Fjordland Announces Allocation of Cost Base on Spin-Out Completion
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/15/11 -- Fjordland Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE: FEX) announces it has completed the spin-out of its interest in the Woodjam copper-gold project to Consolidated Woodjam Copper Corp. (TSX VENTURE: WCC) ("Woodjam Copper"), and Fjordland shareholders have been issued approximately 0.3784 of a Woodjam Copper share for each Fjordland share held as of the close of November 25, 2011, the effective date.
The Canadian federal income tax consequences of the spin-out transaction are summarized in the information circular of Fjordland dated September 1, 2011, as filed on the SEDAR website. In particular, shareholders should reduce the Adjusted Cost Base ("ACB") of Fjordland shares by an amount which should then be recorded as the acquisition cost of the Woodjam Copper shares. Management of Fjordland has calculated that the ACB of each post-spin-out common share of Fjordland should be reduced to 35.6% of its pre-spin-out ACB and that 64.4% of the ACB of each pre-spin-out common share of Fjordland should be recorded as the acquisition cost of each Woodjam Copper share. This fair value ACB adjustment calculation is based on the relative Fjordland and Woodjam Copper closing share prices for the five trading days from December 2, 2011 to December 8, 2011. No such determination of fair value by Fjordland is binding on the Canadian tax authorities.
