Globex Plan of Arrangement Resolution Approved
ROUYN-NORANDA, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 10/22/12 -- GLOBEX MINING ENTERPRISES INC. (TSX: GMX)(FRANKFURT: G1M)(OTCQX: GLBXF) is pleased to announce that on October 19, 2012 a special meeting of shareholders was held in order to approve a special resolution (the "Arrangement Resolution"). The arrangement resolution was to approve the transfer of Globex's interest in ten mineral properties in the Chibougamau area of Quebec to Chibougamau Independent Mines Inc. ("CIM") in exchange for a 3% Gross Metal Royalty payable to Globex on any future production, and shares of CIM such that holders of Globex shares upon the "Effective Date" (yet to be determined) will receive 1 share of CIM for every share of Globex held.
The special resolution was passed with 10,894,078 shares (99.95%) voting in favour and one vote representing 5,379 shares (0.05%) voting against (Report of Voting Results published on Sedar on October 19, 2012). Therefore, Globex has the mandate to proceed with the spinout as outlined in the Notice of Special Meeting and Management Information Circular subject to authorizations and conditions presently being sought such as final approval of the transaction by the Quebec Superior Court, approval for listing by the TSXV, ruling by the Canada Revenue Agency on the tax neutral aspect of the transaction, etc.
Globex and CIM are planning financings to coincide with the final spinout with discussions well advanced.
SHORTING
On another related matter, Globex has noted that there has been a consistent shorting of our stock over the last several months since we announced plans to spinout our subsidiary, Chibougamau Independent Mines Inc. This has resulted in the stock price of Globex being lower than it would be otherwise. Thus planned financings will be at lower prices than would apply if the shorting were not occurring. This is a perfect example of the markets supporting gambling against the interest of investors. Building value for investors and creating jobs has clearly taken second place to market gambling under the rules and policies now in place.
I would point out to shareholders that in order to short stocks such as Globex, shorters must either have shares to cover the short or borrow shares from brokerage houses to do so. Brokerage houses can and will lend your stock to shorters, without informing you, if the stock is not registered in your name or held in a cash account. Thus shorters unbeknown to you may borrow your investment in order to devalue your investment. We would ask shareholders to consult their brokers, banks, etc. to make sure that your shares are held in a manner such that they cannot be lent to shorters. I have already done so.
