The gross proceeds of the PMI Financing (the "Escrowed Funds") are being held in escrow pursuant to the terms of a subscription receipt agreement dated December 8, 2021 between PMI and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as subscription receipt agent and as escrow agent for the Escrowed Funds (the "Subscription Receipt Agreement"). Upon satisfaction or waiver of the Escrow Release Conditions, the Escrowed Funds together with any interest earned thereon, will be released to the Resulting Issuer (and the finders in respect of any Finder's Fees, as defined below) in accordance with the terms set out in the Subscription Receipt Agreement. If the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied or waived, or if the proposed Transaction is not completed, the Subscription Receipts will be cancelled without any further action and the Escrowed Funds together with any interest earned thereon will be returned to subscribers on a pro rata basis with any shortfall of funds being paid by PMI.
The Second Tranche was conducted on a non-brokered private placement basis and finder's fees will be paid in association with the Second Tranche of $68,200 (the "Finder's Fees") and an aggregate of 140,000 non-transferable compensation options (the "Compensation Options"), each exercisable by the holder thereof to acquire a Unit at a price of $0.50 per Unit for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of issuance. The Finder's Fees and Compensation Options will be paid by the Company upon the automatic conversion of the Subscription Receipts.
The net proceeds of the PMI Financing will be used to continue the development of existing projects and undertake the acquisition of new projects of the resulting issuer (the "Resulting Issuer"), being the Company, after giving effect to the Transaction, as well as for general working capital of the Resulting Issuer. All securities issued pursuant to the PMI Financing bears or will bear a hold period expiring on the date that is four months and one day following the date of issuance thereof in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
