VANCOUVER, BC, July 5, 2023 /CNW/ - SKRR Exploration Inc. (TSXV: SKRR) (FSE: B04Q) ("SKRR" or the "Company") announces that, further to its news release of June 6, 2023, the Company will complete a consolidation of the issued and outstanding common shares immediately prior to the closing of the Offering (as defined below) on the basis of five (5) existing common shares for one (1) post-consolidation common share (the "Consolidation").
Effective at the opening of the market on Monday, July 10, 2023, the Company's common shares will trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") on a consolidated basis (with new CUSIP number 78446Q209 and new ISIN number CA78446Q2099). The Company's name and trading symbols will remain unchanged.
Shareholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or in "street name" are not required to take any action to effect an exchange of their shares. Registered shareholders will receive a letter of transmittal from Computershare Investor Services Inc., the Company's transfer agent. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how registered shareholders can exchange their share certificates representing pre-consolidation shares for new certificates representing post-consolidation shares. Until surrendered, each share certificate representing pre-consolidation shares will represent the number of whole post-consolidation shares to which the holder is entitled as a result of the consolidation.
The Consolidation will reduce the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company from 76,276,702 to 15,255,340 common shares. Upon completion of the Consolidation and the Offering, 15,710,340 common shares of the Company will be issued and outstanding. The exercise or conversion price of warrants and stock options and the number of common shares issuable thereunder will also be proportionately adjusted pursuant to the Consolidation. The number of post-Consolidated common shares received will be rounded up to the nearest whole number for fractions of 0.5 or greater and rounded down to the nearest whole number for fractions of less than 0.5. Pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and the Articles of the Company, the Consolidation was approved by way of resolutions passed by the board of directors of the Company and approved by the Exchange.
Private Placement
After the Consolidation, the Company will close a non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") for aggregate gross proceeds of $105,000, consisting of 280,000 flow-through units of the Company (each, a "FT Unit") at a price of $0.25 per FT Unit and 175,000 units of the Company (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.20 per Unit.
Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company ("Unit Share") and one common share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each FT Unit consists of one common share of the Company to be issued as a "flow-through share" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (a "FT Share") and one Warrant. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company (a "Warrant Share") at a post-Consolidation price of $0.30 at any time on or before the date which is 36 months following the closing of the Offering.
Additional details regarding the Offering will be provided in a subsequent news release upon the closing of the Offering. The closing of the Offering is subject to the final approval of the Exchange.
