Vancouver, Canada – December 6, 2022 – Coppernico Metals Inc. (“Coppernico” or the “Company”) announces that it is proposing to raise up to C$3.5 million by privately placing subscription agreements for future equity security ("SAFE"). Amounts invested in the SAFE will automatically convert into Coppernico's common shares to be priced at a 20% discount to its next common share qualifying financing. A qualifying financing is one that is equal to or greater than the dollar amount of SAFEs sold, and which is coupled with a listing on a recognized stock exchange. The minimum SAFE conversion price is C$0.30 and the maximum is C$1.25 per common share.
The SAFE offering is not brokered and does not have a minimum or maximum aggregate subscription amount. Proceeds will be used for corporate costs, potential acquisition, and working capital. The SAFEs and any common shares into which they are converted will have a four-month hold period in Canada from the completion date of the SAFE offering. The SAFEs will not be registered under Canadian or US securities laws and will only be offered where and to whom permitted by applicable law. Insiders are expected to participate for an amount of approximately C$100,000.
"We believe that we are in the final stages of our community access agreement for our flagship Peruvian copper-gold mineral project and are reviewing additional acquisitions in South America, which is why Coppernico equity is difficult to definitively price at this time," commented Ivan Bebek, CEO of Coppernico. "We feel the SAFE provides a fair approach to pricing both for investors and the Company given this uncertainty and the current absence of a market to discover the pricing. The Company will disclose any changes to the access agreement negotiations and its listing application plans as events require."
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Ivan Bebek
President, CEO and Director
