Onyx Gold Corp. Announces Warrant Price Amendment
Vancouver, British Columbia – Onyx Gold Corp. (TSXV: ONYX) (OTCQX: ONXGF) (“Onyx Gold” or the “Company”), an exploration-stage gold mining company, has announced its intention to amend the exercise price of certain warrants issued in a private placement that closed on July 6, 2023. The Company will be adjusting the price of 7,143,999 common share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”).
Background
Onyx Gold completed a private placement offering of units on July 6, 2023. Each unit consisted of one common share and one Warrant. The Warrants were issued at a price of $0.75 per Warrant and carried a term of 24 months from the date of issuance. The proceeds from this financing were intended to be used for exploration and development activities, as well as for general working capital purposes.
Price Amendment
The Company has now announced that it intends to amend the exercise price of the Warrants. The new exercise price will be determined based on the market price of the Company’s common shares at the time the amending agreement is filed with the TSX Venture Exchange. This price will not be less than the original exercise price of $0.75 per Warrant.
Impact on Onyx Gold Shareholders
The price amendment of the Warrants may have an impact on Onyx Gold shareholders in a few ways:
- Dilution: The price amendment may result in increased dilution for existing shareholders if the new exercise price is lower than the current market price. This could potentially weaken the value of their holdings.
- Increased liquidity: On the other hand, a lower exercise price may make it more attractive for warrant holders to exercise their Warrants, which could lead to increased trading volume and liquidity in the Company’s shares.
- Potential for share price appreciation: If the market price of Onyx Gold’s common shares remains low or continues to decline, the new lower exercise price may incentivize warrant holders to exercise their Warrants, potentially driving up demand for the shares and leading to share price appreciation.
Impact on the World
The impact of Onyx Gold’s warrant price amendment on the world at large is likely to be minimal:
- Minor market impact: Onyx Gold’s market capitalization is relatively small, so the potential impact on the broader market is likely to be negligible.
- No direct financial impact: The price amendment itself does not result in any direct financial gain or loss for anyone outside of the Company and its shareholders.
Conclusion
Onyx Gold Corp.’s announcement of a warrant price amendment may have implications for both the Company and its shareholders. While the potential for increased dilution is a concern, the potential for increased liquidity and potential share price appreciation could be beneficial. The impact on the world at large is expected to be minimal.
