Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the Company will be entitled, at its discretion from time-to-time during the term of the Sales Agreement, to sell, through the Lead Agents, such number of common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") that would result in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to US$70,000,000 (the "Offering" or "ATM Facility"). Sales of the Common Shares, if any, will be made in "at-the-market distributions", as defined in National Instrument 44-102 – Shelf Distributions, directly on the TSXV, the NYSE American ("NYSE American") or on any other existing trading market in Canada or the United States or as otherwise agreed between the Lead Agents and the Company.
The ATM Facility can be in effect until the aggregate gross sales proceeds of common shares sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement equals US$70,000,000, unless terminated prior to such date by enCore or otherwise in accordance with the Sales Agreement. Net proceeds from the ATM Facility, if any, will be used for corporate purposes as described in the Prospectus Supplement referenced below.
William M. Sheriff, enCore's Executive Chairman stated: "The At-The-Market (ATM) Offering provides enCore access to funds with greater flexibility and lower costs than more traditional financings. We expect to use the ATM to fund items including possible future acquisitions and to accelerate the exploration and development of our advanced mineral properties. Any shares issued under the ATM will be fully disclosed in our financial statements."
