RICHMOND ROAD CAPITAL CORP. ANNOUNCES UPDATE ON QUALIFYING
TRANSACTION
NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH U.S. NEWS WIRES
CALGARY, JUNE 22, 2021 – Richmond Road Capital Corp. (“RRCC” or the “Company”) (TSXV:
RRD.P) is pleased to announce, further to its press releases of January 11, 2021, February 25, 2021, and
April 8, 2021 that it has received conditional listing approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the
“TSXV”) in connection with its proposed arm’s length qualifying transaction (the “Qualifying
Transaction”) by way of plan of merger under the laws of the British Virgin Islands with Fredonia
Management Limited (“Fredonia”).
Pursuant to TSXV policies, the Company has filed a filing statement on Form 3B2 under its profile on
www.SEDAR.com. The Company expects that closing of the Qualifying Transaction will occur on June
24, 2021.
RRCC is also pleased to announce that it has received TSXV approval for the consolidation of the common
shares (the “Common Shares”) of the Company (the “Consolidation”). The shareholders of the Company
previously approved a special resolution authorizing the Board of Directors to consolidate the Common
Shares of the Company in connection with the Qualifying Transaction. The Board of Directors has
confirmed the Company’s intention to proceed with a consolidation at a ratio of one (new) Common Share
for every 1.36 outstanding (old) Common Shares (the “Consolidation Ratio”). In addition, the Company
will change its name to “Fredonia Mining Inc.” in conjunction with the Qualifying Transaction (the “Name
Change”). The new ISIN number for the Common Shares on a post-Name Change and post-Consolidation
basis is CA3560631077 and the new CUSIP number is 356063107. Prior to the Consolidation, there are
6,000,000 Common Shares and 600,000 options to purchase Common Shares outstanding; after giving
effect to the Consolidation there will be approximately 4,411,765 Common Shares and 441,176 options to
purchase Common Shares outstanding.
The shares are expected to begin trading on the TSXV on a post-Consolidation, post-Name Change basis
following completion of the Qualifying Transaction. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with
the Consolidation. Shares held in uncertificated form by nonregistered shareholders through brokerage
accounts will be consolidated at the Consolidation Ratio through each shareholder’s brokerage accounts.
Non-registered shareholders should consult their broker for further information.
Final acceptance of the Qualifying Transaction will occur upon the issuance of the Final Exchange Bulletin
(the “Exchange Bulletin”) by the TSXV. Subject to final approval by the TSXV, RRCC will no longer be
a capital pool company and will be classified as a Tier 2 Mining Issuer trading under the symbol “FRED”.
RRCC will issue a news release once the TSXV issues the Exchange Bulletin and will advise of the expected
listing date when known.
Trading
Trading in RRCC's Common Shares has been halted in compliance with the policies of the TSXV. It is not
expected that trading in RRCC's Common Shares will resume prior to the closing of the Qualifying
Transaction.
