G2 Goldfields Inc. (TSX:GTWO) (OTCQX:GUYGF) is pleased to announce that it has filed the requisite notice setting the record and meeting date in respect of an annual and special meeting of shareholders of G2. At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to approve, among other things, a special resolution approving the Proposed Spin-Out (as defined below).
The record date for the determination of Shareholders eligible to attend and vote at the Meeting has been set as December 17, 2024, and the Meeting will be held on January 28, 2025.
The Proposed Spin-Out
G2 intends to undertake a reorganization transaction whereby it would, among other things, spin-out its non-core assets into a new wholly owned subsidiary, to be named G3 Goldfields Inc. The Proposed Spin-Out will be completed by way of a plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act and subject to the terms and conditions of an arrangement agreement to be entered into by the Company and G3.
Following completion of the Proposed Spin-out, the Non-Core Assets to be held by G3 will include:
G2 believes that its current share price does not fully recognize the value of the Non-Core Assets, and that by completing the Proposed Spin-Out, Shareholders will benefit from unlocking the value of the Non-Core Assets. Additionally, the Proposed Spin-Out will allow the Company to concentrate its efforts on its OKO project in Guyana, while G3 focuses on the advancement of the Non-Core Assets.
It is intended that, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Arrangement Agreement, each Shareholder will receive one G3 Share (as defined below) for every two shares of G2 held as of the effective date of the Arrangement. Only Shareholders as of the close of business on the effective date of the Arrangement will be entitled to shares of G3 upon closing of the Arrangement.
The Proposed Spin-Out will be subject to G2 entering into the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement being approved by Shareholders at the Meeting. Completion of the Arrangement will also be conditional on the receipt of regulatory and court approval, including, without limitation, the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange. It is intended that the G3 Shares will be listed on a recognized Canadian stock exchange and such listing will be subject to G3 fulfilling all of the requirements of such stock exchange.
Additional details relating to the Proposed Spin-Out will be provided when G2 enters into the Arrangement Agreement. They will also be included in the management information circular in respect of the Meeting to be filed and mailed to Shareholders at the beginning of January 2025. Copies of the management information circular and related meeting materials will also be filed with the applicable Canadian securities regulators and will be available on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca).
