Vancouver, B.C. – May 6, 2020, King Global Ventures, Inc. (“King” or the “Company”) reports the following update to its press release of April 28, 2020 regarding its proposed private placement. The Company intends to complete a non-brokered private placement of up to 40 million units at one and one-half cent per unit for gross proceeds of up to $600,000.
Each unit of the offering comprises one common share of the Company and one share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional share in the capital of the Company at a price of five cents per warrant for a period of two years from the date the units are issued. The warrants will provide for the Company to accelerate the warrant expiry in the event that the shares close at, or above, $0.07 for 10 consecutive trading days.
The pricing of the offering is in reliance of the temporary relief measures established by the TSX- V on April 8, 2020. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the TSX-V published the temporary relief measures to Policy 4.1 and Policy 4.3, lowering the minimum pricing from five cents to one cent per share for shares issued pursuant to a private placement, where the market price of an issuer’s shares is not greater than five cents. In accordance with the published criteria to utilize such temporary relief measures; the Company confirms as follows:
The proceeds from the offering will be used as follows: (1) to pay expenses and finders fees of the offering not to exceed $60,000; (2) retire outstanding debt of $83,714; (3) pay annual tsx-v filing fees estimated at $10,000; (4) annual audit expenses of $12,000; (5) annual meeting expenses of $8,000; and (6) fund a reserve of $426,286 for resource project evaluation and acquisitions. None of the funds will be utilized to pay management fees, related parties or Investor Relations Activities. If the offering is not fully subscribed, the proceeds will be used in such proportions as the directors and management determine are in the best interests of the Company. Although the Company intends to use the proceeds of the offering as described above, the actual allocation of proceeds may vary from the uses set out depending on future operations, events or opportunities.
The offering will be completed pursuant to certain exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws. The offering may be closed in one or more tranches. There is no minimum subscription amount. The Company may pay finders’ fees to eligible finders of up to 8 per cent cash and 8 per cent finder warrants. Each finder’s warrant may be exercised to acquire a share at five cents for six months.
The securities issued pursuant to the private placement will be subject to a four-month hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws and are subject to the Exchange Hold Period and will be legended accordingly. Certain directors and/or officers of the Company, including John F. Cook, President and a director of the Company, are expected to participate in the private placement.
The offering is open, subject to certain limitations discussed as follows, to existing shareholders of the Company who, at the close of business on May 5, 2020, held common shares of the Company and who continue to hold common shares of the Company at the time of closing of the offering, pursuant to the prospectus exemption set out in Multilateral CSA Notice 45-313 and OSC Rule 45-501, and the various corresponding blanket orders and rules of participating jurisdictions. The total acquisition cost to a subscriber under the existing shareholder exemption cannot exceed $15,000 unless that subscriber has obtained advice from a registered investment dealer regarding the suitability of the investment. There is a minimum subscription amount of $7,500. Any existing shareholder interested in participating in the offering should contact the Company. The Company will fill subscriptions from investors on a first-come, first-served basis, wherein the subscribers who are first to submit duly completed subscription agreements with payment of the corresponding subscription proceeds will have their subscriptions filled first.
If subscriptions received for the offering based on all available exemptions exceed the maximum offering amount of $600,000, subscriptions will be accepted at the discretion of the Company, such that it is possible that a subscription received from a shareholder may not be accepted by the Company if the offering is oversubscribed.
