starting from November 15, 2024, the expiry date of a total of 2,598,335 warrants will be extended by a full year. Originally set to expire on November 29, 2024, these warrants will now have an expiry date of November 29, 2025. This change is officially known as the Warrant Amendment.
Understanding the Warrant Amendment
The warrants in question were initially issued on November 29, 2021, through a private placement at a price of $0.12 per unit. Each unit comprised one common share of Refined Energy Corp. and a share purchase warrant, giving holders the right to buy shares at $0.15 until what was initially the original expiration date of November 29, 2023. In a previous development in November 2023, this expiration date was already extended to November 29, 2024. Now, with the recent amendment, shareholders have an extended opportunity until November 29, 2025, to exercise these warrants.
Implications for Shareholders
This amendment provides warrant holders ample time to explore their options regarding the exercise of the warrants and to potentially increase their stake in the company's equity. After two consolidations of the company’s securities—one on June 30, 2022, and another on February 15, 2024—the exercise price of the warrants currently stands at $0.60 per share. The management views this as a strategic step to enhance shareholder value by encouraging participation in ownership through exercised options.
Supporting Stakeholders
Noteworthy holders of these warrants include two insiders from Refined Energy Corp., specifically the Chief Executive Officer, Mark Fields, and Chief Financial Officer, Eli Dusenbury, who holds a stake through a corporation he controls. Together they hold a total of 35,833 warrants, which positions them uniquely in regard to the company's direction and performance with respect to the warrants.
Compliance with Regulations
Given the involvement of these insiders, the Warrant Amendment falls under the classification of a "related party transaction" according to the Multilateral Instrument 61-101. The company has opted to rely on exemptions that mitigate formal valuation and minority approval requirements, as the market value concerning insiders remains below 25% of the overall market capitalization of the company. Regardless, the proposal for extending the expiry was unanimously endorsed by the board, although Mr. Fields abstained from the vote due to his interests.
