25 Apr 2023capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
Trilogy closed the previously announced placement: 5,854,545 shares at US$0.55 for US$3.22 million, for general corporate purposes. Electrum and South32 each put in US$1.2 million, and with Giardini the insiders bought 4,545,454 shares. Shares outstanding are now 154,837,574, with Electrum at 21.0% and South32 at 12.0%.
What it means for a shareholder
5.9m new shares at US$0.550 to raise about US$3.2m. That's 3.8% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 3.8% smaller. If you held US$1,000 of shares (1,818 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00122% to 0.00117% of the company. To keep it you'd need 71 more shares - about US$39 at the issue price.

18 Apr 2023capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
Trilogy announced plans for a non-brokered private placement of about 5,854,545 shares at US$0.55, raising about US$3.22 million for general corporate purposes. Its two largest shareholders, Electrum (US$1.2M) and South32 (US$1.2M, the Ambler Metals joint venture partner), plan to take part along with CEO Tony Giardini. The shares would be about 3.9% of those outstanding, and it still needs TSX and NYSE American approval.

The final version of the Sunward proxy replaces the blanks in the earlier draft: both shareholder meetings are set for June 15, 2015, a court hearing for about June 17, and completion expected in June 2015.

NovaCopper filed a preliminary proxy for its planned all-share purchase of Sunward Resources Ltd.: each Sunward share would get 0.3 of a NovaCopper share, with the deal valued at about US$20.1 million for fee purposes. It needs votes of both companies' shareholders, court approval and regulatory approvals, and completion is pencilled in for June/July 2015. Directors Gregory Lang and Igor Levental sit on both boards and abstained, and Thomas Kaplan also abstained, citing his relationship with Electrum (text cut off).
