THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO ANY UNITED STATES NEWS SERVICES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAW.
Canadian Phoenix Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CXP) ("Canadian Phoenix") today announced that it will proceed with the previously approved share consolidation and name change. On the effective date, the currently outstanding class A common shares of Canadian Phoenix (the "Common Shares") will be consolidated on the basis of one new Common Share for ten existing Common Shares (the "Consolidation"), and the Canadian Phoenix's name will be changed to "Knol Resources Corp." (the "Name Change"). In the event that the number of existing Common Shares held by a shareholder is not evenly divisible by ten, the number of post-Consolidation Common Shares issued to such shareholder shall rounded up to the next greater whole number if the fractional entitlement is equal to or greater than 0.5 and shall be rounded down to the next lesser whole number if the fractional entitlement is less than .05.
Canadian Phoenix presently has 56,964,818 Common Shares issued and outstanding. Upon giving effect to the Consolidation, Canadian Phoenix will have 5,696,482 Common Shares issued and outstanding (subject to fractional rounding). Canadian Phoenix believes that the Consolidation is necessary to attract ongoing investment.
The Consolidation and Name Change were approved by the shareholders at a special meeting of shareholders held on December 13, 2012. The Consolidation and Name Change are subject to TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") approval. Canadian Phoenix expects that the trading of its common shares on the TSXV under the name "Knol Resources Corp." and symbol "NOL" will commence on or about March 11, 2013.
