VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Anfield Energy Inc. (TSX.V: AEC; OTCQB: ANLDF; FRANKFURT: 0AD) (“Anfield” or the “Company”) announces that the Company has entered into an amending agreement (the “Amending Agreement”) with Extract Advisors LLC (“Extract”) for the extension of an additional US$6,000,000 increase to the existing credit facility dated September 26, 2023 (the “Credit Facility”), in connection with the indicative term sheet as previously announced by the Company on January 14, 2025.
The Credit Facility will continue to have a maturity date of September 26, 2028 (the “Maturity Date”). The Credit Facility will continue to bear a coupon of the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus 5 per cent per annum, payable semi-annually. Anfield, with written notice, may elect to capitalize the interest payable on the facility semi-annually, in arrears, at a rate of SOFR plus 7 per cent.
In connection with the Amending Agreement, Anfield will issue 59,925,000 share purchase warrants to Extract (the “Facility Warrants”), with each such Facility Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company at an exercise price of C$0.15 per share for a period ending on the Maturity Date. For so long as the Credit Facility remains outstanding, all proceeds from the exercise of the Facility Warrants by the lender shall be used to repay the principal amount of the Credit Facility. Extract has agreed, subject to the approval of the TSXV, not to exercise such number of its warrants held to the extent that, upon exercise thereof, it would cause Extract or its affiliates to hold in excess of 20% of the outstanding voting securities of Anfield.
The Amending Agreement and the issuance of the Facility Warrants remain subject to the final acceptance of the TSXV.
Funds will be used to: 1) advance the reactivation plan for the Shootaring Canyon Mill; 2) advance the plan of operations for the Velvet-Wood mine; 3) potentially seek out mine permits for certain DOE leases; 4) add key personnel to facilitate the advancement of both mines and mill; and 5) general corporate purposes.
The Company also announces that IsoEnergy Ltd.’s C$6 million promissory note and indemnity for up to US$3 million in principal, as discussed in the Company’s press release dated January 14, 2025, have been repaid and released.
Extract and its joint actor, Extract Capital Master Fund Ltd. (collectively, the “Insiders”), are insiders of the Company. The transactions contemplated by the Amending Agreement, including the issuance of the Facility Warrants, constitute a “related party transaction” under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The board of directors of the Company have determined that the transactions contemplated by the Amending Agreement, including the issuance of the Facility Warrants, will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements in MI 61-101 in reliance on the exemptions set forth in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 and, in connection therewith, the directors have determined that at the time the Amending Agreement was agreed to, neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
