Americas Bullion Receives Final $13.95 Million USD Payment from Royalty Sale; Completes Arrangement with Till Capital

17.04.2014  |  Business Wire
Americas Bullion Royalty Corp. (TSX: AMB) ("Americas Bullion" or the "Company" or “AMB”) announces that it has received the final $13.95 million USD payment from the sale of 18 royalties to Orion Royalty Company LLC as previously announced on November 26th, 2013. The Company also announces the successful completion of the previously announced arrangement (the "Arrangement").


Background

In November 2013, Americas Bullion entered into an amendment to the senior secured facility agreement with MF Investment, pursuant to which a nominee of MF Investment was granted an option to purchase 18 royalties from Nevada Royalty Corp. ("NRC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Americas Bullion. The option was exercised on November 26th, 2013, and NRC entered into an agreement of purchase and sale with Orion Royalty Company LLC ("Orion") pursuant to which NRC completed the sale of the royalties to Orion for a total of $34 million USD, including retirement of the debt facility, subject to post-closing deliveries being satisfied. For more information please see AMB news release dated November 26th, 2013.


Corporate Reorganization Status

The Company also wishes to update shareholders and confirm that the reorganization transaction of AMB pursuant to the Arrangement (see AMB news releases dated December 17th, 2013 and March 25th, 2014) has received the approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia. Further, the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") has conditionally accepted the listing of the restricted voting shares (the “Till Shares”) of Till Capital Ltd. ("Till") that shareholders of AMB will receive under the Arrangement.

As a result of the Arrangement, the common shares of AMB shares will cease to be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") and the Till Shares will become listed for trading on the TSX-V. As part of this transition, the AMB shares will continue to be traded on the TSX for 3 business days. The AMB shares are expected to cease to be listed for trading on the TSX on or about the close of business on April 23, 2014. The Till Shares will become listed for trading on the TSX-V on or about April 24, 2014. AMB intends to apply to the relevant securities regulatory authorities to cease to be a reporting issuer in the applicable jurisdictions in Canada.
