Vancouver, British Columbia – April 12, 2012 – Batero Gold Corp. (“the Company”) (TSX-V: BAT, BELDF.PK) wishes to announce that it has priced its previously announced special warrant financing by a syndicate of agents co-led by Raymond James Ltd. and Cormark Securities Inc. (collectively the "Agents"), to be completed on a best efforts agency basis.
The Company will issue up to 7,700,000 special warrants (the "Special Warrants"), at a price of C$0.65 per Special Warrant (the “Issue Price”) for gross proceeds to the Company of up to C$5,005,000 (the “Offering”). The Company has also granted the Agents an option, exercisable by giving notice to the Company at any time for up to 30 days following the closing date, to sell 2,500,000 additional Special Warrants, at the Issue Price, to cover over-allotments, if any.
Each Special Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire, upon exercise and for no additional consideration, one unit (a “Unit”), consisting of one common share (“Common Share”) in the capital of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to acquire an additional Common Share at C$0.90 during the period ending 24 months following the closing of the Offering.
The Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, within 60 days after the closing of the Offering (the “Qualification Deadline”), a receipt for a final short form prospectus qualifying the distribution of the Units upon exercise of the Special Warrants (the “Prospectus Qualification”). If the Prospectus Qualification does not occur before the Qualification Deadline, each holder shall have the right to exercise the Special Warrants, without payment of additional consideration, and receive 1.1 Units per Special Warrant.
In consideration for their services, the Agents will receive a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, and compensation options entitling the Agents to purchase that number of common share purchase warrants equal to 5.0% of the aggregate number of Special Warrants issued pursuant to the Offering at the Issue Price.
All of the other terms of the Offering remain as described in the Company’s news release issued on April 11, 2012. The Offering is scheduled to close on or about April 26, 2012 and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and other securities regulatory authorities as applicable.
