Upon completion of the Private Placement it is anticipated that the subscribers will hold approximately 80% of Odin’s outstanding common shares. Ross Beaty intends to purchase, directly or indirectly, a significant portion (including up to all) of the common shares issued under the Private Placement. Accordingly, Mr. Beaty will become a "Control Person", as defined under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), upon the completion of the Private Placement.
Pursuant to the policies of the TSXV, Odin will seek the approval of the creation of a new Control Person by the written consent of shareholders holding more than 50% of Odin's issued and outstanding common shares.
Closing of the Private Placement (the "Closing") remains subject to approval of the TSXV and the written consent of shareholders holding more 50% of Odin's outstanding common shares.
Odin will use the proceeds of the Private Placement as follows:
a) to drill a minimum of 15,000 meters on the Company’s current properties, reasonably budgeted at an all-inclusive cost of US$3,000,000, which will be managed by a geologist proposed by Mr. Beaty to be appointed as Odin's VP, Exploration following completion of the Private Placement;
b) approximately $200,000 to the repayment of outstanding indebtedness;
c) US$460,000 to meet certain of Odin’s payment obligations pursuant to an existing property agreement; and
d) the balance for general working capital purposes.
Immediately prior to the Closing, approximately $230,000 of Odin's indebtedness will be converted into common shares at a conversion price per share equal to the per share price of the Private Placement.
It is intended that certain members of Odin's board of directors and management will resign on completion of the Private Placement and be replaced by certain individuals proposed by Mr. Beaty. Stephen Stow, Odin's current President and Chief Executive Officer, has been asked and has agreed to continue as a director following completion of the Private Placement.
Mr. Stow and Mauricio Ledesma, Odin's Executive Director in Ecuador, are pleased to work with Mr. Beaty to continue to develop Odin's assets in Ecuador with the injection of the proceeds of the Private Placement and relevant expertise.
