May 31, 2021 - TheNewswire - Calgary, Alberta - Sonoro Energy Ltd. (“Sonoro” or the “Company”) (TSXV:SNV) (OTC:SNVFF) announces that it has completed the previously announced non-brokered private placement of common share/warrant unit financing to support ongoing activities in Indonesia. Sonoro will issue 7,000,000 units for total proceeds of $350,000 Each unit consists of one $0.05 common share (a “Common Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”) of the Company, where each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share within two years at a price of $0.10 per Common Share.
Sonoro will use the proceeds of the funding for third party technical studies to improve the geological and reservoir model of the Pematang reservoirs within the Selat Panjang project area in Sumatra, Indonesia and general working capital purpose. Certain subscriptions will also be used to extinguish existing debt obligations on the balance sheet. Management and Insiders will be subscribing for a large portion of the private placement.
Mr. David Kirk, the CEO of Sonoro commented that “this funding enables the company to complete important technical studies, continue to fulfill our commitments and to progress commercial negotiations with our Joint Venture Partner. It is noted that the Resource Report commissioned with RISC Advisory Pty Limited, had been delayed as we reviewed the inputs to the study and engaged with RISC to address any deficiencies in data provided by the company. That process is ongoing and is expected to be completed shortly. Discussions with our Joint Venture Partner have been challenging in an environment of restricted contacts due to Covid 19. Despite that, we continue to explore multiple options to resolve outstanding issues and have every reason to believe in a successful outcome”.
As part of this non-brokered financing, warrants are subject to an acceleration clause. This clause states that if, four months and one day after the warrants are issued, the closing price of the common shares of the Corporation, on the principal market on which such shares trade, is equal to, or exceeds, C$0.20 for 10 consecutive trading days (with the 10th such trading date hereafter referred to as the “Eligible Acceleration Date”), the warrant expiry date shall accelerate to a date 20 calendar days after issuance of a press release by the Corporation announcing the reduced warrant term—provided, no more than five business days following the Eligible Acceleration Date, that, the press release is issued; and notices are sent to all warrant holders.
The Offering is being made pursuant to certain Canadian prospectus exemptions, including the “existing securityholder” exemption and “purchasers advised by investment dealers” exemption, where applicable. Both the “existing securityholder” and “purchasers advised by investment dealers” exemptions are collectively referred to as the “Existing Securityholder and Retail Investor Exemptions”.
