Vista Gold Corp. (NYSE American and TSX: VGZ) has renewed its At-The-Market Offering Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., , maintaining a practice in place since 2017. The agreement allows Vista to sell up to US$8 million in common shares, though there's no obligation to do so. The company reported US$19 million in cash as of September 30, 2024, and plans to use the renewed ATM opportunistically, consistent with past practices, rather than marketing the full $8 million amount.

Insights

The renewal of Vista Gold's ATM agreement is a routine financial instrument that provides flexibility but doesn't signal immediate capital needs. With $19 million in cash reserves as of Q3 2024, VGZ maintains a solid liquidity position. The $8 million ATM facility serves as a strategic tool for opportunistic fundraising rather than an urgent financing requirement.

The company's clarification about selective usage of the ATM facility demonstrates prudent capital management and transparency with investors. Historical patterns suggest minimal dilution risk, as management has shown restraint in utilizing this facility since 2017. This approach aligns with maintaining shareholder value while ensuring access to capital markets when advantageous conditions arise.

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Vista Gold Corp. (NYSE American and TSX: VGZ) recently renewed its At-The-Market Offering Agreement (“ATM Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC. In the course of ordinary business, Vista has maintained an ATM Agreement since 2017, including pursuant to periodic renewals. Under the ATM Agreement, Vista has the right to sell up to US$8 million in Vista common shares but is under no obligation to do so.

Frederick H. Earnest, Vista’s President and CEO commented, “We have consistently maintained an ATM Agreement as part of our business strategy; however, in the past, we have only used it from time to time on what we believe is an opportunistic basis. On October 23, 2024, we announced our third quarter 2024 financial results in which we reported US$19 million in cash as of September 30, 2024. We anticipate using the renewed ATM in a manner generally consistent with our past practices but are not marketing a financing under the ATM Agreement for its face amount of $8 million as may have been interpreted by some from the public filings or media reports.”
