Elissa Resources Ltd. and Spectrum Optix Inc. Provide Change of Business and General Update
Elissa continues to progress towards its COB as previously announced. Its filing statement, a requirement for transitioning from a Resource Issuer to a Technology Issuer on the TSX Venture Exchange, (the "Exchange") is nearing completion and is subject to Exchange review. It is expected to be filed under Elissa's profile at www.sedar.com prior to the end of November 2015.
Additionally, Haywood Securities Inc., Elissa's Sponsor for the COB, is currently completing its due diligence review leading to the filing of a Sponsorship Report with the Exchange.
Further to the binding letter of intent between Elissa and Spectrum dated November 2014, the Companies have finalized and executed formal agreements in respect of Elissa's option to acquire all of the shares of Spectrum. For further information regarding the terms of the transaction and the COB, please refer to Elissa's news release dated November 18, 2014 and the Companies' joint news release dated July 23, 2015. To date, Elissa has exercised its initial option to acquire shares representing a 6.6% equity interest in Spectrum.
Upon completion of the COB, Elissa intends to change its name to "Nexoptic Technology Corp.", or such other name as the Elissa board of directors may determine, and the Exchange will assign a new trading symbol at the time of the formal name change.
