SOUTH PERTH, Western Australia, Sept. 15 /CNW/ - Extract Resources Ltd
("Extract" or the "Company") (ASX / TSX: EXT) is pleased to announce that it
has successfully completed its previously announced underwritten private
placement ("Placement") of special warrants ("Special Warrants") for gross
proceeds of A$40.3 million.
The underwriters, BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. and Haywood Securities Inc.
("Underwriters"), have placed 5.2 million Special Warrants at a price of
A$7.75 per Special Warrant. The Underwriters provided notice that the escrow
release conditions relating to the Placement had been satisfied. Proceeds of
the Placement were provided to Extract.
Each Special Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one ordinary share
(an "Ordinary Share") of Extract for no further consideration. Each Special
Warrant will be automatically exercised for no additional consideration into
one Share on a one-for-one basis at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the earlier of
the following dates: (i) the third business day after the date ("Qualification
Date") on which a receipt is issued by the securities regulatory authorities
in each of the provinces in Canada other than Quebec ("Qualifying
Jurisdictions") for a final prospectus qualifying the Ordinary Shares to be
issued on exercise of the Special Warrants; and (ii) the date which is four
months and a day after the closing date ("Closing Date") of the Placement,
namely January 16, 2010.
The Special Warrants are subject to resale restrictions in Canada for a
period of four months from the closing date and can not be exercised prior to
the automatic exercise date. Extract will use commercially reasonable best
efforts to file and obtain a receipt for a prospectus in all Qualifying
Jurisdictions within 30 days. In the event the Clearance Date has not occurred
by 75 days after the Closing Date, each unexercised Special Warrant will
thereafter entitle the holder to acquire 1.05 Ordinary Shares.
