Vancouver, Canada / ACCESSWIRE / June 3, 2014 / Choice Gold Corp. (CSE: CHF) (“Choice”), International Enexco Ltd. (“IEC”) and Full Metal Minerals Ltd. (“Full Metal”) are pleased to announce that the companies have entered into a tripartite definitive arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") with respect to the previously announced letter of intent (“LOI”) dated March 19th, 2014.
Arrangement Agreement
Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, IEC, Choice and Full Metal have agreed to complete a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Under the Arrangement, each Full Metal shareholder will receive 2.0 common shares of Choice (each whole common share a “Common Share”) and 1.0 listed share purchase warrant of Choice (each whole warrant a “Warrant”) (the “Full Metal Consideration”), in exchange for the acquisition of the Pyramid Copper Project in Alaska, which will be transferred to a new Alaskan subsidiary. Concurrently, each IEC shareholder will receive 8.8 Common Shares and 4.4 Warrants (together, the “IEC Consideration”) in exchange for the acquisition of Enexco International Inc. (“Enexco US”), the wholly owned subsidiary of IEC that holds the Contact Copper Project in Nevada, which shall be indirectly held by 0999279 B.C. Ltd. (“IEC Spinco”), an entity which will be held by the IEC shareholders immediately following the completion of the transactions with Denison Mines Corp., currently scheduled to occur on or around June 6, 2014 (see IEC press release April 14, 2014). Each Warrant will be exercisable into Common Shares for a period of five years at a price of $0.10 per Common Share. Upon the completion of the Arrangement, Choice will be renamed CopperBank Resources Corp. (“CopperBank”) and complete a five for one share consolidation.
Any outstanding warrants and options of IEC as of completion of the Arrangement will be exchanged for options and warrants of CopperBank, adjusted by the exchange ratio of 8.8. The Arrangement is expected to be completed on or before August 31, 2014. The transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement are subject to approval by the securityholders of each of Choice, Full Metal and IEC Spinco, the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the Canadian Securities Exchange, as well as the approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia. The Arrangement Agreement also provides for, among other things, a non-solicitation covenant on the part of IEC Spinco and Full Metal, and a termination fee in the aggregate amount of CAD$100,000 payable by IEC Spinco or Full Metal in certain events.
The Arrangement Agreement is available on SEDAR at http://www.sedar.com under the profiles of each of IEC, Choice and Full Metal and additional details concerning the Arrangement will be provided in the joint management information circulars of IEC Spinco, Choice, and Full Metal, to be filed with regulatory authorities and mailed to each company’s respective securityholders in connection with each company’s meeting of securityholders, which are expected to be held in August, 2014. The Arrangement Agreement will be subject to the approval of 66-2/3% of IEC Spinco, Full Metal and Choice shareholders who vote at their respective meetings.
Choice’s CopperBank Financing
In addition, prior to the completion of the Arrangement, Choice is to complete a private placement financing of no less than $2,000,000 for CopperBank (the “Financing”). The Financing will be on a best efforts basis to consist of up to 100,000,000 subscription receipts at an issue price of $0.02 per subscription receipt (the “Subscription Receipts”). If all of the conditions to the closing of the Arrangement are satisfied, each Subscription Receipt will, without payment of any additional consideration or taking further action, entitle the holder to receive one unit ("Unit") of Choice. Each Unit will consist of one Common Share of Choice and one Common Share purchase warrant of Choice ("Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share of Choice at a purchase price of $0.10 per Common Share for a period of five years after completion of the Arrangement. The proceeds of the Financing will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. A finder’s fee, in accordance with the policies of the CSE, may be payable in cash and warrants from the proceeds of the Financing. All securities issued under the terms of the Financing will be subject to a four month and one day hold period from date of closing.
Furthermore, upon completion of the Arrangement, Choice will consolidate its share capital on the basis of one (1) new share for five (5) old shares and change its name to CopperBank Resources Corp. All securities issued pursuant to the Financing will be subject to the 5:1 consolidation.
