UEX Closes Oversubscribed $2.0 Million Private Placement

21.05.2020  |  The Newswire
Saskatoon, May 21, 2020 - UEX Corp. (TSX:UEX) ("UEX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of its non-brokered private placement whereby the Company issued a total of 12,500,000 units of the Company ("Units") at a price of $0.16 per Unit for gross proceeds of $2.0 million (the "Offering"). Each Unit consisted of one common share of the Company ("Common Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.21 until May 20, 2023.

Due to investor demand, the Offering was significantly oversubscribed. On May 1, 2020, UEX announced the non-brokered private placement for 4,375,000 Units for gross proceeds of $700,000 and reserved the right to increase the Offering to 6,250,000 Units at $0.16 per unit to raise a total of up to $1.0 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to support planned exploration activities at Christie Lake and for general working capital.

The securities issued by UEX in connection with the Offering are subject to a four month plus one day "hold period" as prescribed by the Toronto Stock Exchange and applicable securities laws. The Company paid finders' fees of 6% in cash on subscriptions from certain subscribers introduced by brokers to the Company.

One insider of the Company purchased Units under the Offering. The Offering to such person constituted a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multi-lateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal 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 in respect of related party participation in the placement as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involved the related party, exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization .

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
