Agave Silver Corp. Signs Letter of Intent with Respect to the Sale of Nuevo Milenio Property in Mexico
Vancouver, BC / TNW-ACCESSWIRE / November 10, 2014 / Agave Silver Corp. (TSX-V: AGV)("Agave" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has signed a letter of intent dated November 7, 2014 (the "Letter of Intent") with Frank Lang and Ferdinand Holcapek (the "Buyers") pursuant to which the Company will sell the Company's interest in the Nuevo Milenio Property to the Buyers via the sale of all of the securities of Cream Minerals de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. ("Cream Mexico") held by Agave (the "Transaction"). Cream Mexico holds all right and title to the mineral concessions comprising the Company's Nuevo Milenio Property. Additionally, the Company announces that subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"), the Company intends to complete a non-brokered private placement to raise up to CDN$1,000,000 (the "Private Placement").
"The sale of the Nuevo Milenio Property allows us to focus our resources on developing mineral exploration projects in Canada, including our 100% owned Kaslo Silver Property in southern British Columbia" said Ronald Lang, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Lang further added "The sale of the Nuevo Milenio Property also significantly reduces the Company's current and ongoing debt obligations, and with additional debt reduction strategies being negotiated, and the Private Placement, the Company will be in a strong position to explore and execute on additional opportunities going forward."
The Transaction
Pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Intent, and subject to any regulatory, shareholder or such other approvals that may be required and other conditions (including satisfactory due diligence) contained in the Letter of Intent, the parties intend to negotiate, prepare and execute a definitive share purchase agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") with respect to the sale of all of the shares of Cream Mexico held by Agave. The Definitive Agreement will incorporate the principal terms of the Transaction as described in this press release and such other terms and provisions that are customary in transactions of this nature. As consideration for the securities of Cream Mexico held by Agave, the Buyers will pay the aggregate sum of $686,000, payable as the forgiveness of the debts owed by Agave to Frank Lang (or other entities controlled by Frank Lang) and Ferdinand Holcapek.
The Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including TSXV approval and the approval by special resolution of 662/3 of the shareholders of Agave in accordance with the "majority of the minority" requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") at the annual general and special meeting of the shareholders of Agave to be held on December 18, 2014.
As the Transaction is a related party transaction (as such term is defined in MI 61-101), the Transaction is exempt from the formal valuation requirement of MI 61-101 as the Company's securities are not listed on certain specified stock exchanges.
The Transaction is expected to close on or before the fifth day following the date of removal of the last of the conditions in the Definitive Agreement, which the parties expect to be no later than 5:00 pm (Vancouver time) on December 23, 2014. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all. If the Transaction is not completed, the Board of Directors of the Company will consider all other potential options available to it.
Private Placement
In connection with the Transaction, the Company intends on completing the Private Placement, subject to TSXV approval. The Private Placement is expected to consist of the issuance of up to 20,000,000 common shares of Agave at a price of $0.05 per common share. Net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to fund the development of the Company's existing Canadian projects, potential acquisitions of additional Canadian projects and general working capital for the Company.
