Federal Gold completes $8M RTO subscription receipts financing

ZTR ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF OVERSUBSCRIBED FEDERAL GOLD $8,000,000 SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPT FINANCING

September 30, 2020 – Vancouver, British Columbia – ZTR Acquisition Corp. (TSXV: ZTR.H) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Federal Gold Corp. (“Federal Gold”) has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement financing (the “Financing”) of 20,000,000 subscription receipts (the “Subscription Receipts”) at a price of $0.40 per Subscription Receipt, for gross proceeds of $8,000,000. The closing of the Financing is a condition to completing the previously announced amalgamation of Federal Gold with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the terms of the definitive amalgamation agreement entered into with Federal Gold (the “Definitive Agreement”) (see news release of the Company dated September 28, 2020).

The proceeds of the Financing (the “Escrowed Funds”) have been deposited in escrow, pending the Company receiving all applicable regulatory approvals and completing the Business Combination (the “Escrow Conditions”). Upon satisfaction of the Escrow Conditions, immediately prior to the completion of the Business Combination, each Subscription Receipt will automatically convert into one common share of Federal Gold (the “Conversion Shares”) for no additional consideration and the Conversion Shares will be exchanged for common shares of the Company (the “Consideration Shares”) on a one-for-one basis pursuant to the terms of the Definitive Agreement. If the Business Combination is not completed on or before December 31, 2020, the Escrowed Funds will be returned to the subscribers and the Subscription Receipts will be void and be of no further effect or value.

In consideration for their services in connection with the Financing, upon satisfaction of the Escrow Conditions, certain arms-length finders will be paid aggregate cash commissions of $402,390. In addition, as further consideration, upon satisfaction of the Escrow Conditions, Federal Gold has agreed to issue to the finders an aggregate of 1,005,975 finder warrants (the “Finders Warrants”). Upon completion of the Business Combination, each Finders Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share in the capital of the Company (the “Common Shares”) at an exercise price of $0.40 for a period of 12 months following the satisfaction of the Escrow Conditions.

The Subscription Receipts are subject to an indefinite hold period, which commences on the date of the issuance of the Subscription Receipts, in accordance with applicable securities laws. Subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, any Consideration Shares issued in exchange for the Conversion Shares, as well as the Finders Warrants and any Common Shares issuable on conversion of the Finders Warrants, are not expected to be subject to restrictions on resale.

The net proceeds of the Financing, once released from Escrow upon satisfaction of the Escrow Conditions (and completion of the Business Combination), are intended to be used by the Company for the exploration of the mineral properties currently controlled by Federal Gold, expansion of the Company’s operations and for general corporate purposes.
