Onyx Gold Announces Proposed Warrant Amendments and Corporate Updates
Vancouver, BC – January 29th, 2025 – Onyx Gold Corp. (“Onyx Gold” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: ONYX, OTCQX: ONXGF) announces that it intends to amend the exercise price of 7,143,999 common share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) that were issued pursuant to a private placement of units that closed on July 6, 2023. Each Warrant is currently exercisable to purchase one common share of the Company (a “Share”) at a price of $0.75 for 24 months from the date of issuance.
Following the proposed amendments, each Warrant will have an exercise price of $0.30 and will be subject to an accelerated expiry provision such that, if the closing share price on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) exceeds $0.375 for any 10 consecutive trading days during the unexpired term of the Warrants, the exercise date will be accelerated to 30 calendar days (the “Acceleration Clause”). The activation of the Acceleration Clause will be announced by press release. All other terms and conditions of the Warrants remain the same. The amended Warrant terms remain subject to TSX-V acceptance.
Corporate Update
The Company also announces that, pursuant to the Company’s omnibus incentive plan, the Company has issued an aggregate of 1,375,000 restricted share units (“RSUs”) to certain directors and officers of the Company. Each RSU entitles the holder to acquire one Share of the Company on vesting. All of the above RSUs are subject to the following vesting schedule: one-third vesting 12 months after the grant date; one-third vesting 24 months after the grant date; and one-third vesting 36 months after the grant date.
Further, the Company announces that Nicole Hoeller has stepped down from her role as VP of Corporate Communications to pursue her new business venture, NIKLI Communications Inc. (“Nikli”). The Company has entered into an agreement with Nikli whereby Ms. Hoeller will continue providing corporate communication services to the Company as an independent contractor.
