![Magnitude Mining Ltd. Provides Update on Qualifying Transaction with Pucara Resources Corp.](https://www.minenportal.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
On March 11, 2020, Magnitude announced that it entered into an arrangement agreement dated March 10, 2020 (the "Arrangement Agreement") with Pucara Resources Corp. ("Pucara"), pursuant to which the parties have agreed to complete a business combination (the "Transaction") by way of statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Arrangement") that will have the effect of Magnitude acquiring all of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of Pucara (the "Pucara Shares").
The parties anticipated closing the Transaction on or before June 30, 2020, however, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Transaction has been delayed. Magnitude and Pucara have now agreed to and anticipate closing the Transaction on or before September 30, 2020.
Trading in Magnitude's common shares (the "Magnitude Shares") was halted in connection with the execution of the Arrangement Agreement on March 10, 2020. As of June 11, 2020, trading in the Magnitude Shares will be suspended for failing to complete a Qualifying Transaction within 24 months of Magnitude's listing and will remain suspended until the Transaction has been completed and the requisite approvals by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") have been obtained.
The Transaction remains subject to TSXV approval and is intended to constitute Magnitude's "Qualifying Transaction" in accordance with TSXV Policy 2.4 - Capital Pool Companies. The Transaction will result in Magnitude, as the listed issuer resulting from the Transaction (the "Resulting Issuer"), owning 100% of the securities of Pucara.
The TSXV has in no way passed upon the merits of the proposed Transaction and has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this press release.
