Under the terms of the investment agreement, Agnico is set to purchase 4.7 million shares of Collective Mining, at a price of $11.00 per share. The pricing terms represents a slight discount to the closing price of Collective Mining on Thursday, which was $11.16 on the TSX.
At the same time, Agnico is set to exercise 2.3 million common share purchase warrants it currently holds, which contain an exercise price of $5.01 per share. In total, the transactions amount to gross proceeds of $63.4 million, which will increase Agnico’s ownership in Collective Mining to 14.99%.
