TORONTO, Dec. 22, 2017 /CNW/ - MillenMin Ventures Inc.
(TSX-V:MVM) ("MillenMin") announces that the escrow release deadline of the subscription receipts distributed by MillenMin on
July 7, 2017 has been extended from December 31, 2017 to September 30, 2018.
The subscription receipts were distributed by MillenMin in a private placement in which 241,919,000 subscription receipts at a
price of $0.10 per subscription receipt were issued for gross proceeds of US$18,347,997.
The gross proceeds from the subscription receipt offering are held in escrow pending satisfaction of certain escrow release
conditions including receipt of Cuban regulatory approvals required in connection with the transaction for the vend-in of the 49%
interest of a Cuban joint stock company to develop a golf resort in Cuba (the "Vend-in
Transaction").
As the Cuban regulatory approvals that are required to be obtained prior to the release of the escrowed proceeds are expected
to take additional time and are not expected to be obtained before the current deadline, the parties agreed to extend the
relevant deadlines, including in the general termination provisions in the Vend-in Agreement, to September
30, 2018. The holders of the subscription receipts have approved this extension.
Prior to this extension, if the escrow release conditions were not satisfied by December 31,
2017, the escrowed proceeds would have to be used to repurchase the subscription receipts from the subscription receipt
holders for cancellation.
Trading of the MillenMin shares remains halted on the TSX Venture Exchange and it is expected that the trading halt will
continue until submissions to the TSX Venture Exchange for the Vend-in Transaction have been completed to the satisfaction of the
TSX Venture Exchange or until it determines otherwise in its discretion.
