29.06.2018  |  FSCwire
Vancouver - Azarga Uranium Corp. (TSX: AZZ, FRA: P8AA, OTCMKTS: PWURF) (“Azarga Uranium”) and URZ Energy Corp. (TSX-V: URZ, OTCQB: URZZF) (“URZ Energy”) are pleased to announce that all resolutions put forward at the annual general and special meeting of the shareholders of Azarga Uranium and the special meeting of URZ Energy, as further described in the joint information circular dated 31 May 2018, were approved by an overwhelming majority.

Under the plan of arrangement (see the 7 May 2018 news release), URZ Energy shareholders will receive 2.0 shares of Azarga Uranium for each URZ Energy share held (the “Exchange Ratio”). In addition, outstanding options and warrants of URZ Energy will be adjusted in accordance with their terms such that the number of Azarga Uranium shares received upon exercise and the exercise price will reflect the Exchange Ratio described above.

The Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) has conditionally approved the plan of arrangement for Azarga Uranium and the TSX Venture Exchange has conditionally approved the plan of arrangement for URZ Energy.  The de-listing of URZ Energy shares is expected to occur at the close of trading on 4 July 2018.

URZ Energy’s application to the Supreme Court of British Columbia to obtain the final order approving the plan of arrangement is scheduled for 4 July 2018.  Assuming court approval is obtained and that all other conditions to the plan of arrangement are satisfied or waived, the plan of arrangement is expected to become effective on or about 5 July 2018.

At the URZ Energy special meeting held on 29 June 2018, a total of 11,626,015 common shares were voted, representing 40.41% of the votes attached to all outstanding common shares with 11,623,515, or 99.98%, voting in favour of the transaction.

At the Azarga Uranium annual general and special meeting held on 29 June 2018, a total of 50,911,588 common shares were voted, representing 59.8% of the votes attached to all outstanding common shares.
