Hochschild Mining PLC on Wednesday said Canadian subsidiary Tiernan Gold Corp has closed a private placement, advancing plans for a reverse takeover and listing of the gold business.
Tiernan raised gross proceeds of C$58.4 million, about £31.8 million, through the brokered sale of 11.7 million subscription receipts at C$5.00 each.
The receipts will convert into one Tiernan common share and half a warrant upon release of funds from escrow. Each full warrant will allow holders to buy a Tiernan share at C$6.50 for 24 months after closing.
The offering includes C$40.0 million from a treasury issuance and C$18.4 million from a secondary sale. Hochschild said it expects to receive C$16.5 million from the secondary component.
Following completion of the reverse takeover and financing, Hochschild will retain around a 70% stake in Tiernan, or 62% on a fully diluted basis.
Shares in Hochschild Mining were up 3.5% at 372.80 pence in London on Wednesday morning.
