Tempus Completes Private Placement and Australian Entitlement Offer Raising A$4.9M

PERTH, AUSTRALIA / ACCESSWIRE / September 16, 2022 / Tempus Resources Ltd ("Tempus" or the "Company") (ASX:TMR)(TSXV:TMRR)(OTCQB:TMRFF) is pleased to announce it has completed the previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") and pro- rata non-renounceable entitlement offer (the "Entitlement Offer") raising total gross proceeds of approximately A$4.9 million.

The Private Placement

On August 4, 2022, the Company closed the Private Placement raising gross proceeds of approximately A$1.02 million‎ through the issuance of 20,338,885 fully paid ‎ordinary shares in the Company (the "Placement Shares") at a price of A$0.05 per Placement Share, together with one new free attaching option for every Placement Share subscribed for and issued (the "Placement Options").

The Placement Shares have been issued under the Company's existing Private Placement capacity under Australian Securities Exchange (the "ASX") Listing Rules 7.1. The Placement Shares rank equally with existing fully paid ordinary shares of the Company.

The Placement Options are exercisable by the holder thereof to acquire one (1) fully paid ordinary share of the Company at price of A$0.075 on or before the date that is three (3) years from their date of issue. The Placement Options are intended to be listed on the ASX and commence trading on 30 September 2022 subject to the Company obtaining shareholder approval of their issue at its upcoming general meeting.

The Entitlement Offer

On August 29, 2022, the Company closed its pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement offer ("Entitlement Offer") to Australian and New Zealand domiciled shareholders of 1 fully paid ordinary share ("Share") for every 2 Shares held at an issue price of A$0.05 per Share, together with 1 free attaching option for every new Share issued ("Entitlement Option") raising approximately A$3.9 million. The Entitlement Options entitle the holder to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of A$0.075 for a period of 36 months from the date of issue.

The Entitlement Offer was strongly supported by eligible shareholders who applied for 38,148,166 shares raising gross proceeds of A$1,907,408. Eligible shareholders who applied for their full entitlement under the Entitlement Offer were also able to apply for new shares in excess of their entitlement, through the shortfall offer ("Shortfall Offer"), which closed on September 6, 2022. Subscribers to the Shortfall Offer applied for 39,817,561 new shares raising gross proceeds of A$1,990,878.

The Entitlement Options are exercisable by the holder thereof to acquire a fully paid ordinary share of the Company at price of A$0.075 on or before the date that is three (3) years from their date of issue.

The Entitlement Shares have been issued pursuant to a disclosure document issued under section 713 ‎of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).‎ The pricing and terms of the Entitlement Offer has been set so that the eligible shareholders can obtain new shares at the same price and terms as subscribers under the Private Placement.

The Entitlement Options commended trading on the ASX on 5 September under the ticker code "TMRO".

The Entitlement Offer was partially underwritten by Mr. Alexander Molyneux, a director of the Company ("Underwriter"), for the amount of A$125,000. Accordingly, the Underwriter was issued 2,500,000 new Shares (with 2,500,000 Entitlement Options) of the 39,817,561 Shares (and resulting Entitlement Options) under the shortfall under the Entitlement Offer in accordance with the underwriting arrangement summarised in section 6.5 of the Company's prospectus dated 5 August 2022. Non-Executive Director Melanie Ross has also taken up her entitlements under the Entitlement Offer.

Insiders of the Company were issued a total of 2,680,000 Shares and 2,680,000 ‎Entitlement Options. Melanie Ross, a director of the Company, was issued 180,000 ‎Shares and 180,000 Entitlement Options under the Entitlement Offer and Alexander ‎Molyneux, a director of the Company, was issued 2,500,000 Shares and ‎‎2,500,000 Entitlement Options in accordance with the underwriting arrangement. Such participation is considered a ‎‎"related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection ‎of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The related party ‎participation is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to the ‎exemptions contained in Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair ‎market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involved the interested parties, exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

Peloton Capital Pty Ltd and Aesir Capital Pty Ltd acted as joint lead managers (the "Joint Lead Managers") for the Private Placement and Entitlement Offer. The Company has paid total cash advisory / finders fees of A$147,003 plus 16,000,000 compensation options (which are subject to disinterested shareholder approval as well as TSX Venture Exchange approval) which entitle the holders thereof to acquire a fully paid ‎ordinary share at a price of A$0.075 per fully paid ‎ordinary share for a period of three (3) years from the date of issuance. The Company intends to apply for the quotation of the compensation options on the ASX.

Use of Proceeds

As set out in the Entitlement Issue Prospectus dated August 5, 2022, the Company intends to ‎use the proceeds from the Private Placement and the Entitlement Offer towards exploration activities at ‎the Company's projects in Canada and Ecuador as well as for general working capital ‎purposes.‎
