Lithium Americas Launches $100 Million At-The-Market Program
Read MoreHide Full Article
Lithium Americas Corp. (LAC - Free Report) recently entered into an equity distribution agreement with TD Securities (USA) LLC and TD Securities Inc. Under this agreement, the company may sell its common shares, with no par value, for a total offering price of up to $100 million (or the equivalent in Canadian dollars) through an at-the-market (ATM) program.
Shares offered through the ATM Program will be sold via the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), or any other trading platform defined under applicable securities laws and otherwise agreed upon by the company and the agent, based on the prevailing market price at the time of sale. The timing and volume of any sales will be determined solely at the company's discretion, in line with the terms outlined in the agreement.
The TSX has conditionally approved the listing of the shares to be issued under the program, and the company has applied for approval from the NYSE for its listing as well. However, Lithium Americas is under no obligation to sell any shares under the program. The ATM Program will remain active until either all the shares authorized for issue under the program are issued and sold or the program is otherwise terminated in accordance with the distribution agreement, whichever is earlier.
LAC plans to use any net proceeds from the ATM Program, if generated, for general corporate purposes. These may include covering corporate and project-related overhead costs, funding capital expenditures, repaying debt and increasing working capital.
Shares of LAC have lost 27.3% over the past year compared with a 9.8% decline of its industry.
