C$15,000,000

 

5,000,000 Units

 

This prospectus supplement (this “Prospectus Supplement”), together with the accompanying short form base shelf prospectus dated October 2, 2020 (the “Prospectus”), qualifies the distribution (the “Offering”) of 5,000,000 units (the “Units”) of Vox Royalty Corp. (“Vox” or the “Corporation”) at a price of C$3.00 per Unit (the “Offering Price”). Each Unit is comprised of one ordinary share (a “Unit Share”) and ½ of an ordinary share purchase warrant (each whole ordinary share purchase warrant, a “Unit Warrant”). Each Unit Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one ordinary share (a “Warrant Share”) of the Corporation at an exercise price of C$4.50 per Warrant Share (the “Warrant Exercise Price”) at any time until March 25, 2024 (the “Expiry Date”). The Units will be issued and sold pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) dated as of March 22, 2021, between Vox and BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. and Cantor Fitzgerald Canada Corporation, as joint bookrunners and co-lead underwriters (the “Co-Lead Underwriters”), along with Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc. and Red Cloud Securities Inc. (together with the Co-Lead Underwriters, the “Underwriters”). The Offering Price has been determined by negotiation between the Corporation and the Co-Lead Underwriters.

The outstanding ordinary shares (the “Shares”) of the Corporation are listed and posted for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) under the symbol “VOX”. On March 19, 2021, the last trading day prior to the date of this Prospectus Supplement, the closing price of the Shares on the TSXV was C$2.97. The Corporation has received conditional approval to list the Shares, including the Unit Shares and the Warrant Shares issuable on exercise of the Unit Warrants, to be distributed pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement on the TSXV. The listing will be subject to the Corporation fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the TSXV.

              Net Proceeds to the 
    Price to the Public    Underwriters’ Fee(1)    Corporation(2) 
Per Unit  C$3.00   C$0.18   C$2.82 
Total(3)   C$15,000,000   C$894,753   C$14,105,247 

 

(1)In consideration for the services rendered by the Underwriters in connection with the Offering, the Corporation has agreed to pay the Underwriters a fee of C$894,753 (the “Underwriters’ Fee”), representing 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering other than gross proceeds on sales made to “President’s List” purchasers, on which a reduced fee of 3% of such gross proceeds will be paid to the Underwriters. The “President’s List” includes purchasers for an aggregate amount of 58,300 Units. See “Plan of Distribution”.

(2)After deducting the Underwriters’ Fee, but before deducting expenses of the Offering, including the preparation and filing of this Prospectus Supplement, which are estimated to be C$800,000 and which will be paid from the proceeds of the Offering.

(3)The Corporation has granted the Underwriters an option (the “Over-Allotment Option”), exercisable in whole or in part in the sole discretion of the Underwriters at any time until the date which is 30 days following the Closing Date, to purchase up to an additional 750,000 Units at the Offering Price, or any combination of up to an additional 750,000 Unit Shares at a price of C$2.85 per Unit Share and up to an additional 375,000 Unit Warrants at a price of C$0.30 per Unit Warrant (collectively, the “Additional Securities”). Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to “Offering” and “Units” assume the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option in full. If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, the total price to the public, Underwriters’ Fee (assuming sales of an aggregate amount of 58,300 Units to “President’s List” purchasers under the Offering) and net proceeds to the Corporation (before payment of the expenses of the Offering) will be C$17,250,000, C$1,029,753 and C$16,220,247, respectively. This Prospectus Supplement qualifies the distribution of the Over-Allotment Option and any Additional Securities issuable upon the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. See “Plan of Distribution”. A purchaser who acquires Units forming part of the Underwriters’ over-allocation position acquires those securities under this Prospectus Supplement, regardless of whether the over-allocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option or secondary market purchases.

 

The Underwriters, as principals, conditionally offer the Units, subject to prior sale, if, as and when issued by the Corporation and accepted by the Underwriters in accordance with the conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement referred to under “Plan of Distribution”. Certain legal matters relating to the Units offered hereunder will be passed upon on behalf of the Corporation by McCarthy Tétrault LLP and on behalf of the Underwriters by Borden Ladner Gervais LLP.

Subscriptions for Units will be received subject to rejection or allotment in whole or in part and the right is reserved to close the subscription books at any time without notice. The closing is expected to take place on or about March 25, 2021 or such later date as the Corporation and the Co-Lead Underwriters may agree (the “Closing Date”), but in any event not later than April 22, 2021. It is anticipated that the Units will be issued through the book-entry system, registered in the name of CDS Clearing and Depositary Services Inc. (“CDS”) or its nominee and will be deposited with CDS. Beneficial holders of the Units, including a purchaser of Units in the United States that is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act (a “Qualified Institutional Buyer”), will receive only a customer confirmation from the Underwriters, or another registered dealer who is a CDS participant, and from or through whom a beneficial interest in the Units are acquired. If any Units are not able to be issued in the book-entry system through CDS in advance of the Closing Date for any reason, then those investors or their designated holders will receive definitive certificates representing their interests in such Units.

 

During the distribution of the Units, the Underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions that stabilize or maintain the market price of the Units in accordance with applicable market stabilization rules. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. See “Plan of Distribution”.

 

The Corporation’s head office is located at 4th Floor, Strathvale House, Cayman Enterprise City, 90 North Church St, PO Box CEC – 138, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, KY1-9012.

In addition, Timothy Strong, a Qualified Person (as such term is defined in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”)) resides outside of Canada.

Although the Corporation has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking information. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information. The forward-looking information contained in each of the documents incorporated by reference herein is made as of the date of such document and, accordingly, is subject to change after such date.

ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT

 

In the opinion of McCarthy Tétrault LLP, counsel to the Corporation, and Borden Ladner Gervais LLP, counsel to the Underwriters, the Unit Shares and the Unit Warrants comprising the Units, and the Warrant Shares would, if issued on the date hereof, be qualified investments within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”) and the regulations thereunder (the “Regulations”) for a trust governed by a “registered retirement savings plan”, a “registered retirement income fund”, a “registered education savings plan”, a “registered disability savings plan” and a “tax-free savings account”, each as defined in the Tax Act (collectively, “Registered Plans”) and a “deferred profit sharing plan”, as defined in the Tax Act, provided that:

 

(a)in the case of the Unit Shares and the Warrant Shares, the Unit Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, are listed on a “designated stock exchange” as defined in the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSXV) or the Corporation is a “public corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act); and

 

(b)in the case of the Unit Warrants, the Warrant Shares are qualified investments as described in (a) above and neither the Corporation, nor any person with whom the Corporation does not deal at arm’s length, is an annuitant, a beneficiary, an employer or a subscriber under or a holder of such Registered Plan or DPSP.

 

Notwithstanding that the Unit Shares, Unit Warrants or Warrant Shares may be qualified investments for a Registered Plan, a holder, annuitant, or subscriber, as the case may be (each a “Plan Holder”), will be subject to a penalty tax on the Unit Shares, Unit Warrants or Warrant Shares if such securities are a “prohibited investment” (as defined in the Tax Act) for the Registered Plan. The Unit Shares, Unit Warrants and Warrant Shares will generally be a “prohibited investment” if the Plan Holder does not deal at arm’s length with the Corporation for purposes of the Tax Act or has a “significant interest” (as defined in the Tax Act) in the Corporation. In addition, Unit Shares and Warrant Shares will not be a prohibited investment if the Unit Shares and Warrant Shares are “excluded property” for a trust governed by a Registered Plan within the meaning of the prohibited investment rules in the Tax Act.

THE CORPORATION

 

Overview

 

Vox is a mining royalty and streaming company focused on building a portfolio of accretive royalties and streams across a diverse base of precious metals assets. However, unlike many of its peers that tend to focus exclusively on one type of commodity, Vox has a unique mandate to opportunistically acquire royalties and streams on quality assets over a diverse portfolio of underlying hard rock commodities including precious metals, base and battery metals as well as certain bulk commodities. Precious metals assets currently make up 70% of the assets underlying the Corporation’s royalties and streams by royalty count.

 

Vox holds a portfolio of 47 royalties and streaming assets, including one royalty option. Vox’s interests span nine jurisdictions (Australia, Canada, Peru, Brazil, Mexico, the United States, Nigeria, South Africa and Madagascar). Vox has royalties on producing mines in addition to royalties over many long-life, development-stage assets and currently targets allocating 80% of its capital to production or near-production stage royalties. Among the current portfolio of royalties and streams are properties operated by several senior global mining companies, including Agnico Eagle Mines Limited, Alamos Gold Inc., Newcrest Mining Limited and Montanore Minerals Corp. (a subsidiary of Hecla Mining Company). Additionally, Vox continues to be one of the fastest growing royalty and streaming acquisition companies since January 2019, announcing 19 separate royalty transactions to acquire over 40 royalties and with over 32,000m of drilling performed in Q4 of 2020.

Vox operates a unique business model within the royalty and streaming space which it believes offers it a competitive advantage. Of these advantages, some are inherent to the Corporation’s business model, such as the diverse approach to finding global royalties providing it with a broader pipeline of opportunities to act on. Other competitive advantages have been strategically built since the Corporation’s formation, including its 2020 acquisition of Mineral Royalties Partnership Ltd.’s proprietary royalty database of over 7,000 royalties globally (the “Database”). The Database is not commercially available to the Corporation’s competitors. The Database includes historical transactions benchmarked over a 40-year period and also virtually integrates global mining royalties with mineral deposits and mining claims, which provides the Corporation with the first-mover advantage to execute bilateral, non-brokered royalty acquisition transactions, which make up the majority of the historical acquisitions of the Corporation. The Corporation also has an experienced technical team that consists of mining engineers and geologists who can objectively review the quality of assets and all transaction opportunities.

 

The Corporation focuses on accretive acquisitions on a net asset value and cash flow per share basis, with a particular emphasis on return of investment. The Corporation’s objective is to build and retain a portfolio of royalties weighted to (i) precious metals in terms of commodities exposure, and (ii) stable geopolitical jurisdictions. As at the date hereof, approximately 80% of Corporation’s royalty and streaming assets by royalty count are located in Australia, Canada and the United States. Further, the Corporation is prioritizing acquiring royalties on producing or near-term producing assets to complement its high-quality portfolio of exploration stage royalties. Specifically, the Corporation’s portfolio currently includes four producing or construction-stage assets, four pre-construction assets and at least another five assets that are in the feasibility stage, that have potential to be toll-treated via a nearby mill or that may restart production operations after care and maintenance. Importantly, the Segilola and Bulong assets are expected to enter its first production in 2021, and feasibility studies for the Kookynie, Pitombeiras and Kenbridge assets are also expected to be released in 2021.

 

As of the date hereof, Vox has entered into 10 conditional, exclusive letters of intent (“LOIs”) between Vox and royalty vendors. These 10 potential transactions provide Vox the opportunity to acquire between 20 and 30 additional royalties and expand its global portfolio to 72 royalties and streaming assets (subject to various conditions and the completion of various transactions, and assuming a midpoint of 25 royalties are acquired). All of these 10 potential transactions have been organically initiated through Vox’s direct outreach to royalty vendors; none of the potential transactions were the subject of brokered sale processes. The royalties underlying the LOIs span various stable mining jurisdictions, including Australia, Canada, the United States and Chile, and the LOIs cover a range of precious metal and base metal mining assets located across stable geopolitical jurisdictions.

 

Assuming completion of the transactions under LOI and a midpoint of 25 royalties acquired, the Corporation’s portfolio will consist of seven producing assets (an increase of 75% compared to its four producing or construction-stage assets in 2020). In addition, six of the royalty assets subject to LOIs are currently in development stage and the remaining 16 royalty assets are in exploration stage (based on an assumed acquisition of 25 royalties). Assuming 25 of the royalties under LOI are purchased, the Corporation projects that the underlying royalties are expected to generate between C$3 million and C$7 million of incremental revenue in 2023. These transactions under LOI are all subject to completion of confirmatory due diligence, execution of definitive binding purchase agreements and satisfaction of customary conditions.

 

Key growth assets for the Corporation during 2021 and 2022 (excluding the royalties underlying the LOIs) include: the Bulong royalty and project, for which the project operator is targeting commencement of mining in Q4 2021; the Segilola royalty and project, for which the project operator is targeting first gold pour in Q2 2021; the Brits royalty and project, which is adjacent to a producing open pit vanadium mine; and the Mt Ida royalty and project, which is a potential Western Australian open pit gold toll-treatment operation. During 2023 and 2024, the Corporation expects revenue growth to be fueled by the Lynn Lake royalty and project, for which the project operator is targeting a construction decision in 2022; the Bowdens royalty and project, which is progressing towards final permitting; according to public disclosure from Silver Mines Ltd.; and the Graphmada royalty and project, which is currently on care and maintenance due to the COVID-19 pandemic but is under review by Bass Metals Limited (“Bass”) for an expanded production restart scenario.

Benefits of Investing in Mining through Royalties

 

The Corporation believes that there are benefits to investing in royalties versus traditional exploration and production mining companies including the following:

 

Leverage to commodity prices

Fixed operating and cash costs, strong margins

Exploration and mine expansion upside at no additional cost

  No capex or cost overrun exposure

No limit to growth as execution risk does not rise with each acquisition

  No dilution

 

Corporate Structure

 

Vox was incorporated on February 20, 2018 by Certificate of Incorporation issued pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) under the name “AIM3 Ventures Inc.” On May 13, 2020, the articles of AIM3 Ventures Inc. were amended to consolidate its shares on the basis of 13.3125 pre-consolidation shares for every one post-consolidation shares. The name of the Corporation was also changed from “AIM3 Ventures Inc.” to “Vox Royalty Corp.” Vox became a public company with its Shares listed on the TSXV on May 25, 2020. On June 30, 2020, Vox filed articles of continuance and continued out of Ontario and into the Cayman Islands.

Recent Developments

 

Corporate Updates

 

On February 22, 2021 the Corporation announced that it had entered into a binding agreement with Gibb River Diamonds Ltd. (“Gibb River”) pursuant to which Vox would acquire a Western Australian gold royalty portfolio for total cash consideration of A$325,000. The royalty portfolio comprises a 1% Net Smelter Return royalty over the Bulgera Gold project operated by Norwest Mineral Ltd., a 1% NSR over the Comet Gold Project operated by Accelerate Resources Ltd. and a 1% NSR over the Mount Monger Gold Project operated by Accelerate and subject to a binding option agreement with Mt Monger Minerals Pty Ltd.

 

Also on February 22, 2021, the Corporation announced that it had granted an aggregate of 116,108 restricted share units (“RSUs”) to independent Board members. The vesting of the RSUs occurs in three stages, with 25,802 RSUs vesting immediately, 45,153 RSUs vesting on the first anniversary and 45,153 vesting on the second anniversary dates. Each RSU entitles the holder to receive one ordinary share of the Corporation.

 

On February 8, 2021, Vox announced the appointment of Andrew Kaip to its Board of Directors. Mr. Kaip has held a number of senior roles in the financial services and mining industries for over 25 years. Most recently, he served as a Managing Director at BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., where he held the position of large cap precious metal analyst and co-head of global mining research. Prior to BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., he also held positions at Haywood Securities and a number of mining and exploration companies based in Canada.

 

Also on February 8, 2021 the Corporation announced the voting results of the meeting of warrantholders that was held on February 3, 2021. At the meeting, the holders of 2,289,667 ordinary share purchase warrants that were originally set to expire on May 14, 2022 (“Warrants”), unanimously voted in favour to amend the Warrants to (a) remove the compulsory call option held by the Corporation, and (b) in conjunction with the foregoing, extend the term of the Warrants by 12 months, such that the warrants will now expire on May 14, 2023.

 

On December 16, 2020, Vox announced an arbitral award in its favour in connection with claims made by a subsidiary of Vox and its co-claimant against Bass. The arbitrator determined that Bass (i) unreasonably withheld consent to assignment of royalty rights to SilverStream, (ii) must pay past due royalties owing from the operator of the producing Graphmada project (over which Vox equitably holds a 2.5% gross sales royalty), and (iii) must pay additional legal costs and expenses.

 

On November 25, 2020 Vox announced it had entered into a binding agreement with Sable Metals and Minerals Pty Ltd pursuant to which Vox would acquire a royalty over a portion of Bushveld Minerals Limited’s Brits Vanadium Project for total consideration of $2 million. The transaction closed on December 18, 2020. Vox agreed to pay upfront $500,000 in cash and $250,000 in Shares. Two further milestone payments are payable, in cash or Shares, at the Corporation’s election, once certain production tonnage milestones are achieved being (i) $1,000,000 once 210,000t have been mined over a continuous six-month period, and (ii) a further $250,000 once 1,500,000t have been mined over a rolling 3-year time horizon. Sable Metals and Minerals Pty Ltd was issued 140,170 Shares for the $250,000 stock portion of the purchase price. Vox used current cash on hand to fund the $500,000 cash consideration payable on closing of the transaction for total consideration of $750,000 in cash and Shares.

 

12

 

On November 10, 2020, Vox entered into a binding purchase and sale agreement to acquire the rights to a portfolio of up to eight royalties from Breakwater Resources Ltd. and certain of its wholly-owned affiliates. The transaction closed on January 21, 2021 with Vox acquiring a portfolio of five royalties. Pursuant to the terms of the transaction documents, an affiliate of Breakwater was issued 252,878 Shares for the C$725,000 stock portion of the purchase price. The Shares were issued at the trailing 30-day volume weighted average price prior to the closing date, being C$2.8670 Share. Vox used current cash on hand to fund the C$400,001 cash consideration payable on closing of the transaction for total consideration of C$1,125,001 in cash and Shares.

 

Financial Updates

 

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Corporation recognized the following asset impairments:

 

As at September 30, 2020, the carrying value of the BK Gold Mines Pty Ltd. investment asset was $1,043,689. The value was presented in the consolidated statement of financial position as a current asset of $26,306 and a non-current asset of $1,017,383. Following the period ended December 31, 2020, the Corporation carried out an impairment assessment in accordance with the Corporation’s accounting policies and using prevailing market data. It was determined that the investment should be impaired as a result of the carrying amount of the asset exceeding its recoverable amount. As at December 31, 2020, the investment will be recognized at $Nil.

 

Following the period ended December 31, 2020, the Corporation carried out an impairment assessment of its royalty, stream and other interests assets in accordance with the Corporation’s accounting policies and using prevailing market data. It was determined that the Las Antas royalty asset, having a carrying value of $500,000 as at September 30, 2020, should be impaired as a result of the carrying amount of the asset exceeding its recoverable amount. As at December 31, 2020, the Las Antas royalty asset will be recognized at $Nil.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The net proceeds to the Corporation from the Offering, after deducting the Underwriters’ Fee (assuming sales of an aggregate amount of 58,300 Units to “President’s List” purchasers under the Offering) and the expenses of the Offering (including expenses relating to the preparation and filing of this Prospectus Supplement, which are estimated to be C$800,000), are estimated to be approximately C$13,305,247, assuming no exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, the net proceeds to the Corporation from the Offering, after deducting the Underwriters’ Fee (assuming sales of an aggregate amount of 58,300 Units to “President’s List” purchasers under the Offering) and the expenses of the Offering, are estimated to be approximately C$15,420,247.

 

The Corporation intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering: (i) to fund the acquisitions under LOIs, (ii) to continue its strategy of aggressive growth with additional royalty acquisitions over the next 12-24 months, and (iii) for general working capital purposes. The approximate amount of the net proceeds to be allocated to these uses is as follows:

 

Use of Proceeds   Total Funds 
Acquisition of royalties under LOI  C$13,123,000 
General working capital  C$182,247 
Total  C$13,305,247 

 

Vox intends to use the net proceeds of the offering primarily to purchase additional royalties that are currently subject to LOIs with third parties. The LOIs, as is customary, remain subject to certain conditions including due diligence and in some cases, rights of first refusal conditions. There is no certainty that Vox will be able to enter into binding definitive purchase agreements with such royalty holders on terms that are acceptable to Vox or at all. The royalties underlying the LOIs span various stable mining jurisdictions, including Australia, Canada, the United States and Chile. Assuming 14 of the royalties under LOI are purchased the Corporation projects that the underlying royalties are expected to generate between C$1.0 million and C$3.0 million of incremental revenue in 2023. See “The Corporation – Overview”. In the event that the Corporation uses less than C$13,123,000 of the net proceeds to purchase the royalties subject to such LOIs, the Corporation will reallocate those funds to the acquisition of additional royalties over the next 12-24 months.

 

The proposed royalty acquisitions that Vox intends to use the proceeds for are in line with the Corporation’s business strategy of targeting royalties that are (i) primarily on projects operated by senior mining companies, (ii) in production or near production stage, and (iii) in geopolitically stable jurisdictions including North America and Australia. Vox’s current portfolio of royalties covers a diverse commodity base that is more heavily weighted towards precious metals and the Corporation anticipates such strategic allocation to continue.

 

For the financial year ended December 31, 2019, being the financial year prior to the completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Corporation had negative operating cash flow. Operating cash flow may decline in certain circumstances, including circumstances relating to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Corporation’s business and operations, many of which are beyond the Corporation’s control. The Corporation anticipates that it will continue to have negative cash flow from operating activities in future periods until such time as its royalties generate revenues from the underlying projects. Future cash flows from royalties are dependent to a large extent upon the underlying projects achieving production. There is no assurance that sufficient revenues will be generated in the near future, and the Corporation may continue to incur negative operating cash flow. The Corporation may need to deploy a portion of our working capital to fund such negative operating cash flows or seek additional sources of funding. See “Risk Factors”.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Corporation has agreed to sell and the Underwriters have severally, and not jointly nor jointly and severally, agreed to purchase on the Closing Date, all but not less than all of the 5,000,000 Units at the Offering Price, payable in cash to the Corporation against delivery of such Units, subject to compliance with all necessary legal requirements and to the conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement. The Offering Price was determined by arm’s length negotiation between the Corporation and the Co-Lead Underwriters, on behalf of the Underwriters.

 

14

 

Each Unit is comprised of one Unit Share and ½ of one Unit Warrant. Each Unit Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Warrant Share at the Warrant Exercise Price at any time until the Expiry Date, subject to adjustment in certain events. The Unit Warrants shall be created and issued pursuant to the warrant indenture to be entered into by the Corporation and TSX Trust Company (the “Warrant Agent”), as warrant agent, on or around the Closing Date.

 

The Corporation has agreed to pay the Underwriters a fee of C$0.18 per Unit for their services in connection with the distribution of the Unit offered by this Prospectus Supplement (excluding those Units issued to “President’s List” purchasers, for which a fee of C$0.09 per Unit applies). The Corporation has agreed to grant the Underwriters the Over-Allotment Option, exercisable in whole or in part in the sole discretion of the Underwriters at any time until the date which is 30 days following the Closing Date, such Over-Allotment Option being exercisable to acquire up to 750,000 Units at the Offering Price, or any combination of up to an additional 750,000 Unit Shares at a price of C$2.85 per Unit Share and up to an additional 375,000 Unit Warrants at a price of C$0.30 per Unit Warrant. If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, the total price to the public, the Underwriters’ Fee (assuming sales of an aggregate amount of 58,300 Units to “President’s List” purchasers under the Offering) and the net proceeds to the Corporation (before payment of the expenses of the Offering) will be C$17,250,000, C$1,029,753 and C$16,220,247, respectively, before deducting expenses of the Offering. This Prospectus Supplement qualifies the distribution of the Over-Allotment Option and any Additional Securities issued on the exercise thereof.

 

The Corporation will also pay certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Underwriters in connection with the Offering as set forth in the Underwriting Agreement in an amount not to exceed C$150,000 (exclusive of disbursements and taxes). The Underwriting Agreement also provides that the Corporation will indemnify the Underwriters and their directors, officers, employees, shareholders and agents against certain liabilities and expenses or will contribute to payments that the Underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.

 

The Unit Shares and Unit Warrants comprising the Units, and the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Unit Warrants have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account of or benefit of, U.S. Persons or persons in the United States except that the securities may be offered, sold or delivered in the United States in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement and pursuant to an exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. The Underwriting Agreement permits the Underwriters to offer and sell the Units to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons or persons in the United States that are Qualified Institutional Buyers that are also “accredited investors”, as defined in Rule 501(a) under the U.S. Securities Act (“Accredited Investors”), pursuant to Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act and similar exemptions under applicable state securities laws. The Underwriters will offer and sell the Units, Unit Shares and Unit Warrants outside the United States to non-U.S. Persons only in accordance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act. The Unit Shares and Unit Warrants comprising the Units, and the Warrant Shares comprising the Units, and the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Unit Warrants sold in such offers and sales made in accordance with such exemptions under the U.S. Securities Act will be restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act. In addition, until 40 days after the commencement of the Offering, an offer or sale of the Unit Shares and Unit Warrants comprising the Units, and the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Unit Warrants within the United States by a dealer (whether or not participating in the Offering) may violate the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act if such offer or sale is made otherwise than in accordance with an exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act.

 

The Corporation has received conditional approval to list the Shares, including the Unit Shares and the Warrant Shares issuable on exercise of the Unit Warrants, to be distributed pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement on the TSXV. Listing will be subject to the Corporation fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the TSXV.

 

The obligations of the Underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement are several (and not joint nor joint and several) and may be terminated at their discretion on the occurrence of certain stated events. The Underwriters are, however, obligated to take up and pay for all of the Units, other than the Additional Securities issuable under the Over-Allotment Option, if any of the Units are purchased under the Underwriting Agreement. The Underwriters are offering the Units, subject to prior sale, if, as and when issued to and accepted by it, subject to certain conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement, such as receipt by the Underwriters of officers’ certificates and legal opinions.

 

15

 

Subscriptions for Units will be received by the Underwriters subject to rejection or allotment in whole or in part and the right is reserved to close the subscription book at any time without notice. An electronic Deposit ID evidencing the Units is expected to be registered to CDS and will be deposited with CDS at the Closing Date or such other date as may be agreed upon between the Corporation and the Underwriters. A purchaser of Units will receive only a customer confirmation from the registered dealer through which the Units are purchased. It is expected that delivery of the Units will be made against payment therefor on or about the Closing Date, which is expected to be on or about March 25, 2021.

 

The Underwriters propose to offer the Units initially at the public Offering Price on the cover page of this Prospectus Supplement. After the Underwriters have made a reasonable effort to sell all of the Units offered by this Prospectus Supplement at the Offering Price specified herein, the Offering Price may be decreased, and further changed from time to time to an amount not greater than the Offering Price specified herein and the compensation realized by the Underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by the purchasers for the Units is less than the gross proceeds paid by the Underwriters to the Corporation. Any such reduction will not affect the proceeds received by the Corporation.

 

Pursuant to applicable rules and/or policy statements of certain securities regulators, the Underwriters may not, throughout the period of distribution under this Prospectus Supplement, bid for or purchase Units. The foregoing restriction is subject to certain exceptions, provided that the bid or purchase is not engaged in for the purpose of creating actual or apparent active trading in, or raising the price of, the Units. These exceptions include a bid or purchase permitted under the rules of applicable self-regulatory organizations relating to market stabilization and passive market-making activities and a bid or purchase made for or on behalf of a customer where the order was not solicited during the period of distribution. Subject to the foregoing and applicable laws, the Underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions in connection with the Offering intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Units at levels above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

 

The Corporation has agreed in favour of the Underwriters that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Co-Lead Underwriters (not to be unreasonably withheld) on behalf of the Underwriters, directly or indirectly issue, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer, lend or dispose of directly or indirectly, any Units or securities convertible into or having the right to acquire Units or enter into any agreement or arrangement under which the Corporation would acquire or transfer to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Units, or agree to become bound to do so, or disclose to the public any intention to do so, during the period ending 90 days following the Closing Date; provided that, the Corporation may (i) grant options or other securities pursuant to the Corporation’s employee stock option plan or other equity compensation plans, and issue Units upon the exercise of such options or vesting of such securities, (ii) issue equity securities pursuant to the exercise or conversion, as the case may be, of any warrants or other convertible securities of the Corporation currently outstanding, and (iii) issue equity securities in connection with one or more bona fide acquisitions by the Corporation in the normal course of business.

 

The officers and directors of the Corporation will agree in favour of the Underwriters that, during the period ending 90 days after the Closing Date, they will not, except in certain circumstances, offer or sell, agree to offer or sell, or enter into an arrangement to offer or sell any Units or other securities of the Corporation, or securities convertible into, exchangeable for, or otherwise exercisable to acquire any securities of the Corporation without having obtained the prior written consent of the Co-Lead Underwriters, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

 

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES BEING DISTRIBUTED

 

Authorized Capital

 

Vox is authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 Shares. As at March 22, 2021, there were 32,626,196 Shares issued and outstanding.

The Warrants will be governed by the terms of a warrant indenture (the “Warrant Indenture”) to be dated as of the Closing Date between the Corporation and the Warrant Agent. The following provides a summary of certain provisions that are anticipated in the Warrant Indenture, and does not purport to be complete. This discussion is subject, in its entirety, to the detailed provisions of the Warrant Indenture.

A register of holders will be maintained at the principal offices of the Warrant Agent in Toronto, Ontario.

 

The Unit Shares and the Unit Warrants comprising the Units will separate following the closing of the Offering. Each Unit Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, one Warrant Share at an exercise price of C$4.50 on or before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the date that is 36 months from the Closing Date, after which time the Unit Warrants will be void and of no value.

 

The Warrant Indenture will provide for adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Unit Warrants and/or the exercise price per Warrant Share upon the occurrence of certain events, including:

 

(i)the issuance of Warrant Shares or securities exchangeable for, or convertible into, Warrant Shares to all or substantially all of the holders of the Warrant Shares as a stock dividend or other distribution (other than a distribution of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Unit Warrants);

 

(ii)the subdivision, redivision or change of the Warrant Shares into a greater number of shares;

 

(iii)the reduction, combination or consolidation of the Warrant Shares into a lesser number of shares;

 

(iv)the issuance to all or substantially all of the holders of the Warrant Shares of rights, options or warrants under which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase Warrant Shares, or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Warrant Shares, at a price per share to the holder (or at an exchange or conversion price per share) of less than 95% of the “current market price”, as defined in the Warrant Indenture, for the Shares on such record date; and

 

(v)the issuance or distribution to all or substantially all of the holders of the Warrant Shares of shares of any class other than the Warrant Shares, rights, options or warrants to acquire Warrant Shares or securities exchangeable or convertible into Warrant Shares, of evidences of indebtedness, or any property or other assets.

 

17

 

The Warrant Indenture will also provide for adjustments in the class and/or number of securities issuable upon exercise of the Unit Warrants and/or exercise price per security in the event of the following additional events: (a) reclassifications of the Warrant Shares or a capital reorganization of the Corporation (other than as described in clauses (i) or (ii) above), (b) consolidations, amalgamations, arrangements, mergers or other business combination of the Corporation with or into another entity, or (c) or a sale or conveyance of the property and assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, in which case each holder of a Unit Warrant which is thereafter exercised will receive, in lieu of Warrant Shares, the kind and number or amount of other securities or property which such holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such event if such holder had exercised the Warrants prior to the event.

 

The Corporation will also covenant in the Warrant Indenture that, during the period in which the Unit Warrants are exercisable, it will give notice to holders of Unit Warrants of certain stated events, including events that would result in an adjustment to the exercise price for the Unit Warrants or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Unit Warrants, at least 10 business days prior to the record date or effective date, as the case may be, of such events. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issuable upon the exercise of any Unit Warrants, and no cash or other consideration will be paid in lieu of fractional shares. Holders of Unit Warrants will not have any voting or pre-emptive rights or any other rights which a holder of Warrant Shares would have. From time to time, the Corporation and the Warrant Agent, without the consent of the holders of Unit Warrants, may amend or supplement the Warrant Indenture for certain purposes, including curing defects or inconsistencies or making any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of Unit Warrants. Any amendment or supplement to the Warrant Indenture that adversely affects the interests of the holders of the Unit Warrants may only be made by “extraordinary resolution”, which will be defined in the Warrant Indenture as a resolution either (i) passed at a meeting of the holders of Unit Warrants at which there are holders of Unit Warrants present in person or represented by proxy of Unit Warrants representing not less than 66⅔% of the aggregate number of all the then outstanding Warrants represented at the meeting and voted on the poll upon such resolution, or (ii) adopted by an instrument in writing signed by the holders of not less than 66⅔% of the aggregate number of all then outstanding Unit Warrants.

 

The Unit Warrants and the Warrant Shares have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, and the Unit Warrants will not be exercisable by, or for the account or benefit of, a person in the United States or a U.S. Person, nor will certificates representing the Warrant Shares be registered or delivered to an address in the United States, unless an exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws is available and the Corporation has received an opinion of counsel of recognized standing to such effect in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation; provided, however, that a holder who acquired Unit Warrants in the Offering pursuant to Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act for its own account or for the account of another Accredited Investor, who is exercising such Unit Warrants for its own account or for the account of such original beneficial purchaser at a time when both it and such original beneficial purchaser remain Accredited Investors, will not be required to deliver an opinion of counsel or such other evidence in connection with the exercise of Warrants that are a part of those Units.

 

As of the date hereof, there is no market through which the Unit Warrants may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell the Unit Warrants purchased under the terms of this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of the Unit Warrants in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the securities, and the extent of issuer regulation. See “Risk Factors”.

 

The Unit Warrants issued pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option will also be governed by the terms of the Warrant Indenture.

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

The following is, as of the date hereof, a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Tax Act and the Regulations generally applicable to a holder who acquires Unit Shares and Unit Warrants pursuant to the Offering as a beneficial owner and who at all relevant times and for purposes of the Tax Act: (a) is, or is deemed to be, resident in Canada; (b) deals at arm’s length with the Corporation and the Underwriters; (c) is not and will not be affiliated with the Corporation or the Underwriters; (d) acquires and holds such Unit Shares and Unit Warrants and any Warrant Shares acquired on the exercise of Warrants (collectively, referred to as the “Securities”) as capital property; and (e) is not exempt from tax under Part I of the Tax Act (each such owner in this section, a “Holder”).

 

For the purposes of this summary, references to Share include Unit Shares and Warrant Shares unless otherwise indicated.

 

20

 

The Securities generally will be considered capital property to a Holder for purposes of the Tax Act unless the Holder holds such Securities in the course of carrying on a business or has acquired them in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.

 

This summary is not applicable to a Holder: (a) that is a “financial institution” (as defined in the Tax Act for the purposes of the mark-to-market rules); (b) an interest in which is or would constitute a “tax shelter investment” (as defined in the Tax Act); (c) who makes, or has made, an election under section 261 of the Tax Act to determine its “Canadian tax results” (as defined in the Tax Act) in a currency other than Canadian currency; (d) that has entered into or will enter into a “derivative forward agreement” (as defined in the Tax Act) with respect to the Securities; or(e) if the Corporation is at any time a “foreign affiliate” (as defined in the Tax Act) of such Holder. Any such Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to an investment in the Units.

 

This summary assumes that the Corporation will not at any time be resident (or be deemed to be resident) in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act. If the Corporation is (or becomes) resident in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act, the Canadian federal income tax consequences to a Holder will, in some respects, differ from those described herein.

 

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act and the Regulations in force as of the date hereof and counsel’s understanding of the current published administrative policies of the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) publicly available prior to the date hereof. This summary also takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and the Regulations that have been publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Proposed Amendments”) and assumes that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed. No assurance can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed, or at all. Except for the Proposed Amendments, this summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any other changes in law, whether by judicial, governmental or legislative decision or action or changes in the administrative policies of the CRA, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign income tax legislation or considerations, which may differ from the Canadian federal income tax considerations discussed below.

 

This summary is of a general nature only and is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations. This summary is not, and should not be construed as, legal, business or tax advice to any particular Holder and no representation with respect to the tax consequences to any particular Holder is made. Accordingly, all Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the Canadian federal income tax consequences to them of acquiring, holding and disposing of Securities, and any other consequences to them under Canadian federal, provincial, local and foreign tax laws.

 

Currency Conversion

 

For the purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of the Securities (including dividends, adjusted cost base and proceeds of disposition) must be expressed in Canadian dollars using the relevant rate of exchange required under the Tax Act.

 

Allocation of Cost

 

A Holder who acquires Units pursuant to the Offering will be required to allocate the purchase price paid for each Unit on a reasonable basis between the Unit Share and the one-half of one Unit Warrant comprising each Unit in order to determine their respective costs to such Holder for the purposes of the Tax Act.

 

For its purposes, the Corporation has advised counsel that, of the C$3.00 Offering Price for each Unit, it intends to allocate C$2.85 to each Unit Share and C$0.15 to each one-half of one Unit Warrant and believes that such allocation is reasonable. The Corporation’s allocation, however, is not binding on the CRA or on a Holder. Counsel express no opinion with respect to such allocation.

 

The adjusted cost base to a Holder of each Unit Share comprising a part of a Unit acquired pursuant to the Offering will be determined by averaging the cost of such Unit Share with the adjusted cost base to such Holder of all other Shares (if any) held by the Holder as capital property at the time of the acquisition of the Unit Share.

 

21

 

Exercise of Unit Warrants

 

No gain or loss will be realized by a Holder of a Unit Warrant upon the exercise of such Unit Warrant to acquire the Warrant Shares. When a Unit Warrant is exercised, the Holder’s cost of the Warrant Shares acquired thereby will be equal to the adjusted cost base of the Warrant to such Holder, plus the amount paid on the exercise of the Unit Warrant. For the purpose of computing the adjusted cost base to a Holder of a Warrant Share acquired on the exercise of a Unit Warrant, the cost of such Warrant Share must be averaged with the adjusted cost base to such Holder of all other Shares (if any) held by the Holder as capital property at the time the Warrant Share is acquired.

 

Expiry of Unit Warrants

 

In the event of the expiry of an unexercised Unit Warrant, a Holder generally will realize a capital loss equal to the Holder’s adjusted cost base of such Unit Warrant. The tax treatment of capital gains and capital losses is discussed in greater detail below under the heading “Capital Gains and Capital Losses”.

 

Dividends on Shares

 

A Holder will be required to include in computing its income for a taxation year the amount of any dividends received in respect of the Shares, including amounts withheld for foreign withholding tax, if any. For individuals (including a trust), such dividends will not be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules under the Tax Act normally applicable to taxable dividends received by an individual from a taxable Canadian corporation. A Holder that is a corporation will generally not be entitled to deduct the amount of such dividends in computing its taxable income.

 

Subject to the detailed rules in the Tax Act, a Holder may be entitled to a foreign tax credit or deduction for any foreign withholding tax paid with respect to dividends received by the Holder on the Shares. Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the availability of a foreign tax credit or deduction having regard to their own particular circumstances.

 

Dispositions of Securities

 

A Holder that disposes or is deemed to dispose of a Share or a Unit Warrant (other than on the exercise of the Warrant) in a taxation year will realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition of the Share or the Unit Warrant exceeds (or is exceeded by) the aggregate of the Holder’s adjusted cost base of such Share or such Unit Warrant immediately before the disposition and any reasonable costs of disposition. The tax treatment of capital gains and capital losses is discussed in greater detail below under the subheading “Capital Gains and Capital Losses”.

 

Capital Gains and Capital Losses

 

Generally, a Holder will be required to include in computing income for a taxation year one-half of the amount of any capital gain (a “taxable capital gain”) realized in that year. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act, a Holder must deduct one half of the amount of any capital loss (an “allowable capital loss”) realized in a taxation year from taxable capital gains realized by the Holder in that taxation year. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains for a taxation year may be carried back to any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward to any subsequent taxation year and deducted against net taxable capital gains realized in such years, subject to the detailed rules contained in the Tax Act.

 

A capital gain realized by a Holder who is an individual (including certain trusts) may give rise to liability for alternative minimum tax under the Tax Act.

 

22

 

Additional Refundable Tax on Canadian-Controlled Private Corporations

 

A Holder that is throughout its taxation year a “Canadian-controlled private corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act) may be required to pay an additional tax (refundable in certain circumstances) on certain investment income, which includes taxable capital gains and dividends.

 

Foreign Property Information Reporting

 

Generally, a Holder that is a “specified Canadian entity” (as defined in the Tax Act) for a taxation year or a fiscal period and whose total “cost amount” of “specified foreign property” (as such terms are defined in the Tax Act), including the Securities, at any time in the year or fiscal period exceeds C$100,000 will be required to file an information return with the CRA for the year or period disclosing prescribed information. Subject to certain exceptions, a Holder generally will be a specified Canadian entity. The Securities will be “specified foreign property” of a Holder for these purposes. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding compliance with these reporting requirements.

 

Offshore Investment Fund Property Rules

 

The Tax Act contains rules which, in certain circumstances, may require a Holder to include an amount in income in each taxation year in respect of the acquisition and holding of Securities if (1) the value of such securities may reasonably be considered to be derived, directly or indirectly, primarily from certain portfolio investments described in paragraph 94.1(1)(b) of the Tax Act and (2) it may reasonably be concluded, having regard to all the circumstances, that one of the main reasons for the Holder acquiring or holding the Securities was to derive a benefit from portfolio investments in such a manner that the taxes, if any, on the income, profits and gains from such portfolio investments for any particular year are significantly less than the tax that would have been applicable under Part I of the Tax Act if the income, profits and gains had been earned directly by the Holder.

 

These rules are complex and their application and consequences depend, to a large extent, on the reasons for a Holder acquiring the Units or holding the Securities.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

Prospective purchasers of Units should carefully consider the risk factors described in this Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus, the risk factors related to the Corporation’s business and operations set out in the Filing Statement and those described in all documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus (including subsequently filed documents incorporated by reference). An investment in the Securities is subject to various risks including those risks inherent to the industries in which Vox operates. If any of the events contemplated by these risk factors occurs, Vox’s revenues or financial condition could be materially harmed, which could adversely affect the value of the Securities. In addition to the below, discussions of certain risks affecting the Corporation in connection with its business are provided in the Corporation’s disclosure documents filed with the various securities regulatory authorities which are incorporated by reference in this Prospectus Supplement. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also materially and adversely affect us. If any of the events identified in these risks and uncertainties were to actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially harmed.

 

New Diseases and Epidemics

 

The current COVID-19 global health pandemic is significantly impacting the global economy and commodity and financial markets. The impact of the fast-spreading COVID-19 pandemic on the Corporation remains unpredictable as of the date of this Prospectus Supplement. To date, the outbreak has caused extreme volatility in financial markets, a slowdown in economic activity, extreme volatility in commodity prices (including gold) and has raised the prospect of an extended global recession. The international response to COVID-19 has led to significant restrictions on travel, temporary business closures, operating, supply chain and project development delays and disruptions, quarantines and a general reduction in consumer activity, globally. In addition, as efforts are undertaken to slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the operation and development of mining projects are and may be further impacted. To date, a number of mining projects have been suspended or activities on such mining projects have been reduced as cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed, for precautionary purposes or as governments have declared states of emergency, imposed regulations or taken other actions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. While these measures are expected to be temporary, the duration of the business disruptions internationally and related financial impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, and include the duration, severity and scope of the outbreak and the actions taken by governments and other regulators in each jurisdiction to contain or treat the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

23

 

If the operation or development of one or more of the properties in which the Corporation holds a royalty, stream or other interest and from which it will receive or expects to receive significant revenue is suspended or the development is delayed for precautionary purposes or as governments declare states of emergency, impose regulations or other actions are taken in an effort to combat the spread of COVID-19, such events may have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s future profitability, results of operations, ability to raise funding, financial condition and on the trading price of the Corporation’s securities, and such material adverse effects may be experienced for a prolonged period of time.

 

Other than Bass placing the Graphmada project on care and maintenance due to COVID-19, to the knowledge of the Corporation as at the date hereof, none of the Corporation’s royalty and streaming assets have been materially and adversely impacted by COVID-19.

 

Risks Associated with the Offering

 

There can be no assurance that an active market for the Securities will be sustained after the Offering. Securities of small- and mid-cap issuers have experienced substantial volatility in the past, often based on factors unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of the issuers involved. These factors include macroeconomic developments in North America and globally, and market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries. The price of the securities of the Corporation is also likely to be significantly affected by short-term changes in commodity prices, other precious metal prices, currency exchange fluctuation, the political environment in the countries where the Corporation’s properties are located, in its financial condition or results of operations as reflected in its quarterly financial statements. Other factors unrelated to the performance of the Corporation may have an effect on the price of the securities of the Corporation including the following: the extent of analytical coverage available to investors concerning the business of the Corporation may be limited if investment banks with research capabilities do not follow the Corporation’s securities; lessening in trading volume and general market interest in the Corporation’s securities may affect the investor’s ability to trade significant numbers of securities of the Corporation; the size of the Corporation’s public float may limit the ability of some institutions to invest in the Corporation’s securities; and a substantial decline in the price of the securities of the Corporation that persists for a significant period of time could cause the Corporation’s securities, to be delisted from any exchange on which they are listed at that time, further reducing market liquidity. If an active market for the securities of the Corporation does not continue, the liquidity of an investor’s investment may be limited and the price of the securities of the Corporation may decline below the Offering Price. If such a market does not develop, investors may lose their entire investment in the Securities.

 

No Market for Warrants

 

There is currently no market through which the Unit Warrants may be sold and the Unit Warrants will not be listed on the TSXV. The purchasers may not be able to resell the Unit Warrants purchased under this Prospectus Supplement. This may affect the pricing of the Unit Warrants in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Warrants and the extent of issuer regulation.

 

24

 

Future Sales or Issuances of Debt or Equity Securities Could Result in Dilution

 

The Corporation may sell additional equity securities (including through the sale of securities convertible into Shares) and may issue additional debt securities to finance its operations, exploration, development, acquisitions or other projects. The Corporation is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Shares. The Corporation cannot predict the size of future sales and issuances of debt or equity securities or the effect, if any, that future sales and issuances of debt or equity securities will have on the market price of the Securities. Sales or issuances of a substantial number of equity securities, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Securities. With any additional sale or issuance of equity securities, investors will suffer dilution of their voting power and may experience dilution in the Corporation’s earnings per share.

 

Discretion in the Use of Proceeds

 

The Corporation currently intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering as described under “Use of Proceeds”. However, the Corporation retains broad discretion over the actual use of the net proceeds from the Offering and may elect to allocate net proceeds differently from that described under “Use of Proceeds” if it is determined to be in the Corporation’s best interests to do so. Investors may not agree with how the Corporation allocates or spends the proceeds from the Offering. The Corporation may pursue acquisitions, collaborations or other opportunities that do not result in an increase in the market value of the Corporation’s securities, including the market value of the Securities, and that may increase the Corporation’s losses.

 

Negative Operating Cash Flow

 

The Corporation is an early-stage, venture issuer and has generated limited cash flow from operations. The Corporation is devoting significant resources to the development of its assets, however there can be no assurance that it will generate positive cash flow from operations in the future. The Corporation currently has negative cash flow from operating activities and expects to continue to incur negative operating cash flow and losses until additional revenue is received from its producing royalty assets or from royalty assets in production that may be acquired in the future.

 

Royalties Under LOI may not be Acquired

 

The Corporation has entered into 10 LOIs with third parties which provide the Corporation the opportunity to acquire between 20 and 30 royalties. These LOIs remain subject to a number of standard conditions including completion of satisfactory due diligence and, in some cases, confirmation that certain rights of first refusal will not be exercised. There is no guarantee that any proposed acquisitions will be completed or be successful. Nor is there any guarantee that the royalty assets to be acquired will generate the revenues projected by the Corporation if the acquisitions are completed. The Corporation’s future expected revenue could be negatively impacted in the event that a substantial number of the royalties under LOI are not acquired. Furthermore, if acquired royalties fail to generate the expected revenue, this could impact the Corporation’s financial condition.

 

LEGAL MATTERS

 

Certain legal matters relating to the Offering will be passed upon by McCarthy Tétrault LLP with respect to Canadian legal matters, on behalf of the Corporation, and by Borden Ladner Gervais LLP, on behalf of the Underwriters. The aggregate number of securities of the Corporation held on the date of the opinions, and received and to be received after such date, if any, by the partners and associates of McCarthy Tétrault LLP who participated in, or who were in a position to directly influence any statement made in this Prospectus Supplement, as a group, and the partners and associates of Borden Ladner Gervais LLP, as a group, each represents less than 1% of the outstanding securities of the Corporation as at the date hereof.

PURCHASERS’ STATUTORY RIGHTS

 

The following is a description of a purchaser’s statutory rights in respect of a purchase of the Units under this Prospectus Supplement. Securities legislation in certain of the provinces of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities. This right may be exercised within two business days after receipt or deemed receipt of a prospectus and any amendment. In several of the provinces of Canada, the securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price or damages if the prospectus and any amendment contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the purchaser, provided that the remedies for rescission, revision of the price or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.

 

In an offering of Unit Warrants, investors are cautioned that the statutory right of action for damages for a misrepresentation contained in this Prospectus Supplement is limited, in certain provincial securities legislation, to the price at which the Unit Warrant is offered to the public under the Offering. This means that, under the securities legislation of certain provinces, if the purchaser pays additional amounts upon exercise of the security, those amounts may not be recoverable under the statutory right of action for damages that applies in those provinces. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province for the particulars of this right of action for damages or consult with a legal advisor.
