Canadian Metals Inc. CSE: CME
CANADIAN METALS ANNOUNCES INTENTION TO CONSOLIDATE ITS SHARES
July 15, 2019 Montréal, Québec. - Canadian Metals Inc. (“CME” or the “Company”)
(CSE: CME) announces its intention to seek the necessary approvals to consolidate its
common shares.
The benefit of the planned consolidation is to reduce further dilution at current price when
future financing is required to advance the large Iron deposits optioned recently (see press
release dated July 8th, 2019 ). The Company’s recent acquisition of three large Iron
deposits located on the North shore of Quebec is a major step forward. The Company is
positioning itself as a leader in developing high quality Iron deposits containing a
conceptual resource of more than 2.4 Bt of Iron (Fe) at approximately 30%.
The Company has called a special meeting of common shareholders (the “ Meeting”) for
Wednesday, September 4th, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time). CME shareholders will
be asked to consider and approve a share consolidation (the “ Consolidation”) on the
basis of one new common share of the Company (each, a “ New Share”) for up to every
ten existing common shares of the Company (each, an “Existing Share”).
For example, the current number of shares of the Company that has been issued and
outstanding will be reduced from 132,291,193 existing shares as of the date hereof down
to approximately 13,229,119 New shares based on a 10:1 consolidation . Existing Stock
options, warrants and the current debentures will also be reduced by up 10 times as well.
Approval of the special resolution by shareholders would give the board of directors’
authority to implement the consolidation of the common shares at its discretion, including
at a lower ratio than one for 10. In addition, notwithstanding approval of the special
resolution by shareholders, the board of directors may revoke it and abandon the
consolidation without any prior notice to shareholders or any approval by them.
The board of directors is of the opinion that the consolidation will provide the corporation
with greater flexibility as it could lead to increased interest by a wider audience of potential
investors and could better position the corporation to obtain financing and pursue future
opportunities.
The procedure for implementing the Consolidation and the full text resolution approving
the Consolidation will be available in the Company’s management information circular (the
“Circular”) that will be mailed to shareholders and available under the Company’s profile
LEGAL_31534322.1
on SEDAR. The Consolidation remains subject to shareholder approval and acceptance
by the Canadian Securities Exchange.
