Capstone Copper and Orion Announce C$375 Million Bought Deal

01.02.2024 | 22:40 Uhr | CNW

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR OVER UNITED STATES WIRE SERVICES/

VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 1, 2024 /CNW/ - Capstone Copper Corp. ("Capstone" or the "Company") (TSX: CS) and Orion Fund JV Limited, Orion Mine Finance Fund II LP and Orion Mine Finance (Master) Fund I-A LP (collectively, "Orion" or the "Selling Shareholders") jointly announce that they have entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters led by RBC Capital Markets, as Lead Bookrunner and including National Bank Financial and Scotiabank as Joint Bookrunners (collectively, the "Underwriters") pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a bought deal basis from the Company and Orion, a total of 59,520,000 common shares of Capstone ("Common Shares") at a price of C$6.30 per Common Share (the "Offering Price"), for aggregate gross proceeds of C$374,976,000 (the "Offering"). The Company has granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable in whole or in part at any time up to 30 days after the closing of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional 8,928,000 Common Shares from the Company at the Offering Price (the "Over-Allotment Option") which, if exercised in full, would increase the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering to C$431,222,400. The Offering is expected to close on or about February 8, 2024 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including Capstone and Orion receiving all necessary regulatory approvals.

In connection with the Offering, the Company will issue 47,620,000 Common Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of C$300,006,000. The Selling Shareholders will receive gross proceeds of C$74,970,000 from the secondary sale of 11,900,000 Common Shares.

The net proceeds of the Offering received by Capstone will be used to advance near term growth initiatives in Chile, notably the Mantoverde Optimized Project and Santo Domingo detailed engineering, advance expansionary exploration programs, as well as for general corporate and working capital purposes to provide additional balance sheet flexibility as further described in the prospectus supplement. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the secondary sale, which will be paid directly to the Selling Shareholders.

The Offering will be made by way of a prospectus supplement to the Company's short form base shelf prospectus dated March 1, 2023 in all of the provinces and territories of Canada (other than Quebec) (the "Prospectus Supplement") and may be offered in the United States to "qualified institutional buyers" pursuant to Rule 144A under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") and in those other jurisdictions outside Canada and the United States pursuant to exemptions from prospectus and registration requirements.

As part of the Offering, Orion has agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to sell any Common Shares or other securities of Capstone for a period of 90 days from the closing of the Offering. The Company has also agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to issue any Common Shares or other securities of Capstone for a period of 90 days from the closing of the Offering.

The Selling Shareholders currently hold an aggregate of 164,836,179 Common Shares, representing approximately 23.7% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares. Following the closing of the Offering, but before giving effect to the Over-Allotment Option, the Selling Shareholders will, in the aggregate, beneficially own 152,936,179 Common Shares, representing 20.6% of the outstanding Common Shares. Following the closing of the Offering, and assuming that the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, the Selling Shareholders will, in the aggregate, beneficially own 20.3% of the outstanding Common Shares.

The securities under the Offering have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the United States and may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, in the United States (as such term is defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act), except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities in the United States or in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is not permitted.

The Prospectus Supplement will be filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca on or before February 5, 2024.
