Chieftain Metals Inc. Announces Shareholder Approval of Internal Reorganization and Results of Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders

16.05.2013  |  Marketwired
Provides Update With Respect to Existing Memorandum of Understanding

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired - May 15, 2013) - Chieftain Metals Inc. ("Chieftain" or the "Company") (TSX:CFB) today announced that, at the Company's annual and special meeting of shareholders held today (the "AGM"), shareholders approved by special resolution the internal corporate reorganization of the Company by way of Plan of Arrangement (the "Arrangement"), previously announced on April 16, 2013 and involving the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Chieftain Metals Corp. ("Holding Company"). The Arrangement was approved by shareholders with 10,800,386 Company common shares voted in favour of the Arrangement (representing approximately 99.9% of voted shares) and 5,600 Chieftain common shares voted against (representing approximately 0.1% of voted shares).

As disclosed in the Company's management information circular dated April 15, 2013 and sent to shareholders in connection with the AGM (the "Circular"), the Company obtained an interim order from the Superior Court of Justice of Ontario (the "Court") regarding the Arrangement on April 12, 2013 and the Company will be seeking the final order from the Court to approve the Arrangement on May 17, 2013. If the Arrangement is approved, then, subject to the filing of final documentation with and the final approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"), the Company expects that the Arrangement will become effective on or about May 22, 2013, which will result in, among other things, the exchange of securities of the Company on a one-for-one basis for equivalent securities of Holding Company, and Chieftain becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holding Company. At such time, it is expected that the common shares of Holding Company will be listed on the TSX on a substitutional basis for the common shares of the Company and will trade on the TSX under Chieftain's current symbol "CFB". Additional information related to the Arrangement is detailed in the Circular which is posted under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.


Additional Matters Approved at the AGM

In addition to approving the Arrangement, shareholders of the Company also approved the other matters submitted by management of the Company to shareholders, namely the re-appointment of the Company's auditors and the election of directors. All the nominees of management were elected as directors of the Company, with the results being as follows:

Update on Memorandum of Understanding

On September 24, 2012, Chieftain announced it had entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding with China Development Bank, China CAMC Engineering Co., Ltd. and its affiliate Procon Holdings (Alberta) Inc. ("Procon") for a comprehensive plan to arrange 100% of the project financing and to develop Chieftain's Tulsequah Chief project (the "MOU").

The MOU contemplated a series of steps and a timetable, none of which have transpired. Chieftain has determined that the arrangements contemplated under the MOU will not proceed. Accordingly, the Company has determined that the Procon contingent Warrant has effectively been cancelled and the Company and Procon will determine if the Procon investment in common shares will be offered to another strategic partner.
