Cap-Ex to Consolidate Share Capital, Continue to British Columbia and Settle Certain Debt
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 12, 2014) - Cap-Ex Iron Ore Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CEV)(OTCQX:CPXVF)(FRANKFURT:X0V) ("Cap-Ex" or the "Company") announces that its Board of Directors has called a special meeting of shareholders for July 9, 2014 to authorize, by way of special resolution, a 1 for 4 consolidation (the "Consolidation") of the Company's share capital and the continuation of the Company to British Columbia (the "Continuance"). As of the date hereof, there are 97,767,986 common shares of the Company outstanding, of which 24,441,996 shares will be issued immediately following the Consolidation.
The Consolidation and Continuance are also subject to the acceptance of the Exchange. The Company does not intend to implement a name change in conjunction with the Consolidation and does not intend to change its symbol unless required by the Exchange. The Company's Board of Directors is of the opinion that the Consolidation would leave it better positioned to raise equity financing in the future and the Continuance will facilitate the administration of the Company's corporate records following the return of the Company's head office to Vancouver, B.C. last year.
In addition, Cap-Ex has agreed to a debt settlement with a non-arm's-length company controlled by certain directors and officers of the Company pursuant to which Cap-Ex will issue, subject to the acceptance of the Exchange, an aggregate of 10,000,000 pre-consolidated common shares (2,500,000 post-consolidated shares) at a deemed price of $0.025 per pre-consolidated share ($0.10 per post-consolidated share) in settlement of outstanding indebtedness totaling $250,000 in respect of certain drilling and exploration services provided to the Company in 2013 (the "Debt Settlement"). The Company has determined to satisfy this outstanding indebtedness with shares in order to preserve its cash for operations.
The Debt Settlement is subject to Exchange acceptance and all shares issued pursuant to the settlement will be subject to a four-month hold period.
Jasvir Kaloti, has resigned as Corporate Secretary. Management of Cap-Ex thanks Ms. Kaloti for her many years of service and wishes her well in her future endeavors. Martin Burian, CFO of Cap-Ex., was appointed as Corporate Secretary.
