TORONTO , Aug. 12, 2025 /CNW/ -Saltire Capital Ltd. ("Saltire" or the "Company") (TSX: SLT) (TSX: SLT.U) (TSX: SLT.WT.U) is pleased to announce the closing ("Closing") of the brokered portion of its previously announced private placement (the "Private Placement") with Paradigm Capital Inc. ("Paradigm") as lead agent and sole book runner of up to 424,448 common shares in the capital of the Company ("Common Shares") at a price of $11.78 per Common Share (the "Offering Price"). Pursuant to the Closing, the Company raised gross proceeds of $3,088,716 through the issuance of 262,200 Common Shares.

The Company anticipates holding one subsequent closing on or about August 13, 2025, in respect of certain purchasers participating in the Private Placement on a non-brokered basis.

In connection with the Private Placement, Paradigm was paid (i) a cash fee equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the brokered Private Placement, and (ii) 18,354 Common Share purchase warrants (the "Compensation Warrants"), being equal to 7% of the number of Common Shares issued pursuant to the brokered Private Placement. Each whole Compensation Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of C$14.5228 per Common Share for a period expiring at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on December 1, 2030.

The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to indirectly fund a portion of the cash purchase price payable in respect of the Company's previously completed acquisition of SanStone Investments Limited.

"Saltire is pleased to have completed the Private Placement, and believes the success of this offering positions the Company very well to continue to execute on its strategy," said Andrew Clark, CEO of Saltire.  

All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement (including the Compensation Warrants) will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities legislation in Canada.

About Saltire Capital Ltd.

Saltire is a long-term capital partner that allocates capital to equity, debt and/or hybrid securities of high-quality private companies. Investments made by Saltire consist of meaningful and influential stakes in carefully selected private companies that it believes are under-valued businesses with the potential to significantly improve fundamental value over the long-term. These businesses will generally have high barriers to entry, predictable revenue streams and cash flows and defensive characteristics. Although Saltire primarily allocates capital to private companies, Saltire may, in certain circumstances if the opportunity arises, also pursue opportunities with orphaned or value challenged small and micro-cap public companies. Saltire provides investors with access to private and control-level investments typically reserved for larger players, while maintaining liquidity.
