Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 33
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Additional Funding Requirements and Shareholder Equity Dilution
Fury Gold's business is in the exploration stage and the Company does not carry-on mining activities. As such, it will require additional financing to continue its operations. Fury Gold's ability to secure additional financing and fund ongoing exploration will be affected by many factors, including the strength of the economy and other general economic factors. Global financial conditions continue to be subject to volatility arising from international geopolitical developments and global economic phenomenon, as well as general financial market turbulence. Access to public financing and credit can be negatively impacted by the effect of these events on Canadian and global credit markets. These instances of volatility and market turmoil could adversely impact Fury Gold's operations and the trading price of the Common Shares. There can be no assurance that Fury Gold will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future, or that the terms of such financing will be favourable for further exploration and development of its projects. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration, drilling and/or development. Further, revenues, financings and profits, if any, will depend upon various factors, including the success, if any, of exploration programs and general market conditions for natural resources. In order to finance future operations, Fury Gold may raise funds through the issuance of additional Common Shares or the issuance of debt instruments or other securities convertible into Common Shares. Fury Gold cannot predict the size of future issuances of Common Shares or the issuance of debt instruments or other securities convertible into Common Shares or the dilutive effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of Fury Gold's securities will have on the market price of the Common Shares.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Changes in the Market Price of Common Shares
The Common Shares are listed on the TSX and the NYSE American. The price of Common Shares is likely to be significantly affected by short-term changes in the gold price or in its financial condition or results of operations as reflected in its quarterly earnings reports. Other factors unrelated to Fury Gold's performance that may have an effect on the price of Common Shares and may adversely affect an investor's ability to liquidate an investment and consequently an investor's interest in acquiring a significant stake in Fury Gold include: a reduction in analyst coverage by investment banks with research capabilities, a drop in trading volume and general market interest in Fury Gold's securities, a failure to meet the reporting and other obligations under relevant securities laws or imposed by applicable stock exchanges could result in a delisting of the Common Shares and a substantial decline in the price of the Common Shares that persists for a significant period of time.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3Claims by Investors Outside of Canada
Fury Gold is incorporated under the laws of British Columbia. All of Fury Gold's directors and officers, with the exception of Mr. Tim Clark, CEO of the Company who is a US resident, and some of the experts named herein, are residents of Canada or otherwise reside outside of the United States, and all or a substantial portion of their assets, and a substantial portion of Fury Gold's assets, are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors in the United States or outside of Canada to bring an action against directors, officers or experts who are not resident in the United States. It may also be difficult for an investor to enforce a judgment obtained in a United States court or a court of another jurisdiction of residence predicated upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws or other laws of the United States or any state thereof or the equivalent laws of other jurisdictions outside of Canada against those persons or Fury Gold.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Liabilities relating to Past Issuances of Flow-Through Shares
The Company has issued Flow-Through Shares which requires that it expend the proceeds on exploration in Canada pursuant to the requirements of Canadian tax legislation which incentivized investors to purchase these shares (which aside form the tax aspects are in all respects ordinary common shares). Although the Company believes it will be able to incur the necessary amount of exploration expenditures as required by the Flow-Through Share subscription agreements, there is a risk that expenditures incurred by the Company may not be expended within the time limits, or that they will qualify as "Canadian exploration expenditures" ("CEE") , as such term is defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"), or that any such resource expenses incurred will be reduced by other events including failure to comply with the provisions of the Flow-Through Share subscription agreements or of applicable income tax legislation. If the Company does not renounce to Flow-Through Share subscribers CEE within 2023, or if there is a reduction in such amount renounced pursuant to the provisions of the Tax Act, the Company may need to indemnify such subscribers, on the terms included in the Flow-Through Share subscription agreements, for an amount equal to the amount of any tax payable or that may become payable under the Tax Act. There were $0.6 million remaining expenditures as of December 31, 2023, in connection with the requirement to incur CEE in 2024. On March 23, 2023, the Company issued 6,076,500 FTS of the Company for gross proceeds of $8.75 million. The Company is required to deploy the remaining $0.6 million of CEE on or before December 31, 2024 in respect of this financing and the balance in 2025 and failure to do so will result in material financial penalties.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5The Company is a foreign private issuer which exempts us from complying with certain Exchange Act reporting requirements.
The Company is considered a "foreign private issuer" and will report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. This means that, as long as the Company qualifies as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, it will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including: the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents, or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time;the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, or current reports on Form 8-K, upon the occurrence of specified significant events. The Company intends to take advantage of these exemptions (or voluntarily comply with the requirements applicable to U.S. domestic public companies) until such time as it is no longer a foreign private issuer. The Company would cease to be a foreign private issuer at such time as more than 50% of the Company's outstanding voting securities are held by U.S. residents and any of the following three circumstances applies: (i) the majority of the Company's executive officers or directors are U.S. citizens or residents; (ii) more than 50% of the Company's assets are located in the USA; or (iii) the Company's business is administered principally in the USA. If the Company fails to maintain its foreign private issuer status and decides, or is required, to register as a U.S. domestic issuer, the regulatory and compliance costs to the Company will be significantly more than the costs incurred as a foreign private issuer. In such event, the Company would not be eligible to use foreign issuer forms and would be required to file periodic and current reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms with the SEC, which are generally more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6It may be difficult to enforce judgments or bring actions outside the United States against the Company and certain of its directors.
The Company is a British Columbia, Canada corporation and certain of its officers and directors are neither citizens nor residents of the USA. A substantial part of the assets of several of these persons are located outside the USA. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for an investor: to enforce in courts outside the U.S. judgments obtained in U.S. courts based upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws against these persons and the Company; or to bring in courts outside the U.S. an original action to enforce liabilities based upon U.S. federal securities laws against these persons and the Company.
