JAX-TSX.V
VANCOUVER, March 7, 2014 /CNW/ - Further to the Company's news release
of February 12, 2014, the Company announces that it has closed its
securities exchange with Global Resources Investment Trust plc
("GRIT").
The Company issued 2,500,000 common shares at $0.115 per share to GRIT,
in exchange for 159,016 ordinary shares of GRIT (the "GRIT Shares"), at
the deemed price of £1.00 per GRIT Share. The securities issued to GRIT
are subject to resale restrictions expiring July 8, 2014.
The Company will now seek to sell the GRIT Shares through the facilities
of the London Stock Exchange. During the first six months, all sales
of GRIT Shares will be arranged by GRIT. While the Company will seek to
maximize the proceeds it receives from the sale of its GRIT Shares,
there is no assurance as to the timing of disposition or the amount
that will be realized. Funds realized from the sale of the GRIT Shares
will be used by the Company for working capital purposes.
The GRIT Shares were distributed pursuant to a prospectus published by
GRIT in the UK on February 28, 2014. GRIT's application to list its
ordinary shares on the premium listing segment of the Official List and
to trade on the London Stock Exchange's main market became effective
today. GRIT's distribution of the GRIT Shares to the Company and other
Canadian based issuers was also made pursuant to a discretionary
exemption order granted by the Ontario and British Columbia Securities
Commissions by order dated November 13, 2013.
GRIT has been established to exploit investment opportunities in the
junior mining and natural resources sectors worldwide, with an
investment objective to generate medium and long-term capital
growth. GRIT has conducted share exchange transactions with 41 junior
resource companies (32 headquartered in Canada), acquiring an initial
portfolio of their securities in exchange for 39,520,012 ordinary
shares having a deemed value of £39,520,012 (approximately
C$73,250,000).
A finder's fee commensurate with TSX Venture Exchange policies will be
paid.
