Gowest Shareholders Approve $8 Million Investment by Fortune Future Holdings Limited

 

 

 

 

 

Gowest Gold Ltd. (TSX-V:GWA) announced today that it has obtained all required shareholder approvals necessary to close on its previously announced issuance and sale of common shares to Fortune Future Holdings Limited for aggregate gross proceeds of $8,000,000.  For further details concerning the Private Placement, please refer to the press release of the Corporation dated April 8, 2019.

 

Pursuant to the Private Placement, the Corporation intends to issue and sell to Fortune an aggregate of 17,777,777 common shares at a price of $0.45 per share on a post-Consolidation basis (being equal to 177,777,777 common shares at a price of $0.045 per share on a pre-Consolidation basis).  The Private Placement is subject to the completion of a consolidation of the outstanding common shares of the Corporation on a one for ten basis, prior to the closing of the Private Placement.  Pursuant to the proposed Consolidation, holders of common shares of the Corporation will receive one post-Consolidation common share in exchange for every ten pre-Consolidation common shares outstanding immediately prior to the Consolidation.

 

At an annual and special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation held yesterday  the Corporation received “majority of the minority” approval of shareholders for the Private Placement and approval of a special resolution of shareholders for the Consolidation.  The Private Placement and Consolidation received 99.1% and 97.5% approval, respectively, from shareholders entitled to vote in respect of each matter.

 

The Private Placement was subject to the approval of shareholders of the Corporation, other than Fortune (and any related parties of Fortune), pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions, as the Private Placement will constitute a “related party transaction” of the Corporation under MI 61-101.  Minority approval of shareholders was also required pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange and the shareholder rights plan of the Corporation.

 

The Corporation intends to implement the Consolidation and close the Private Placement as soon as possible.  Additional information concerning the Consolidation and the closing of the Private Placement will be provided in due course.

 

The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used by the Corporation for the continued development of the Corporation’s 100%-owned Bradshaw Gold Deposit (Bradshaw). The proceeds of the Private Placement alone will not be sufficient to bring Bradshaw into commercial production.  The Corporation is continuing to pursue additional financing opportunities to cover this anticipated funding shortfall and also to advance, in parallel, exploration opportunities both at and near Bradshaw.

 

All of the securities issuable in connection with the Offering will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day after date of issuance.  Completion of the Private Placement remains subject to receipt of the approval of the TSX-V.

 

The securities offered have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.  This release does not constitute an offer for sale of securities in the United States.

 

At the Meeting, the following individuals were re-elected as directors of the Corporation:  Gregory Romain; C. Fraser Elliott; Peter Quintiliani; Larry Phillips; John Frostiak; Yungang Wu; Meirong Yuan; and Demin (Fleming) Huang.
