Boss Power Corp. and Anthem Resources Incorporated Announce Agreement to Merge
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/04/15 -- Boss Power Corp. (TSX VENTURE: BPU) ("Boss Power" or the "Company") and Anthem Resources Incorporated ("Anthem") (TSX VENTURE: AYN) are pleased to announce that they have entered into a letter of intent (the "LOI") with respect to a transaction pursuant to which Boss will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares (the "Anthem Shares") of Anthem and in which the 27,250,000 common shares of Boss held by Anthem would be cancelled. The transaction will be implemented by way of a statutory plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).
Anthem's CEO and President, Walter Coles, Jr., commented, "We are merging these two companies based on the proportionate share of the Boss settlement funds owned directly and indirectly by each company. The over-reaching goal of the transaction is to simplify the corporate structure and reduce costs."
Ron Netolitzky, the acting CEO of Boss, added that, "One of the few certainties in the mining industry is that it is a highly cyclical business. We are in the 4th year of a significant market downturn. There are currently an abundance of opportunities to acquire high quality mining assets at heavily discounted prices. The Board of Directors of the new merged company intends to carefully deploy capital to build a portfolio of mining assets in North America, so as to position for the inevitable market upturn."
Under the proposed terms of the transaction, Boss will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Anthem at a share exchange ratio of 0.75 of a common share of Boss for each common share of Anthem (the "Share Exchange Ratio"). The Arrangement is subject to, among other things:
Completion of the Arrangement is also subject to the approval of the British Columbia Supreme Court and the TSXV.
At the closing of the Arrangement, Boss expects that in addition to holding all of Anthem's marketable securities, it will have approximately $13.4 million of cash. Currently Anthem shareholders hold approximately 64.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of Boss, indirectly through their ownership of Anthem. Following the completion of the Arrangement, Anthem shareholders will directly hold approximately 64.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of Boss.
The Arrangement is expected to provide significant benefits for shareholders of Anthem and Boss, including:
Details of the Arrangement, including a summary of the terms and conditions of the Definitive Agreement once entered into, will be disclosed in a joint management information circular of Anthem and Boss which will be mailed to the securityholders of Anthem and Boss and will also be available on SEDAR at .
After taking into consideration, among other things, the terms of the Arrangement, the recommendation of a special committee of Anthem directors established to review the Arrangement and discussions with its financial advisors, Anthem's board of directors has concluded that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Anthem and has approved the LOI. Anthem's board of directors intends to recommend in the joint management information circular to be mailed in connection with the Anthem shareholder meeting that Anthem's shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement.
None of the securities to be issued have been or will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws, and any securities issued in the Arrangement are anticipated to be issued in reliance upon available exemptions from such registration requirements pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable exemptions under state securities laws.
