Interbit Holding Virtual-Only Annual and Special Meeting in Connection With Proposed Change of Business Transaction
Amongst annual meeting matters, at the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider the recently proposed "Change of Business" transaction ("COB Transaction") of the Company with the result that the Company will become a Tier 2 mining issuer on the TSX Venture Exchange, and a related consolidation and name change.
"The Company is proposing this "Change of Business" to the mining sector in an effort to maximize shareholder value and deliver exceptional returns to our Shareholders over the next 3-5 years by taking advantage of the unique set of circumstances that management and the Board expects will develop in the gold and other metals markets resulting from government responses to current challenges through the issuance of debt and printing of money," said Brian Hinchcliffe, Executive Chairman and CEO of the Company. "Management is very experienced in the mining sector and has previously acquired and developed mining assets in times of geopolitical opportunity."
The Company also announces today the filing and publication of its Management Information Circular (the "Circular") issued in connection with the Meeting, and which sets forth the full details of the COB Transaction. A copy of the Circular can be obtained from the Company`s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com and on the Company`s website at www.interbit.io.
