On May 12, 2023, TRX Gold Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the “Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Lead Agent”) and Roth Capital Partners, LLC pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through the Lead Agent, common shares without par value (the “Shares”) having an aggregate offering price of up to $10,000,000. Under the Agreement, the Lead Agent may sell Shares by any method deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 (a) (4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), including sales made directly on or through NYSE American, the existing trading market for our common shares in the United States, sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange or otherwise, directly to the sales the Lead Agent as principal, in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, and/or in any other method permitted by law. No common shares in the offering will be sold on the Toronto Stock Exchange or any other trading market in Canada.

 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering for working capital and for other general corporate purposes.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Lead Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations and the rules of the NYSE American, to sell the Shares from time to time based upon the Company’s instructions, including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions the Company may impose.

 

The Company will pay the Lead Agent a commission of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of Shares. The Company has also agreed to reimburse the Lead Agent for certain specified expenses, including the fees and disbursements of Lead Agent’s legal counsel in an amount not to exceed $50,000. The Company shall also reimburse the Lead Agent for Lead Agent’s counsel’s fees in connection with each due diligence update session up to a maximum of $2,500 per update, plus any incidental expense incurred by the Lead Agent in connection therewith.

 

The foregoing description of the terms of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The opinion of Diges Professional Corporation, carrying on business as REVlaw, Toronto, Canada regarding the validity of the Shares that will be issued pursuant to the Agreement is also filed herewith as Exhibit 5.1.

 

The Shares will be issued pursuant to the Company’s previously filed and effective Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-25526) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This Report on Form 6-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy Shares, nor shall there be any sale of the Shares in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
