ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 5, 2011, Silver Bull Resources, Inc. (“Silver Bull”) received commitments from certain investors (the “Investors”), each of whom entered into definitive subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”), to purchase shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), in connection with a registered direct offering (the “Registered Direct Offering”). A copy of the Form of the Subscription Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 2, 2011, and is hereby incorporated by reference.
Pursuant to this Registered Direct Offering, Silver Bull agreed to sell an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of its Common Stock to the Investors for aggregate gross proceeds, before deducting estimated offering expenses payable by Silver Bull, of $3 million. The purchase price was $0.50 per share of Common Stock. The offering is expected to close on or about December 9, 2011, subject to customary closing conditions including, but not limited to, the approval of the NYSE Amex and the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The Registered Direct Offering was effected as a takedown off Silver Bull’s registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-172789), which became effective on June 14, 2011 (the “Registration Statement”) pursuant to a prospectus supplement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on December 6, 2011.
The net proceeds to Silver Bull from the Registered Direct Offering will be used for the following purposes: (1) approximately $2.19 million for drilling, metallurgy, and other geological work at the Sierra Mojada project; (2) approximately $400,000 for payments required pursuant to option agreements for certain concessions at the Sierra Mojada project; and (3) approximately $290,000 for general corporate purposes.
On December 6, 2011, Silver Bull issued a press release announcing the Registered Direct Offering. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
These commitments are in addition to the commitments received from other investors for the sale of 15,050,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.50 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $7,525,000, as described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 2, 2011.
