NMC Resource Signs Letter of Intent to Go Private at $0.20 per Share
Under the terms of the LOI, Dong Won, the majority shareholder of the Company is to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, other than shares held by Dong Won and KTB 2007 Private Equity Fund ("KTB") at a price of $0.20 per outstanding common share. The LOI contemplates that the transaction be completed by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) which would require shareholder approval and the approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia.
The terms of the LOI was considered by Bruce Durham, as an independent committee of the board of directors. The committee engaged independent legal counsel and also engaged Evans & Evans Inc. (the "Advisor") to prepare a valuation of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company and to consider the fairness of the offer from Dong Won, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of the Company other than Dong Won and KTB. The Advisor was of the opinion that the shares of the Company have a value in the range of $0.17 to $0.19 per share. The committee, based on the valuation and related fairness opinion, recommended to the board of directors that the Company enter into the LOI, negotiate a formal arrangement agreement with Dong Won and recommend to the shareholders to vote in favor of completing the arrangement at a duly called shareholders' meeting.
The Company will now proceed with negotiating a formal arrangement agreement.
The completion of the arrangement is subject to a number of conditions including TSX Venture Exchange acceptance, completion of the final agreement, approval of the arrangement by special resolution of the shareholders, approval by the "majority of the minority" of the shareholders and other applicable court and regulatory approvals.
