Snowy Owl Gold Corp. Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire Boba Mint
Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, Boba will be a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Company (the "Resulting Issuer"). It is anticipated that the Resulting Issuer will be listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) and will carry on the business of Boba. The Company will be calling an annual and special meeting of shareholders to approve the Proposed Transaction before the end of 2022 and will file a notice of meeting and information circular as soon as practicable. A subsequent announcement will confirm the date for the meeting.
Summary of the Proposed Transaction
As previously disclosed on July 21, 2022, Boba is a corporation existing under the laws of British Columbia. Boba currently has (i) 163,787,000 common shares issued and outstanding; (ii) 24,250,000 common share purchase warrants issued to various consultants; and (iii) 1,609,000 common share purchase warrants issued to finders and brokers.
Consideration for the Proposed Transaction will be satisfied through the issuance to the shareholders of Boba of an aggregate of 163,787,000 common shares of the Company at a deemed issue price of $0.10 per share (the "Consideration Shares"), subject to all necessary regulatory and securityholder approvals. The Consideration Shares will be subject to the escrow requirements of the CSE. It is expected that Boba shareholders will hold an aggregate of 82% of the shares of the Company following closing of the Proposed Transaction, with shareholders of Snowy Owl holding the remaining 18%.
