Super Copper Closes Non-Brokered Private Placement with Apeiron Investment Group
VANCOUVER, BC, May 30, 2025 /CNW/ - SUPER COPPER CORP. (CSE: CUPR) (OTCQB: CUPPF) (FSE: N60) (" Super Copper" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement of units (the " Units"), raising gross proceeds of $1,000,000 (the "Offering"). Under the Offering, the Company issued 4,000,000 Units at a price of $0.25 per Unit to Apeiron Investment Group Limited (" Apeiron"), a leading global investment firm founded by entrepreneur and investor Christian Angermayer. Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (a " Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire an additional common share at a price of $0.30 per common share until May 29, 2028. In exchange for Apeiron providing advisory services to the Company, the Company agreed to grant Apeiron an aggregate of 4,000,000 restricted share units (" RSUs") under its equity incentive plan (the " Plan"), of which 3,000,000 RSUs were granted on closing of the Offering and 1,000,000 RSUs will be granted as soon as permitted under the terms of the Plan. To facilitate the granting of the RSUs, an aggregate of 1,200,000 outstanding options were cancelled. Following closing of the Offering and grant of the RSUs, Apeiron holds approximately 10.99% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company on an undiluted basis. The Warrants and the RSUs are subject to a restriction on exercise or conversion that prohibits Apeiron from exercising the Warrants or converting the RSUs if the number of common shares to be issued pursuant to such exercise or conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other common shares of the Company owned by Apeiron, 19.9% of all of the common shares issued and outstanding at such time, unless the Company has obtained shareholder approval for the creation of a new 'control person', in accordance with the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange. In addition if any of the RSUs have not been settled by the date that is three years following the date of grant, and the Company has not obtained shareholder approval for the creation of Aperion as a new "control person" and if settlement of the RSUs in common shares would violate the foregoing restriction, then the Company has agreed to settle such RSUs by paying Apeiron cash equal to the fair market value of the common shares underlying such RSUs. In connection with the Offering, the Company's CEO, Zachary Dolesky and all other directors of the Company entered into voluntary lock-up agreements covering an aggregate of 5,817,360 common shares. Mr. Dolesky has agreed to lock up 5,317,360 common shares for so long as Apeiron maintains a minimum ownership stake of 10.0% in the Company (on a partially diluted basis). Additionally, subject to Apeiron maintaining a minimum ownership stake of 10.0% in the Company (on a partially diluted basis), the other directors of the Company have agreed to lock up an additional 500,000 common shares for a term of 18 months. Concurrently with the closing of the Offering, Apeiron and the Company entered into an investor rights agreement, that provides, among other things, Apeiron with certain rights in the event it maintains a minimum ownership stake of 10.0% in the Company (on a partially diluted basis), including: (i) the right to participate in equity financings; (ii) top-up rights in the event of dilutive issuances; and (iii) the right to nominate one person to the Company's board of directors. The proceeds raised from the Offering are expected to be used to accelerate the advancement of Super Copper's flagship Cordillera Cobre project in Chile and support broader business expansion initiatives, including targeted acquisitions and for general working capital purposes including marketing and investor relations. The securities underlying the Units and RSUs are subject to a four month hold period, expiring on September 30, 2025 in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. Early Warning Disclosure Pursuant to the Offering, on May 29, 2025, Apeiron acquired 4,000,000 Units, at a price of $0.25 per Unit, for total consideration of $1,000,000, as well as 3,000,000 RSUs. Prior to the completion of the Offering, Apeiron did not hold any securities of the Company. Following the completion of the Offering, Apeiron holds 4,000,000 common shares, 4,000,000 Warrants, and 3,000,000 RSUs, representing approximately 10.99% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares, on an undiluted basis, or approximately 25.35% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares, on a partially diluted basis, subject, however, to Apeiron being precluded from exercising Warrants or converting RSUs that would result in Apeiron holding more than 19.9% of the then issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, without the Company first obtaining shareholder approval for the creation of a new 'control person', in accordance with the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange. Apeiron acquired the securities of the Company for investment purposes. Apeiron may, depending on market and other conditions, increase or decrease its ownership of the Company's securities, whether in the open market, by privately negotiated agreements or otherwise, subject to a number of factors, including general market conditions and other available investment and business opportunities. The disclosure respecting Apeiron's shareholdings contained in this press release is made pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 62-104 Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids and a report respecting the above acquisition will be filed with the applicable securities commissions using the System of Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR+) website at Apeiron's registered office is located at 66 & 67, Beatrice, Amery Street, Sliema SLM1707, Malta.
