Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On February 5, 2014, the Registrant and its wholly owned subsidiary, Vista Gold U.S. Inc. (“Vista US”), entered into an agency agreement (the “Agency Agreement”) among certain agents (the “Agents”) under which the Agents have arranged to sell up to 16,000,000 common shares (the “Offered Midas Shares”) at a price of Cdn$0.80 per Offered Midas Share for aggregate gross proceeds of up to Cdn$12,800,000 (the “Offering”). In addition, the Offered Midas Shares may be sold pursuant to a finder’s agreement between Vista US and a finder (the “Finder”) on the same offering terms. In consideration for the services to be provided by the Agents, and if applicable, the Finder, in connection with the sale of the Offered Midas Shares, the Agents or the Finder (as applicable) will receive a cash fee in amount equal to 6% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Offered Midas Shares. The Registrant and Vista US may commence selling the Offered Midas Shares on or about February 14, 2014.
The Registrant and Vista US have agreed that following the closing of the Offering, they will not sell any of their remaining shares of Midas for a period of 8 to 12 months following closing, depending on the size of the Offering. In connection with the Offering Endeavour Financial Limited (Cayman) has provided the board of directors with a favourable fairness opinion on the Offering.
The securities described herein have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or the securities laws of any state of the United States and may not be offered or sold absent such registration or pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements. This current report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described herein in the United States.
