JAYDEN TO DISTRIBUTE ASCOT COMMON SHARES
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – December 10, 2018 – Jayden Resources Inc. (“ Jayden”)
(TSX-V: JDN) is pleased to announce that it intends to distribute to its shareholders, by way of a
dividend (the “ Dividend”), 0.1696284 of a common share (the “Ascot Shares ”) of Ascot
Resources Ltd. (“Ascot”) for each common share of Jayden (or 1 Ascot Share for every
5.8952379 Jayden common shares), subject to adjustment for certain taxes which Jayden may be
required to withhold. The Dividend is based on the 15,179,497 Asc ot Shares received for
Jayden’s Silver Coin Property divided by Jayden’s current 89,486,746 issued and outstanding
common shares. The record date for determining Jayden shareholders entitled to participate in
the distribution has been fixed at January 4, 2019. The Dividend is subject to change before the
record date if certain outstanding convertible securities of Jayden are exercised prior to that date.
The distribution of the Ascot Shares will be done in accordance with the applicable “Due Bill”
trading procedures of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”).
The payment date for th e distribution will be January 21, 2019 (the “Payment Date”). Jayden’s
common shares will be traded in accordance with the “Due Bill” procedures from January 3 ,
2019 until the closing of trading on the Payment Date (the “Due Bill Basis Period”). Any trades
executed on the TSXV during the Due Bill Basis Period will be identified to ensure that
purchasers of Jayden’s common shares receive entitlement to the Dividend. Sellers of Jayd en’s
common shares during the Due Bill Basis Period will also sell their entitlement to the Dividend
to the respective purchasers of such common shares. Jayden’s shares will commence trading on
an “ex” basis without an attached Due Bill entitlement to the Dividend from the opening of
trading on January 22, 2019, the next trading day after the Payment Date. The last day for
settlement of trades during the Due Bill Basis Period will be January 23, 2019 which is the
Dividend Due Bill redemption date.
Jayden and Ascot had originally agreed that Jayden would distribute the Ascot Shares within 60
days of closing the sale of the Silver Coin Property (see Jayden’s October 31, 2018 news
release). At the request of Jayden, Ascot granted an extension to distribute the Ascot Shares by
January 31, 2019.
No Ascot Shares will be distributed to Jayden shareholders who are “U.S. Persons” as such term
is defined in rule 902(o) of Regulation S promulgated under the United States Securities Act of
1933 (as amended). Rather, J ayden will pay shareholders who are U.S. Persons a cash amount
calculated by reference to the fair market value on the distribution date of the Ascot Shares
which would otherwise be distributed to such shareholders (less applicable withholding taxes and
selling commissions).
Shareholders are advised to consult with their own tax advisors in relation to the tax implications
to them of the Dividend.
