Financing classification

Types we tag

• Private placement — equity (often a unit of share + warrant) sold to accredited investors without an underwriter commitment. Can be brokered or non-brokered.
• Bought deal — an underwriter has committed its own capital to purchase the offering before remarketing.
• Prospectus offering — securities sold under a filed prospectus, available to a broader investor base.
• Rights offering — existing shareholders receive the right to buy additional shares at a fixed price.
• Debt financing — non-equity instruments (convertible debentures, notes, loan facilities).
• Best-efforts offering — the agent commits to use best efforts to place the securities but does not underwrite the deal.
• Streaming-royalty deal — financing in exchange for a stream of future commodity production or a royalty on future revenue.
• Share purchase plan — existing shareholders are offered the right to buy additional shares within a limit.
• At-the-market (ATM) offering — equity sold in tranches into the open market through a sales agent.
• Other — a residual bucket for structures that don't fit the above tags.

A single deal can carry multiple type tags simultaneously when the structure has more than one component — e.g. a unit offering with both bought-deal and best-efforts tranches.

Deal-level terms we surface

From each deal, OreStocks extracts and surfaces:

• Gross proceeds and currency (CAD / USD / AUD / etc.)
• Price per security and currency
• Brokered status
• Deal stage and lifecycle (announced → priced → closed)
• Tranche count
• Warrant terms when included in the deal — exercise price, warrants per unit, and expiry
• Use of proceeds (summary text)
• Financing type and the full list of type tags for multi-component deals

Currency policy

Gross proceeds are reported in the deal's native currency. Cross- currency normalization is intentionally avoided on the public pages, so every figure can be verified against the issuer's own disclosure without an exchange-rate translation step in between.

Lifecycle

Each deal starts at announced. As follow-on press releases arrive, the status progresses through priced, closed, and tranche-by-tranche closings. The extractor updates the row in place; the latest state is what surfaces in the terminal.

Duplicates

Each row is extracted from a specific announcement. The same transaction can therefore appear more than once — for example when both counterparties announce it (the buyer and the seller of a streaming deal) or when a dual-listed issuer announces on more than one exchange. Any ranking we build on this data collapses cross-listing duplicates where the data allows, so the same transaction is not double-counted.

Source provenance

Every financing row links back to its source press release(s) and regulatory filings. The deal can be audited against the issuer disclosure in one click.
