What is the timeline for closing the private placement and any associated lockβup or redemption provisions?
Timeline & Closing Mechanics
Rockyβ―Shoreβs announcement indicates a nonβbrokered private placement of up to C$1.5β―million at C$0.05 per unit/FT share. In similar Canadian juniorβminer placements, the closing window is usually 30β―calendar days from the date of the filing of the placementβoffer statement with the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) and the exchange. Assuming the filing occurs within the next few business days, we can expect the placement to be closed by midβSeptemberβ―2025 (ββ―30β―days after the Augβ―11 announcement).
Lockβup / Redemption Provisions
The press release does not spell out specific lockβup terms, but standard practice for a nonβbrokered placement of flowβthrough shares includes:
- Investor lockβup: Most investors are required to hold the newly issued units/FT shares for 90β―days after issuance, preventing immediate resale and protecting the capitalβraising intent.
- Redemption rights: The company typically retains the right to **redeem the placement securities on a
