Terms of the Transaction
Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction, Talisker has acquired the B.C. Properties by paying to Sable the sum of $500,000, issuing to Sable 30,000,000 post-Consolidation common shares of Talisker (the "Consideration Shares"), granting to Sable a 1.0% net smelter return royalty on each of the B.C. Properties and assuming certain liabilities relating to the B.C. Properties. Sable intends to distribute up to 80% of the Consideration Shares to its shareholders, as a return of capital. Additional information regarding the process for the distribution of these shares will be provided as soon as details have been finalized.
Private Placement Financing
Prior to completion of the Transaction, Talisker completed an offering (the "Offering") of 11,730,000 subscription receipts (each, a "Subscription Receipt"), at a price of $0.20 per Subscription Receipt, for gross proceeds of $2,346,000. Following completion of the Transaction, the gross proceeds from the Offering were released to Talisker, and all of the Subscription Receipts were automatically exchanged for units (each, a "Unit") of Talisker. Each "Unit" is comprised of one post-Consolidation common share of Talisker, and one share purchase warrant of Talisker (each, a "Warrant"). Each "Warrant" entitles the holder to acquire a further post-Consolidation common share of Talisker at a price of $0.30 for a period of twenty-four months, subject to accelerated expiry in the event the closing price of the common shares of Talisker is greater than $0.50 for ten consecutive trading days. The proceeds from the Offering are intended to be used primarily to fund a planned exploration program at the Baker Gold/Silver Project and for general working capital purposes.
The Consideration Shares, and all securities issued in connection with the Offering, are subject to a four-month-and-one-day statutory hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
