TORONTO - Sherritt International Corporation (TSX:S) closed a non-brokered private placement of common shares raising gross proceeds of approximately $43.5 million, according to a press release statement.
The Corporation issued approximately 207 million common shares from treasury at $0.21 per share. Seymour Schulich, through a controlled corporation, subscribed for 68.6 million common shares for gross proceeds of approximately $14.4 million.
The net proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes and to support the Corporation’s operations and strategic initiatives. The capital raise comes as the company maintains a strong balance sheet with more cash than debt, according to InvestingPro data, which tracks over 1,400 US equities with comprehensive financial metrics and expert analysis.
An existing shareholder holding approximately 13.5% of outstanding common shares participated in the private placement, which constituted a related party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101. Sherritt relied on exemptions from formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements as the fair market value of securities issued to the related party does not exceed 25% of the Corporation’s market capitalization. The private placement did not result in a change of control.
The Corporation did not file a material change report 21 days before closing as the principal terms and related party participation were not finalized until close to the closing date.
Sherritt operates a hydrometallurgical processing facility for nickel and cobalt in Alberta, Canada, and holds interests in the Moa Joint Venture in Cuba. The company’s Power division owns Energas, an independent energy producer in Cuba.
