Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On November 23, 2009, the Company closed a private placement of units. In the aggregate, the Company placed 3,003,400 units of the Company at a price of $1.00 per unit for gross aggregate proceeds of $3,003,400. Each unit is comprised of one share of common stock and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each full warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share until May 31, 2010 and thereafter at an exercise price of $1.75 per share until November 15, 2011. The net proceeds of the offering will be used by Timberline for exploration expenditures, working capital and general corporate purposes.
In connection with the private placement, the Company agreed to pay qualified agents a cash compensation fee in U.S. dollars in an amount equal to seven percent (7%) of the gross proceeds of the offering received by the Company for units placed by such agents. The cash compensation fee is equal to $196,238. The agents will also receive 196,238 agents’ warrants, exercisable to acquire common stock equal in number to seven percent (7%) of the total number of units sold that were placed by the agents.
The securities of the private placement were not registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state, and are subject to resale restrictions and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption from such the registration requirements in accordance with all applicable state securities laws. The securities were placed pursuant to exemptions from registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and by Rule 903 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, such exemptions being available based on information obtained from the investors in the private placement.
