Ascot has closed its Private Placement
|
| | Ascot Resources Ltd. (the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to its press releases dated June 11, 2007 and June 18, 2007, it has closed its private placement of 2,080,000 units (the "Units") and 1,000,000 flow-through units (the "FT Units"). As consideration for acting as agents, the syndicate of agents, which was led by PI Financial Corp. and Dundee Securities Corporation, received a cash commission of $130,007.00, 138,262 units with the same terms as the Units and 215,600 agent's options. Each agent's option is exercisable for one common share for two years from the closing date at a price of $1.75.
The Units were priced at $1.50 and consisted of a share and a half warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant") and the FT Units were priced at $1.70 and consisted of a share and a half Warrant. Each Warrant is exercisable into one additional common share of the Company for two years from closing at a price of $2.00 per share. If, however, the Company's stock trades for ten consecutive trading days between the date that is four months following the closing date and the expiry of the Warrant at a daily volume weighted average price in excess of $2.50 for each of those ten days, the Company may give notice to the Warrant holders, within thirty days of the occurrence, that the Warrants will expire thirty days following the giving of the notice, unless exercised by the Warrant holder prior to that date.
All securities issued pursuant to the private placement are subject to a hold period expiring on November 6, 2007.
The funds will be used to further develop the Company's Swamp Point sand and gravel deposit, to explore the Company's Dilworth project and for working capital. The proceeds from the sale of the FT Units will be used for exploration expenses that will constitute Canadian exploration expenses (as defined in the Income Tax Act) and will be renounced for the 2007 taxation year.
