![Iron Creek Capital Corp. Announces Plans to Consolidate its Shares and Raise up to $5 Million](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
- Consolidate all of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of seven (7) pre-consolidation common shares for one (1) post-consolidation common share; and
- Create a new Control Person (owning or controlling more than 20% of the outstanding post-consolidation shares) based on the Control Person's post-consolidation and post-financing share and warrant holdings.
Iron Creek intends to use the new funds raised to pursue a number of business opportunities that have been identified, as well as for general corporate purposes.
Share Consolidation
Iron Creek currently has 53,286,230 common shares issued and outstanding and, if the consolidation is completed, will have 7,612,320 common shares issued and outstanding. The Company does not intend to change its name in connection with the consolidation, although its CUSIP number and ISIN will change.
The Board of Directors is recommending shareholders approve the share consolidation to assist the Company in obtaining equity financing and increase its flexibility with respect to potential business transactions. If the consolidation is approved, the Board of Directors will have the authority to implement the consolidation or abandon it without further approval from, action by, or prior notice to shareholders.
Private Placement Financing
Iron Creek intends to raise new capital through a non-brokered private placement of 23,809,524 units at a post-consolidation price of $0.21 per unit, for gross proceeds of $5,000,000. Each unit will consist of one post-consolidation common share (a "Share") and one non-transferable share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional Share for a period of five years at $0.31 in the first three years and $0.42 in the last two years. After the expiry of the four month restricted resale period, the Company will accelerate the Warrant expiry date if the closing market price of the Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange for a period of 20 consecutive trading days is $0.45 or greater during the first three years of the warrants, or $0.60 or greater during the last two years of the warrants, (in both cases, an "Acceleration Triggering Event"), by issuing a news release and giving written notice of acceleration ("Notice of Acceleration") to the Warrant holders within five trading days of the Acceleration Triggering Event. The new Warrant expiry date shall be 20 trading days after the date of the Notice of Acceleration.
A finder's fee may be paid on a portion of the placement. The finder's fee will consist of units equal to 6% of the units sold to investors introduced by finders, and non-transferable share purchase warrants equal to 6% of such units sold to investors. The finder's fee warrants will have the same terms as the Warrants.
The Shares, and any Shares issued on the exercise of the Warrants and finder's fee warrants, will be subject to a four month restricted resale period in Canada and applicable securities legislation hold periods outside of Canada. There can be no assurance that the private placement will be completed as proposed or at all.
Creation of Control Person
Iron Creek has been advised that affiliates of Sprott Inc. ("Sprott") have agreed to purchase a significant number of units in the private placement and, as a result, might become a Control Person based on its post-consolidation share and warrant holdings. As required by Exchange policy, the Company will therefore seek approval, by way of ordinary resolution, of the creation of a new Control Person at the SGM. The votes attached to the Shares held by Sprott and its associates and affiliates will be excluded from voting.
