Acquisition Agreement
Effective December 13, 2010, the Company entered into a binding acquisition agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") with LLC UK Dalsvetmet ("DZM"), an arm's length private Russian Federation corporation and Diascia Investments Limited, a directly and indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of White Tiger Gold incorporated in the Republic of Cyprus. Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, White Tiger Gold will acquire four wholly-owned subsidiaries of DZM and DZM's entire 80% interest in a fifth subsidiary (the "Acquisition"). For further information regarding the Acquisition, see the press release of the Company dated November 11, 2010 and the Acquisition Agreement, copies of each of which are available under the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
The Acquisition Agreement, which supersedes the pre-acquisition agreement between White Tiger Gold and DZM dated November 11, 2010, includes customary representations and warranties of each of White Tiger Gold and DZM in favour of the other, and such other terms, covenants and conditions as are customary for transactions of this nature. Completion of the Acquisition is subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all required third party and regulatory approvals. The Acquisition is expected to be completed on or about December 17, 2010.
TSX Conditional Approval
The Company is also pleased to announce that it has received conditional approval to list its common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"), subject to the Company fulfilling all of the requirements of the TSX prior to March 8, 2011. If listed, the Company's common shares will trade under the symbol "WTG".
Stock Option Plan
At the Meeting, shareholders also voted unanimously to approve a stock option plan (the "Plan") for the Company. Under the Plan, the aggregate number of common shares of the Company issuable pursuant to stock options may not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of common shares issued and outstanding (calculated on a non-diluted basis) from time to time. Persons eligible to receive stock options under the Plan include, subject to all applicable laws, directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company, affiliated entities (as defined in the Plan), companies providing management or administrative consulting services to the Company and permitted assigns of the foregoing persons. Under the terms of the Plan, the number of common shares (i) issued to insiders of the Company, within any one-year period, and (ii) issuable to insiders of the Company, at any time, under the Plan, or when combined with all of the Company's other security-based compensation arrangements, shall not exceed 10.0% of the Company's total issued and outstanding common shares, respectively. For further information regarding the Plan, including a copy of the Plan, see the management information circular of the Company dated November 11, 2010, a copy of which is available under the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
