CALGARY, AB, Feb. 2, 2023 /CNW/ – Horizon Petroleum Ltd. (“Horizon” or the “Company“) (TSXV: HPL.H) is pleased to announce that the first tranche private placement of Units announced on January 12, 2023, (“Private Placement”) has now closed.

The Company issued 7,850,000 Units at a price of CAD$0.08, for gross ‎proceeds of ‎CAD$628,000. The Units comprised: (i) one common share in the capital of the Company ‎‎(“Common Share”), and (ii) one transferable share purchase ‎‎warrant entitling the holder ‎‎thereof to ‎acquire one Common Share at a price ‎of CAD$0.16 (“Warrant”) per ‎‎share ‎‎(collectively the “Warrants”). The rights under the Warrants will last for a period of ‎‎12 months ‎following the closing date.‎

The Private Placement remains subject to TSX Venture Exchange final acceptance.‎

Horizon paid a finder’s fees of $2,000 cash to Research Capital Corporation and 341,250 ‎convertible securities to Five Talents Investments LLC. The convertible securities allow the holder to acquire Units at a price of $0.08 for a period of 12 months.‎ 

The proposed use of proceeds of the Private Placement are for a loan to the target company of $250,000 and for transaction ‎costs and for working capital purposes‎.  Particulars of the transaction are contained in the news release dated January 12, 2023.

‎Insider Participation

Insider (and entities controlled by insiders) participated in the placement for a total of approximately ‎CAD$149,000.  A portion of the Private Placement constituted a related party transaction within the ‎meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-‎‎101”) as certain insiders of the Company subscribed for an aggregate of 1,862,500 Units pursuant ‎to the Private Placement. The Company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority ‎shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI ‎‎61- 101, as the fair market value of the participation in the Private Placement by insiders does not exceed ‎‎25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. ‎The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at ‎least 21 days before the closing of the Private Placement, which the Company deems reasonable in the ‎circumstances in order to complete the Private Placement in an expeditious manner.‎

All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement will not be able to be traded in Canada, or ‎‎through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange, for a period of four months and one day ‎‎from the date of closing.‎

We expect to close on the second tranche of the private placement, 3,400,000 Units for gross proceeds of $272,000, shortly. 

Completion of the transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, Exchange acceptance and if applicable, disinterested shareholder approval.
