Following the Placement, Teck will own approximately 9.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Kodiak on a non-diluted basis.
In connection with the Placement, Kodiak has agreed to grant Teck an equity participation right to maintain its pro-rata ownership in the Company.
The proceeds from the Placement will be used to advance the Company''s MPD project and other mineral projects, and for general corporate purposes.
