Green Light Metals Inc. Announces Execution of Amalgamation Agreement with Can-America Minerals Inc.
Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – December 16, 2021) – Green Light Metals Inc. (“Green Light” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an amalgamation agreement dated December 14, 2021 (the “Amalgamation Agreement“) by and among the Company, Can-America Minerals Inc. (“Can-America“) and 1328592 B.C. Ltd. (“Subco“), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to which, Green Light will acquire Can-America by way of a three-cornered amalgamation (the “Proposed Transaction“). Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, the combined entity will continue to carry on the business of Can-America.
Terms of Proposed Transaction
Under the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement, the Proposed Transaction will be completed by way of a three-cornered amalgamation under the laws of British Columbia, whereby Subco and Can-America will amalgamate (post continuance under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia)), with Subco surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Green Light. Immediately prior to or concurrently with closing of the Proposed Transaction, the Company is expected to change its name to “GreenLight Metals Inc.” Following completion of the Proposed Transaction, the resulting entity will hold all of Can-America’s assets. Can-America’s portfolio includes ownership or control of mineral properties in Wisconsin and Nevada.
Pursuant to the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement, completion of the Proposed Transaction will be subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, closing conditions customary to transactions of the nature of the Proposed Transaction, completion or waiver of sponsorship requirement of the TSXV, requisite shareholder approvals including the approval of the holders of common shares of Can-America for the Proposed Transaction, approvals of all regulatory bodies having jurisdiction in connection with the Proposed Transaction and conditional approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV“) for the listing of the common shares of the resulting entity upon completion of the amalgamation between Subco and Can-America, including the satisfaction of its initial listing requirements. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.
A filing statement will be prepared and filed in accordance with the policies of the TSXV. The Company and Can-America will provide further details in respect of the Proposed Transaction in due course and will make available all information, including financial information as required by the TSXV and will provide, in a press release to be disseminated at a later date, the required disclosure.
Private Placement
As a condition to completing the Proposed Transaction, the Company and Can-America intend to complete a private placement of subscription receipts of Can-America for gross proceeds of at least $4 million (the “Concurrent Financing“). Each Can-America subscription receipt will automatically convert into class “A” common shares in the capital of Can-America (the “Can-America Shares“) immediately prior to the effective time of the amalgamation, on the basis of one Can-America Share for each outstanding subscription receipt.
Change in Officers
The Company also announces that the board of directors of the Company has appointed David Carew as CFO and Corporate Secretary of the Company. Mr. Carew had been serving as the Company’s VP, Corporate Development and Investor Relations and Corporate Secretary. The Company thanks its outgoing interim CFO Stephanie Malec, who had been providing services to the Company in connection with a shared services agreement with Aquila Resources Inc. (“Aquila“) that was terminated on December 10, 2021 concurrent with the acquisition of Aquila by Gold Resource Corporation.
