VIZSLA SILVER ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF US$300 MILLION CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES OFFERING

 

 

 

 

 

Vizsla Silver Corp. (TSX: VZLA) (NYSE: VZLA) (Frankfurt: 0G3) announced the closing of its previously announced offering of 5.00% convertible senior unsecured notes due 2031 for an aggregate principal amount of US$300 million, which includes the exercise in full by the initial purchasers of their option to purchase an additional US$50 million of Notes.

 

Vizsla Silver’s President & CEO, Michael Konnert commented, “Vizsla Silver greatly appreciates the strong support from a global institutional investor base for this Offering and is proud to welcome a new group of investors to Vizsla Silver, including many of the world’s largest asset managers. In connection with this US-style convertible notes offering, we also entered into cash-settled capped call transactions that are expected generally to compensate (through the payment of cash to the Company) for potential economic dilution upon conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments that the Company could be required to make in excess of the principal amount of any Notes upon conversion thereof, as the case may be, with such compensation and/or offset subject to a cap. While we elected to maintain flexibility for our settlement options at this time, we have the ability to settle all or a portion of our conversion obligation in cash, which allow us to potentially decrease shareholder dilution upon conversion of the Notes. In addition, the Notes’ coupon reduces our previously expected debt service obligations during the expected construction and commissioning phase of the Panuco project, and the unsecured, covenant-light structure provides us with greater financial flexibility as we move towards developing Panuco while undertaking an aggressive exploration program across our portfolio.

 

With an annual coupon of 5.00%, the Notes alone carry an interest rate that is ~50% lower than the annual interest rate on many traditional project financing facilities. The net proceeds from the Offering combined with Vizsla Silver’s strong pre-Offering cash position, I believe place the Company in a strong financial position to pursue the development of our Panuco project, continue extensive exploration across our portfolio, and consider future strategic growth opportunities.”

 

Key Features of the Capped Call Convertible Notes

  • With the Study phase complete, Vizsla Silver’s cash holdings are now ~2x the capital requirement to bring the Panuco project into production and continue district-scale exploration while retaining full flexibility to accommodate any strategic and operational variables.
  • The flexibility provided by the terms of the convertible Notes allows Vizsla Silver to move faster with complete control over cash generated by the Panuco project, eliminating project-specific covenants and completion tests that would otherwise limit Vizsla Silver’s discretion over the use of project cashflows.
  • Vizsla Silver retains the freedom to use project cashflows for share buybacks, dividends, acquisitions, asset sales or other activities to benefit shareholders which were not initially permissible under alternative debt financing terms.
  • The capped call transactions, paired with a cash settlement option, allows Vizsla Silver to effectively raise capital at a higher valuation relative to today’s net asset value, reducing dilution while capturing a competitive cost of capital.
  • Vizsla Silver immediately draws the full net proceeds rather than the milestone-based tranche drawdowns offered under alterative debt financing terms. Together with the low coupon of 5%, which we expect will initially be offset by interest earned on cash holdings and free of any commitment fees, Vizsla Silver has full control over the deployment of development capital at a lower servicing cost.

 

Summary of the Offering

  • Approximately US$286 million of net proceeds after deducting the initial purchasers’ commissions and other fees and expenses. Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. acted as sole book-running manager for the Offering.
  • Cash interest coupon of 5.00% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15th and July 15th of each year, beginning July 15, 2026.
  • The initial conversion rate for the Notes is 171.3062 common shares of Vizsla Silver per US$1,000 principal amount of Notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately US$5.84 per Share (approximately 25% premium to the closing price of the Shares on the NYSE American at the time of pricing on November 19, 2025).
  • Vizsla Silver entered into cash-settled call transactions with a strike price equal to the initial conversion price of the Notes of US$5.84 per Share and with a cap price of US$10.5075. The purchase price for the capped call transactions was approximately US$47 million.
  • Conversions of the Notes may be settled in Shares, cash, or a combination of Shares and cash, at Vizsla Silver’s election. Additionally, Vizsla Silver has the right to redeem the Notes in certain circumstances and holders will have the right to require Vizsla Silver to repurchase the Notes upon the occurrence of certain events.
  • The Notes will mature on January 15, 2031. Any Notes not converted, redeemed or repurchased prior to the maturity date will have their principal amount repaid by Vizsla Silver in cash at maturity.
  • The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to support the exploration and development of the Panuco project, potential future acquisitions as well as for general corporate purposes.
