![Novadx Ventures Corp. Announces Terms of Special Warrant Financing and Consolidation](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
The Company also confirms that the previously announced proposed consolidation of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares (the "Consolidation") shall be completed on the basis of one (1) post-consolidated common share for every ten (10) pre-consolidated common shares.
The Special Warrants will be issued pursuant to a Special Warrant Indenture, with the Company's transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. (the "Warrant Agent"), acting as agent on behalf of Special Warrant holders (the "Holders"). Subject to the satisfaction of the Conversion Conditions (as defined below), each Special Warrant will entitle the Holder to acquire, without payment of additional consideration, one unit (each a "Unit") comprised of one post-consolidated common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant, on the date which is the earlier of (i) the fifth business day following the issuance of a receipt for a final prospectus qualifying the distribution of the Units (the "Prospectus") and (ii) the date which is four months and one day after issuance of the Special Warrants. Each whole share purchase warrant (a "Purchase Warrant") shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire an additional post-consolidated common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.65 per post-consolidated common share for a period of 5 years from the date of the issuance of the Special Warrants. The Company intends to apply to list the Purchase Warrants on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").
It is currently anticipated that Sandstorm Metals and Energy Ltd. ("Sandstorm") will subscribe for an aggregate number of Special Warrants under the Private Placement that, on conversion, will result in Sandstorm holding, when aggregated with the other securities of Novadx contemplated to be issued to Sandstorm, as described below, in excess of 20% of the aggregate issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. As a result, Sandstorm will become a new Control Person (the "Change of Control") of the Company requiring the approval of shareholders under the policies of the Exchange.
Conversion of the Special Warrants will be subject to the completion of the Consolidation and receipt of shareholder approval for the Change of Control (the "Conversion Conditions"). If the Conversion Conditions are not satisfied on or before the date that is 45 days from the closing (the "Closing") of the Private Placement, the Special Warrants shall expire and the Company shall refund the purchase price for the Special Warrants to the Holders. The Company has called an annual and general special meeting of its shareholders to be held on November 20, 2012, at which the Company, among other things, will seek approval for the Consolidation and the Change of Control.
In the event the Conversion Conditions are met, but the Company fails to obtain a receipt for the Prospectus on or before the date that is 60 days following the Closing, each unexercised Special Warrant will thereafter entitle the Holder to receive, upon the exercise or deemed exercise thereof, for no additional consideration, 1.10 Units (instead of one Unit) thereby entitling the Holder to 1.10 post-consolidated common shares and 0.55 Purchase Warrants.
Upon closing of the Private Placement, the Company will pay the Agent a fee equal to 6% of the aggregate cash proceeds of the Private Placement and warrants (the "Agent Warrants") to purchase Common Shares equal to 6% of the aggregate number of Special Warrants sold under the Private Placement. Each Agent Warrant shall be exercisable at a price of $0.50 per post-consolidation common share for a period of 24 months.
Closing of the Private Placement remains subject to the approval of the Exchange.
As previously announced in its September 21, 2012 news release, subject to the receipt of all requisite regulatory approvals and provided that the Company is successful in raising the Minimum Amount under the Private Placement, the Company also intends to issue an additional 200,000,000 Special Warrants to Sandstorm in connection with the restructuring of Sandstorm's existing coal stream agreements with the Company. In addition, Sandstorm has advanced the Company a secured credit facility (the "Credit Facility") of up to CDN $2 million to fund working capital requirements until satisfaction of the Conversion Conditions. Subject to the approval of the Exchange, the Company intends to issue up to 40,000,000 Special Warrants to Sandstorm in satisfaction of the outstanding amount due to Sandstorm under the Credit Facility.
