Till Capital Ltd. Announces Investment Banking Engagements to Market Certain Assets
14.11.2017 | GlobeNewswire
HAMILTON, Nov. 14, 2017 - Till Capital Ltd. (NASDAQ:TIL) (TSX.V:TIL) (the “Company” or “Till”), a Bermuda domiciled company, announces that it has signed two Engagement Agreements (the “Agreements”) with two different investment banking firms for the sale of certain assets. Specifically, Till has decided to pursue the sale of its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary Omega Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), and its Springer Tungsten Mine and Mill Complex (the “Springer Project”) located in Pershing County, Nevada.
To date, although potential buyers have been identified, no definitive agreement for the sale of either of these assets has been reached, nor can any assurances be given as to the potential outcome or timing of any transaction, should it occur. The Company does not intend to disclose or comment on developments related to these processes unless and until the Board has approved a specific transaction or otherwise determined that further disclosure is appropriate.
Till's management and board of directors believe that the sale of Holdings and the Springer Project will allow Till to focus on increasing shareholder value and its original business strategy. Further details regarding the impact of those sales may be found in the Company’s third-quarter filings on EDGAR and SEDAR.
