Spark Energy Minerals Inc. Announces Share Consolidation
SPARK ENERGY MINERALS INC. ANNOUNCES SHARE CONSOLIDATION
VANCOUVER, BC / STOCKWATCH / July 31, 2023 / Spark Energy Minerals Inc., (“Spark” or the
“Company” (CSE: EMIN) (Frankfurt: J8V) (OTC: MTEHF)), announces that further to its press release of
July 1, 2023, management of the Corporation has implemented the consolidation of the fully paid and issued
common shares of the Company on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation common share for each ten
(10) pre-consolidation common shares (the “Consolidation Ratio”) issued and outstanding (the
“Consolidation”) as approved by the directors of the Corporation on June 26, 2023.
As at July 31, 2023, there were a total of 143,120,343 common shares issued and outstanding. The exact
number of post-Consolidation common shares to be issued will depend on the number of fractional shares
that will result from the Consolidation, as no fractional post-Consolidation common shares will be issued.
All fractional common shares resulting from the Consolidation will be rounded down to the nearest whole
number and no cash will be paid in lieu of fractional post-Consolidation common shares. Accordingly, the
total number of common shares issued and outstanding after the Consolidation is expected to be
14,312,035 (subject to fractional rounding).
Additionally, the number of common shares issuable pursuant to the Corporation’s stock option plan,
warrants and convertible securities will be adjusted, such that the number of consolidated common shares
issuable and the exercise price of the outstanding options, warrants or convertible securities will be adjusted
by the Consolidation Ratio.
Subject to the final approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange, the Consolidation is scheduled to be
effective at opening of the CSE on August 3, 2023, from which date the existing issued share capital will
be cancelled and replaced by the new consolidated common shares.
Letters of transmittal with respect to the Consolidation were mailed to all registered Shareholders of record
as at August 4, 2023. Registered Shareholders will be required to send their respective certificates
representing pre-Consolidation common shares along with a properly executed letter of transmittal to the
Corporation’s transfer agent, Odyssey Trust Corporation (“Odyssey”), all in accordance with the instruction
provided in the letter of transmittal. All Shareholders who submit a duly completed letter of transmittal, along
with their respective pre-Consolidation common share certificate(s) or DRS Advice to the Depositary -
Odyssey Trust Corporation., will receive a post-Consolidation DRS Advice representing their new post-
Consolidation common shares. Non-registered Shareholders should follow the instructions of their broker
or other intermediary. The letter of transmittal has also been posted on Sedar.
The Consolidation is being implemented in order to provide the Company with increased flexibility for the
continued development of its business and the growth of the Company, including financing arrangements
and is subject to the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange. The Company will not change its name
as part of the Consolidation.
