Each Unit consists of one common share of Source Rock (each a "Common Share" and collectively, the "Common Shares") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant a "Warrant" and collectively, the "Warrants"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share of Source Rock at an exercise price of $1.25 until March 1, 2024.
Source Rock's Common Shares and the Warrants are expected to commence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") on March 2, 2022 under the symbols "SRR" and "SRR.WT", respectively.
Brad Docherty, Chairman, President & CEO of Source Rock, said: "We are excited for Source Rock to commence trading on the TSX Venture Exchange as the only publicly listed junior oil and gas royalty company in Canada. We would like to thank our existing shareholders for their support during our 9 years as a private company and we greatly appreciate the interest of new shareholders in the Offering. We believe that now is an opportune time for Source Rock, as a niche consolidator of oil and gas royalties in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, to take our proven balanced growth and yield business model to the TSX Venture Exchange. The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to expand our portfolio of light oil focused royalties. In doing so, we look forward to building on our working relationships with oil and gas producers seeking non-dilutive capital for drilling & acquisitions and royalty owners interested in liquidity."
The Offering was completed through a syndicate of underwriters co-led by PI Financial Corp. (as Sole Bookrunner) and Acumen Capital Finance Partners Limited, together with Haywood Securities Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp. and ATB Capital Markets Inc. (collectively, the "Underwriters").
