Saint Jean Carbon Consolidation of Common Shares

OAKVILLE, Ontario, May 31, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Saint Jean Carbon Inc. (“Saint Jean” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:SJL) (OTCQB:TORVF) is pleased to announce that the shareholders of the Company approved consolidation of its Common Shares on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation Common Share for every four (4) pre-consolidation Common Shares (the “Share Consolidation”) at the Annual General and Special Meeting of the Shareholders held on May 25, 2018 (the “Meeting”).

Subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”), at the Meeting the shareholders approved the Share Consolidation and granted the Board of Directors the authority to implement the Share Consolidation or, in its discretion, revoke the special resolution and abandon the Share Consolidation without further approval or action or prior notice to the shareholders. At this time, the Board of Directors believes it is in the Company’s best interest to proceed with the Share Consolidation as it is necessary in order to facilitate future equity financings by the Company.

The Share Consolidation will not materially affect any shareholder’s percentage ownership in the Company, even though such ownership will be represented by a smaller number of Common Shares. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Share Consolidation. If, as a result of the Share Consolidation, the holder becomes entitled to a fractional share, such fraction will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. As of the date of this news release, the Company has 249,120,130 Common Shares issued and outstanding. After giving effect to the Share Consolidation, the Company will have approximately 62,280,032 Common Shares issued and outstanding. The Company will not be changing its name in conjunction with the Share Consolidation.

The proposed Share Consolidation remains subject to the approval and acceptance by the TSXV. The Company will be applying to the TSXV for approval of the Share Consolidation as soon as practicable and assuming the approval of the TSXV is obtained the Company will provide an update as to the timing of the Share Consolidation.
