The Company’s name and trading symbol will remain the same. Shareholder approval of the consolidation is not required under the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) nor under the Articles of the Company.
The Board of Directors determined the Consolidation is necessary in order for the Company to raise capital and for new projects and working capital to maintain their CSE listing requirements.
The Consolidation is subject to CSE review and approval. The Company will obtain a new CUSIP / ISIN number for its common shares as a result of the Consolidation and will conduct a transmittal process for registered shareholders following the effective date of the Consolidation.
