Goldmoney Announces Update Relating to Menē Inc.
Goldmoney Inc. (TSX: XAU) (“Goldmoney”), a precious metal financial service and technology company provides the following
update in connection with its 35% shareholding in the luxury e-commerce jewelry company Menē Inc. (“Menē”), as previously
announced on June 15, 2017 and December 1, 2017.
Conditional Approval and Submission to Shareholders for Approval
Goldmoney is pleased to announce that Menē has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the
“Exchange”) for the proposed reverse take-over transaction between Menē and Amador Gold Corp. (“Amador”), subject to
the satisfaction of certain conditions, including obtaining shareholders’ approval for the transaction from both Menē and Amador
and final acceptance from the Exchange. Upon completion of the reverse take-over transaction, the subordinate voting shares
(“Class B Shares”) of Menē will be listed on the TSXV under the stock symbol: MENE as early as October 2018.
Spinning off Goldmoney Inc. Stake in Menē to Shareholders
As part of its long-term spin-off strategy disclosed in its December 1, 2017 press release, the Board of Directors of Goldmoney
Inc. may choose to complete a return of stated capital by distributing its currently held Menē Class B Shares, in whole or in part,
to shareholders of Goldmoney on a pro rata basis. At the next annual and special meeting of shareholders to be held on October 1,
2018, the shareholders of Goldmoney will be asked to vote on a special resolution to authorize Goldmoney to reduce its stated
capital by distributing Class B shares in the capital of Menē that Goldmoney owns on a pro rata basis to all shareholders of
Goldmoney (the “Return of Stated Capital Shares”) from time to time. This resolution will permit Goldmoney Inc. to complete
such distributions in the future as shares of MENE begin to trade.
The Return of Stated Capital Shares is subject to the receipt of all required regulatory approvals by Goldmoney, approval of the
shareholders of Goldmoney and the completion of the reverse take-over transaction between Menē and Amador. The Board of Goldmoney
may in its sole discretion decide not to proceed with the Return of Stated Capital Shares and there is no guarantee the Return of
Stated Capital Shares will occur. Further details regarding the Return of Stated Capital Shares can be found in Goldmoney’s
management information circular dated August 27, 2018, which has been filed with applicable securities regulatory authorities and
can be accessed at
