Canada Nickel Announces Closing of Anglo American Investment and Bought Deal Public Offering for Total Proceeds of C$44 Million

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES /

Canada Nickel Company Inc. ("Canada Nickel" or the "Company ") (TSXV: CNC) (OTCQX: CNIKF) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously-announced investments from Anglo American for aggregate gross proceeds of C$26,154,294.71 whereby Anglo American subscribed for (i) 12,569,235 common shares in the capital of  the Company (" Common Shares ") at C$1.95 per Common Share, and (ii) 952,623 Common Shares at C$1.77 per Common Share (collectively, the " Anglo American Investment "). Upon completion of the Anglo American Investment, Anglo American will hold 9.9% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

The Company also concurrently closed its "bought deal" prospectus offering (the " Offering ") for aggregate gross proceeds of C$18,208,763 . Under the Offering, the Company sold the following:

  • an aggregate of 7,462,500 Common Shares at a price of C$1.77 per Common Share; and

  • an aggregate of 1,748,300 Common Shares issued as "flow-through shares" (the " FT Shares ") within the meaning of the Income Tax Act ( Canada ) at a price of C$2.86 per FT Share.

The Offering was completed pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated February 14, 2023 , entered into among the Company and a syndicate of underwriters led by Scotiabank, as lead underwriter and sole bookrunner, and including Red Cloud Securities Inc., Cormark Securities Inc., Echelon Wealth Partners Inc., Haywood Securities Inc., and Research Capital Corporation (collectively, the " Underwriters "). In connection with the Offering the Underwriters received an aggregate cash commission of 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. No Commission was paid to the Underwriters in respect of the Anglo American Investment.

An amount equal to the gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT Shares will be used to incur eligible resource exploration expenses which will qualify as (i) "Canadian exploration expenses" (as defined in the Tax Act), and (ii) "flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures" (as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Tax Act) (collectively, the " Qualifying Expenditures "). Qualifying Expenditures in an aggregate amount equal to the gross proceeds raised from the issuance of the FT Shares will be renounced to the initial purchasers of the FT Shares with an effective date no later than December 31, 2023 . If the Company is unable to renounce such Qualifying Expenditures, or if the Qualifying Expenditures renounced are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency, the Company will, to the extent permitted by the Tax Act, indemnify each purchaser of FT Shares for any additional taxes payable by such purchaser as a result of the Company's failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures.

The net proceeds raised from the Anglo American Investment and the sale of the Common Shares under the Offering will be used primarily for the exploration and advancement of the Company's Crawford Nickel-Cobalt Sulphide Project and its other Ontario properties, repayment of the Auramet loan facility and for general working capital purposes.

The Company filed a final short form prospectus (the " Prospectus ") in the provinces of Ontario , British Columbia and Alberta , pursuant to National Instrument 44-101 – Short Form Prospectus Distributions to qualify for distribution the Common Shares and FT Shares offered pursuant to the Offering.
