Toronto, Canada, June 15, 2017 – Jaguar Mining Inc. (“Jaguar” or the “Company”) (TSX:JAG) today announced that has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement financing (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the Offering, the Company has issued 17,624,728 common shares (the “Shares”) at a price of C$0.44 per share for gross proceeds of approximately US$5.9 million. The Shares are subject to a four-month hold period.
Net proceeds from the sale of the Shares will be used for continuing capital investment programs and working capital needs at the Company’s Brazilian operations located in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
The Offering constitutes a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”) as certain insiders of the Company subscribed for Shares. The Company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the participation in the Offering by insiders does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the closing of the Offering as the details of the aforementioned insiders’ participation were not settled until shortly prior to the closing of the Offering, and the Company wished to close the Offering on an expedited basis.
