Peter Nicholson of WCPD Talks About Charity Flow-Through Financings
In this InvestorIntel interview during PDAC 2023, Tracy Weslosky talks with Peter Nicholson, Founder and President of WCPD Inc. discusses charity flow-through financings.
Peter explains that in 2006, there was a tax law change that promoted more philanthropy to donate public shares and not be subject to capital gains tax. He saw an opportunity in flow-through shares, which are all capital gains and therefore the best public shares to give.
Charity flow-through shares have compelling and exciting characteristics, as they not only raise money for companies to help them develop but also donate money to worthwhile causes.
He explains that many people at PDAC now know what charity flow-through shares are, but it is still complex for those not in the tax world and that WCPD has found liquidity providers, which are institutions or high-net-worth individuals that understand the mining business and will buy all the flow-through shares from them immediately as long as they sell at a discount.
