Key Terms

private placement, subscription agreement, warrant, investor rights agreement, +1 more
5 terms
private placement financial
"acquire, in a non-brokered private placement, 53,420,000 units"
A private placement is a sale of securities directly to a selected group of investors, typically institutions or accredited investors, instead of through a public offering. It lets a company raise money faster and with fewer regulatory steps; for existing shareholders it matters because the newly issued shares, often sold at a discount, increase the share count and can dilute their ownership.
subscription agreement financial
"entered into a subscription agreement dated August 24, 2026"
A subscription agreement is a legal contract in which an investor agrees to buy a specific number of a company’s shares or other securities under set terms, including price, payment method and conditions for closing the sale. It matters to investors because it legally locks in their purchase and the company’s obligations, determines ownership percentage and any investor rights, and can include conditions or promises that affect future control or returns—like signing a detailed purchase order for equity.
warrant financial
"one-half of one common share purchase warrant of Radisson"
A warrant is a time-limited financial contract that gives its holder the right to buy a company's shares at a set price before a specified date, like a coupon that lets you purchase stock at a fixed discount for a limited time. It matters to investors because warrants offer leveraged exposure to a stock’s upside and can dilute existing shareholders if exercised, so they affect potential gains and the company’s outstanding share count.
investor rights agreement financial
"will enter into an investor rights agreement"
A legally binding contract between a company and its investors that spells out investors’ core protections and privileges—such as voting rights, how and when shares can be sold, information access, and steps for resolving disputes. Think of it like a rulebook or homeowner association agreement for ownership: it clarifies who gets a say, how value can be realized, and what protections exist if things go wrong, making investment risks and expectations clearer for shareholders.
early warning report regulatory
"An early warning report will be filed by Agnico Eagle"
An early warning report is a regulatory filing that publicly discloses when an investor or insider has taken a large or potentially influential position in a company's shares or plans significant actions with those shares. It matters to investors because it flags possible shifts in control, takeover attempts, or concentrated influence—like a neighborhood notice that someone is buying several houses on the block—helping readers reassess risk, valuation, and trading strategy.

On closing of the Private Placement, Agnico Eagle and Radisson will enter into an investor rights agreement, pursuant to which Agnico Eagle will be entitled to certain rights, provided it maintains certain ownership thresholds in Radisson, including: (a) the right (which Agnico Eagle has no present intention of exercising) to nominate one person (and in the case of an increase in the size of the board of directors of Radisson to eight or more directors, two persons) to the board of directors of Radisson; and (b) the right to participate in certain equity offerings in order to maintain or acquire up to the greater of Agnico Eagle's then-current ownership interest and an ownership interest of 14.9% (on a partially-diluted basis) in Radisson, and a separate top-up right in respect of certain dilutive issuances permitting Agnico Eagle to maintain its then-current ownership interest (on a partially-diluted basis) in Radisson. In addition, the investor rights agreement will provide for certain restrictions, from closing of the Private Placement through to December 31, 2028, on specified transactions involving Radisson's mineral properties, including dispositions and certain royalty, stream, offtake and secured financing transactions, and thereafter a sixty-day advance notice right in respect of such transactions for so long as Agnico Eagle maintains certain ownership thresholds in Radisson.

Agnico Eagle is acquiring the Common Shares and Warrants as part of its strategy of acquiring strategic positions in prospective opportunities with high geological potential. Depending on market conditions, strategic priorities and other factors, Agnico Eagle may, from time to time, acquire additional Common Shares, Warrants or other securities of Radisson or dispose of some or all of the Common Shares, Warrants or other securities of Radisson that it owns at such time.
