On November 8, 2023, Doyon, Limited acquired 5,416,667 common shares (each, a “Common Share”) and 5,416,667 Common Share purchase warrants (each, a “Warrant”) of Tectonic Metals Inc. (the “Company”) as a result of its participation in Tectonic’s early exercise warrant incentive program (the “Early Exercise Program”), from the exercise of 5,416,667 previously issued Common Share purchase warrants at a price of $0.10 per warrant. Each warrant exercised resulted in the issuance of one Common Share and one Warrant, with each Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Common Share in the capital of the Company (a “Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.13 per Warrant Share for a period of two years.
Following the acquisition of the Common Shares and Warrants, Doyon beneficially owns 32,640,600 Common Shares and 5,416,667 Warrants (collectively, the “Securities”), representing approximately 9.87% of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company on a non-diluted basis and 8.85% of the issued and outstanding securities of the Company on a partially diluted basis, assuming exercise of the 5,416,667 Warrants held by Doyon following its acquisition of the Securities.
The Securities were acquired from treasury and Doyon acquired them for investment purposes. Doyon has a long-term view of the investment and may acquire additional securities either on the open market or through private acquisitions or sell the securities either on the open market or through private dispositions in the future depending on market conditions, reformulation of plans and/or other relevant factors.
As of the closing of the acquisition of the Securities, Doyon’s holdings in the capital of the Company no longer exceed 10% of the outstanding Common Shares of the Company, on both a non-diluted and partially-diluted basis. As a result, Doyon is no longer an insider of the Company. Doyon reviews its holdings from time to time and may increase or decrease its position as future circumstances may dictate.
