Carlin Gold Corp. Provides Corporate Update
Vancouver, June 27, 2023 - Carlin Gold Corp. (TSXV: CGD) (the "Company" or "Carlin") announces that that it has completed the previously announced consolidation of all of its issued and outstanding share capital on the basis of one (1) post-consolidated common share for every ten (10) pre-consolidated common shares (the "Consolidation"). Immediately prior to the Consolidation, the Company had 88,939,464 common shares issued and outstanding. Following the Consolidation and the Company's private placement of 5,050,000 units completed on June 16, 2023, the Company has 13,943,964 common shares issued and outstanding. The common shares will continue to be listed on the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Company's transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, has sent a letter of transmittal to the registered holders who hold their common shares in certificated form. The letter of transmittal contains instructions on how to surrender common share certificates representing pre-Consolidation common shares to the transfer agent. The transfer agent will forward to each registered holder who has sent the required documents a new common share certificate representing the number of post-Consolidation common shares to which the registered holder is entitled. Shareholders who hold their Shares in book entry form (through a broker or another intermediary), they will automatically receive their post-Consolidation common shares and they will not receive, or be required to submit, a letter of transmittal. Shareholders who hold their common shares through an intermediary are encouraged to contact their intermediaries if they have any questions.
The Company also announces that, further to its news release dated May 30, 2023, it intends to complete a shares-for-debt transaction to settle outstanding debts totaling $772,539 (the "Debt") owing to certain directors and officers of the Company (the "Creditors") for management fees (the "Debt Settlement"). The Creditors have agreed to reduce the Debt by $82,539 and that such Debt will be definitively extinguished by the issuance of an aggregate of 4,600,000 common shares of the Company (on a post-Consolidation basis) (the "Settlement Shares") at a deemed price of $0.15 per Settlement Share for an aggregate value of $690,000.
The Debt Settlement is subject to all necessary regulatory approvals, including acceptance from the TSXV. The Settlement Shares will be subject to a four-month hold period from the closing date under applicable Canadian securities laws, in addition to such other restrictions as may apply under applicable securities laws of jurisdictions outside Canada.
