The Company has determined to refocus its business operations from a "mining issuer" to an "investment issuer" after a strategic review. The Company believes that the experience and contacts of its directors and management will enable it to identify and capitalize upon investment opportunities as an "investment issuer". Management has adopted an investment policy that will provide, among other things, that: (a) the Company will seek high return investment opportunities in privately held and in publicly traded companies with a focus on publicly traded resource issuers; (b) the Company will seek to preserve capital and limit downside risk while achieving a reasonable rate of capital appreciation; and (c) the Company will seek investments that provide liquidity.
Alberta Star currently has $5.8 Million in cash and cash equivalents and holds investments valued at approximately $825,000 as of May 31, 2014. The Company is actively reviewing investments that conform with its investment policy and proposes a minimum of $1,000,000 upon receipt of shareholder approval at its Annual General Meeting scheduled for June 24, 2014. The Company will issue a news release with comprehensive disclosure of each proposed investment, the closing of which will be subject to TSXV approval.
Completion of the Change of Business is subject to a number of conditions, including TSXV acceptance and shareholder approval. The transaction cannot close until the required shareholder approval is obtained and there can be no assurance that the Proposed COB will be completed as proposed or at all. Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the Circular that has been prepared in connection with the proposed Change of Business, any information released or received with respect to the transaction may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon. The Circular is available under the Company's filings at www.sedar.com. Trading in the securities of the Company should be considered highly speculative.
The TSX Venture Exchange Inc. has in no way passed upon the merits of the Proposed COB and has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this press release.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as the term is defined in the Policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
