Bison Gold Resources Inc.: Completes Private Placement
Certain eligible persons ("Finders") were paid a commission equal to 8% of the gross proceeds of the Offering (satisfied through the issuance of Units at the Purchase Price) and issued non-transferable broker warrants ("Broker Warrants") equal to 8% of the Units issued pursuant to the Offering. Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share for a period of eighteen (18) months from the closing of the Offering at a price of $0.20 per Common Share.
Pursuant to closing of the Offering, Tom Griffis, who is located at 100 King Street W., Suite 5600, Toronto, Ontario M5X 1C9, acquired direct ownership over 750,000 Common Shares and 750,000 Warrants, representing approximately 9.35% of the Common Shares on a non-diluted basis and 17.10% on a partially diluted basis. Prior to the completion of the Offering, Mr. Griffis did not own or control, directly or indirectly, any Common Shares or convertible securities of the Company. The securities were acquired by Mr. Griffis for investment purposes. Mr. Griffis has a long-term view of the investment and may, depending on market and other conditions, or as future circumstances may dictate, from time to time, on an individual or joint basis, increase or dispose of some or all of the existing or additional securities he holds or will hold, or may continue to hold his current position. Depending on market conditions, general economic and industry conditions, the Company's business and financial condition and/or other relevant factors, Mr. Griffis may develop such plans or intentions in the future. A copy the early warning report in respect of this transaction will be available on the Company's issuer profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com or by contacting the Company at the contact information set out below.
The Offering constitutes a related party transaction within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101") as insiders of the Company subscribed for an aggregate of 775,000 shares under the Offering. The Company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the participation in the Offering by insiders does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before the closing of the second tranche of the Offering, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances so as to be able to avail itself of the proceeds of the private placement and complete the Offering in an expeditious manner.
