Maritime Resources Corp. (TSXV: MAE,OTC:MRTMD) ("Maritime" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced brokered "best efforts" private placement offering (the "Offering") of common shares in the capital of the Company ("Offered Securities") for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $11,500,490. The Offering was led by Paradigm Capital Inc. ("Paradigm"), as lead agent and sole bookrunner, on a "best efforts" agency basis, together with SCP Resource Finance LP (together with Paradigm, the "Agents"), pursuant to the terms of an agency agreement among the Company and the Agents dated as of July 17, 2025 (the "Closing Date").
Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued an aggregate of 10,177,425 Offered Securities, including the exercise of exercise of the Agents' option to sell additional Offered Securities, at a price of $1.13 per Offered Security (the "Issue Price"). All Offered Securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a four month plus one day hold period in accordance with Canadian securities laws. The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for exploration and development at the Company's mineral projects in Newfoundland and Labrador, repaying the balance of the Company's US$5,000,000 aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes, and general working capital purposes.
In connection with the closing of the Offering, the Company paid the Agents a cash commission and corporate finance fee totaling $684,089 and issued the Agents compensation options exercisable for a period of 24 months following the Closing Date to acquire up to 605,389 Offered Securities at the Issue Price.
The Offering was conducted in all provinces and territories of Canada pursuant to private placement exemptions, in the United States pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), and in such other jurisdictions as agreed to by the Company and the Agents. The securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act, or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws or compliance with the requirements of an applicable exemption therefrom. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States, nor may there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
Certain directors, officers and 10% shareholders of the Company participated in the Offering and subscribed for an aggregate of 30,975 Offered Securities for gross proceeds of $35,002. The participation of such insiders constituted a related party transaction as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company intends to rely on the exemptions in Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the securities issued in the Offering will not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days prior to the closing of the Offering as the subscriptions were not known in advance of its announcement.
