IC Potash Announces Private Placement Financing

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH US NEWSWIRE SERVICES

IC Potash Corp. (TSX: ICP; OTCQX: ICPTF) (“IC Potash” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement of up to 16,250,000 units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of $0.08 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1.3 million (the “Private Placement”).

Each Unit will consist of (i) one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”); and (ii) one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.11 for a period of 12 months from the Closing Date (as defined below), provided that if, at any time after the date which is four months and one day following the Closing Date, the volume weighted average price of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) is equal to or exceeds $0.18 for 20 consecutive trading days, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants, in which event the Warrants will expire upon the date (the “Accelerated Expiry Date”) which is 30 days following the dissemination of a press release by the Company announcing the Accelerated Expiry Date.

The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for working capital purposes and securing polyhalite offtake agreements. The Private Placement is expected to close on or about December 12, 2016 (the “Closing Date”) and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the TSX. Securities issued under the Private Placement will be subject to a hold period, which will expire four months and one day from the Closing Date.

The Company may pay finder’s fees to certain qualified eligible persons assisting the Company in the Private Placement in an amount equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised by such finders. The Company may also issue such number of broker warrants (“Broker Warrants”) to qualified eligible persons as is equal to 7% of the aggregate number of Units sold by such finders, each such Broker Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one Common Share for a period of 12 months at an exercise price equal to $0.11.

IC Potash will also extend the warrants to non-insiders expiring December 2016 for 6 months under terms.

IC Potash currently has 10,000,000 warrants set at the exercise price of $0.35 expiring on December 18, 2016. IC Potash has obtained warrant holder approval to extend 9,760,000 warrants held by arm’s length parties for six months to June 18, 2017 with a reduction of the exercise price to $0.11. The 240,000 warrants held by insiders will not be extended. These warrants were originally issued as part of a private placement undertaken in December of 2013. The amendments to these warrants will become effective on the 10th business day after the date of this press release.

The continued support from the shareholder base will be critical in 2017 as IC Potash intends to excel its marketing and offtake partnerships, IC Potash President and CEO, Mehdi Azodi, stated.
