VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/29/11 -- Full Metal Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: FMM) and Full Metal Zinc Ltd. today announced that Full Metal Minerals shareholders have approved the spin-out transaction involving Full Metal Zinc, and the British Columbia Supreme Court has granted its final order in respect of the transaction. Monday, July 4, 2011 is expected to be the last trading day to acquire Full Metal Minerals shares on the TSX Venture Exchange and still receive common shares of Full Metal Zinc on the closing of the spin-out. The complete expected timetable for the closing is outlined below, subject to final TSX Venture Exchange approval:
-- Monday, July 4, 2011 - Last day to acquire Full Metal Minerals shares on
the TSX Venture Exchange and still receive Full Metal Zinc shares on the
closing of the spin-out.
-- Tuesday, July 5, 2011 through Thursday, July 7, 2011 - Trading of Full
Metal Minerals shares on the TSX Venture Exchange will be halted.
-- Friday, July 8, 2011 - Spin-out transaction and non-brokered private
placement of Full Metal Zinc closes (see below). Full Metal Minerals
shareholders of record as at 12:01 a.m. on July 8, 2011 will be entitled
to receive Full Metal Zinc securities. Trading of Full Metal Minerals
shares on the TSX Venture Exchange will open on a consolidated basis
(see below).
-- Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - Trading in Full Metal Zinc shares expected to
commence on the TSX Venture Exchange at market open under the trading
symbol FZ (subject to final TSX Venture Exchange approval).
Under the spin-out transaction, Full Metal Minerals shareholders of record reflected as at 12:01 a.m. on July 8, 2011 on the register of shareholders maintained by the Full Metal Minerals registrar and transfer agent will be mailed certificates representing 1/6 of one common share of Full Metal Zinc for every one common share of Full Metal Minerals held at such time.
As a mechanical step of the spin-out transaction, the authorized share structure of Full Metal Minerals will also be amended, including by way of a 1-for-3 consolidation, ultimately resulting in each pre-consolidation common share of Full Metal Minerals being exchanged for 1/3 of one post-consolidation Class A common share of Full Metal Minerals. Certificates formerly representing pre-consolidation common shares of Full Metal Minerals will from and after the effective time of the spin-out transaction represent post-consolidation Class A common shares of Full Metal Minerals. Any future issuance of certificates representing Class A common shares of Full Metal Minerals will use the new form of certificates with ISIN CA 35968C4064. A letter of transmittal containing instructions with respect to the deposit of certificates for pre-consolidation common shares of Full Metal Minerals with Computershare Investor Services Inc. will be forwarded to registered holders of record as at 12:01 a.m. on July 8, 2011 of pre-consolidation common shares of Full Metal Minerals for use in exchanging their certificates for certificates representing post-consolidation Class A common shares of Full Metal Minerals. Upon return of a properly completed letter of transmittal, together with certificates representing pre-consolidation common shares of Full Metal Minerals and such other documents as Computershare Investor Services Inc. may require, certificates for the appropriate number of post-consolidation Class A common shares of Full Metal Minerals will be distributed.
In connection with the completion of the spin-out transaction, Full Metal Zinc expects to complete a non-brokered financing of approximately 8,800,000 units of Full Metal Zinc at a price of $0.25 per unit for gross proceeds of $2,200,000. Each unit will be comprised of one common share of Full Metal Zinc and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of Full Metal Zinc, each whole such warrant exercisable for one additional common share of Full Metal Zinc at a price of $0.35 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance, subject to adjustment. Full Metal Zinc may pay finder's fees in cash and/or securities of Full Metal Zinc in connection with the financing.
Full Metal Minerals and Full Metal Zinc are filing on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com an updated fully-independent National Instrument 43-101 technical report with respect to the 40 Mile project in Alaska that will be indirectly assigned to Full Metal Zinc in connection with the spin-out transaction.
