Ero agreed with a group of underwriters led by BMO Capital Markets to sell 8,510,000 new common shares at US$12.35 each, about US$105 million in total, with a 30-day option for up to 15% more. Proceeds are meant for growth work at the Tucumã Project (the former Boa Esperança) and Caraíba Operations, regional exploration, and general corporate and working capital purposes. Shareholders face dilution from the new shares; closing was expected around November 14, 2023, subject to TSX and NYSE approval.
What it means for a shareholder
8.5m new shares at US$12.35 to raise about US$105m. That's 8.5% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 8.5% smaller. If you held US$1,000 of shares (81 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.0000878% to 0.0000804% of the company. To keep it you'd need 7 more shares - about US$86 at the issue price.
