![Adex Mining Announces Terms of Rights Offering and Files Final Prospectus](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
Each shareholder of Adex will receive one (1) Right for each common share owned on January 5, 2015 (the "Record Date"). Approximately 0.354 of a Right will entitle the holder to acquire one (1) new common share of the Company at a price of $0.01 per common share. The Rights have been conditionally accepted for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"), which will also list the common shares issuable upon the exercise of the Rights. Subject to applicable law, all Adex shareholders will have the opportunity to participate and, by doing so, maintain their existing levels of ownership of the Company's common shares. Shareholders who exercise their Rights will not be diluted by this Rights Offering.
Certificates representing the Rights, as well as copies of the Final Prospectus, will be mailed to Adex shareholders shortly after the Record Date. Holders of Rights can, in whole or in part, exercise their Rights to subscribe for new common shares or sell their Rights through the facilities of the TSXV. The Rights are will trade on the TSXV under the symbol "ADE.RT". The Rights will expire on February 4, 2015 (the "Expiry Date") and are expected to cease trading on the TSXV at 12:00 p.m. on the Expiry Date. Any Rights not exercised by 4:00 p.m. on the Expiry Date will become void and of no further value.
The Company has also entered into a definitive standby purchase agreement (the "Standby Agreement") with Great Harvest Canadian Investment Company Limited ("Great Harvest") with respect to the Rights Offering. Pursuant to the Standby Agreement, Great Harvest has committed to exercise all of its Rights to subscribe for common shares based on its current approximate 45.14% ownership of Adex common shares, as well as to acquire any common shares available under the Rights Offering but not subscribed for by other holders of Rights. If all the holders of Rights exercise such Rights in full, Great Harvest would maintain its current approximate 45.14% equity ownership interest in Adex. If only Great Harvest exercises its Rights, and no other holder of Rights exercises its Rights, Great Harvest would own approximately 85.65% of the issued and outstanding Adex common shares after giving effect to the Rights Offering.
As previously described, the proceeds of the Rights Offering will be used, among other things, for the repayment of funds advanced to Adex by Great Harvest under certain loans (the "Loans"), the preparation of a prefeasibility report on the economic evaluation of the resources in the North Zone and the Fire Tower Zone on the Mount Pleasant Mine Property of the Company in New Brunswick and working capital purposes. The Loans were provided to the Corporation pursuant to loan agreements between the Corporation and Great Harvest previously entered into and publicly announced in January 2014 and August 2014.
The completion of the Rights Offering is conditional upon receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals, including from the TSXV.
Further details regarding the Rights Offering and the procedures to be followed by holders of Common Shares are contained in the Final Prospectus available on Adex's profile at www.sedar.com.
