As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 16, 2025, Perpetua Resources Corp. (the “Company”) entered into an amended and restated underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with National Bank Financial Inc. and BMO Capital Markets Corp., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), dated effective as of June 12, 2025, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of 24,622,000 of its common shares, no par value (the “Shares”) to the Underwriters on a “bought deal” underwritten basis (the “Offering”) at a price to the public of $13.20 per Share (the “Offering Price”). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also granted the Underwriters an option to purchase, for a period of 30 days from the closing of the Offering, up to an additional 3,693,300 Shares (the “Option Shares”).
Subsequently, on July 10, 2025, the Underwriters exercised their option in full, and the closing of the issuance and sale of the Option Shares occurred on July 14, 2025. The issuance by the Company of the Option Shares at a price of $13.20 per share resulted in additional gross proceeds of approximately $49 million, bringing the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering and concurrent $100 million private placement of 7,575,757 common shares to Paulson & Co.
