NGEx Resources Inc. Announces Closing of the Spin-Out of the Los Helados Property; Name Change to Josemaria Resources Inc. and New Board

18.07.2019  |  CNW
VANCOUVER, July 17, 2019 - NGEx Resources Inc. ("NGEx" or the "Company") (TSX: NGQ) (OMX: NGQ) and NGEx Minerals Ltd. ("Spinco" or "NGEx Minerals") are pleased to announce that the previously announced spin-out of the Company's Los Helados property (the "Los Helados Project") and certain other exploration properties into a wholly-owned subsidiary of NGEx, NGEx Minerals by a plan of Arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "Arrangement") has been completed. The Company obtained the final order approving the Arrangement from the Supreme Court of British Columbia on June 24, 2019, and the Arrangement became effective at 12:01 a.m. (Vancouver time) on July 17, 2019.  In addition, as part of the Arrangement, the Company has changed its name to Josemaria Resources Inc., The Company will begin trading under the new name at the opening of the market on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") on July 23, 2019 and at the opening of the market on the Nasdaq Stockholm Exchange ("OMX") on July 25, 2019.  The new ticker symbol for the Company will be "JOSE" on both exchanges.

Pursuant to the Arrangement, NGEx will distribute 100% of the common shares of Spinco (the "Spinco Common Shares") it receives under the Arrangement to shareholders of NGEx ("NGEx Shareholders") on a pro rata basis, such that NGEx Shareholders will receive one Spinco Common Share for every two common shares of NGEx (the "NGEx Common Shares") held as of the record date. Due to the difference in time zones and other technicalities, the distribution and trading dates will differ in Canada and Sweden, hence a cross-border halt will be applied in respect of the NGEx common shares between July 23, 2019 and July 29, 2019 (with the effect that no cross-border transfers between Euroclear Sweden AB ("Euroclear Sweden") and CDS will be possible during this period, but trading on the TSX and OMX will not otherwise be affected). Please refer to the respective dates and details of distribution set out below by jurisdiction, as applicable.


Distribution in Canada

NGEx Shareholders of record as of July 24, 2019 (the "Canadian Record Date") will be entitled to receive Spinco Common Shares in respect of the NGEx Common Shares they hold as of the Canadian Record Date. No additional action is required by NGEx Shareholders in order to receive Spinco Common Shares and NGEx Shareholders will retain any certificates or direct registration statements representing their NGEx Common Shares.  Subject to confirmation from the TSX, it is currently anticipated that the NGEx Common Shares will begin trading on an ex-distribution basis on the TSX on July 23, 2019, one trading day before the Canadian Record Date, meaning that on and after such date, purchasers of NGEx Common Shares will no longer have an attaching right to receive Spinco Common Shares in accordance with the Arrangement.


Distribution in Sweden

The Company has signed an agreement with Euroclear Sweden affiliating the Spinco Common Shares with Euroclear Sweden. NGEx expects that NGEx Shareholders who hold their shares through Euroclear Sweden as of July 26, 2019 (the "Swedish Record Date") will receive Spinco Common Shares on or about July 31, 2019 without any further action required on the part of the NGEx Shareholders. The Spinco Common Shares will be delivered to the same securities accounts as the NGEx Common Shares are registered as of the Swedish Record Date. It is currently anticipated that the NGEx Common Shares will begin trading on an ex-distribution basis on the OMX on July 25, 2019, one trading day before the Swedish Record Date, meaning that on and after such date, purchasers of NGEx Common Shares will no longer have an attaching right to receive Spinco Common Shares.


Listing of Spinco Common Shares

The Company has applied for a listing of the shares of NGEx Minerals on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") under the trading symbol "NGEX". Any such listing will be subject to NGEx Minerals fulfilling all of the requirements of the TSXV.

NGEx will provide further guidance at a later date on the timing for any listing of the Spinco Common Shares on the TSXV.

Since the Spinco Common Shares will not be listed in Sweden, the Company has agreed with its Swedish agent Pareto Securities AB to, for a limited period of time, provide shareholders who receive their Spinco Common Shares under the Arrangement through Euroclear Sweden the opportunity to cross-border their Spinco Common Shares free of charge to CDS. NGEx Shareholders who hold their shares through Euroclear Sweden on July 26, 2019 will receive detailed information by mail on how to proceed if they wish to cross-border their Spinco Common Shares.

As previously announced, the NGEx board of directors has also been reconstituted effective as of the date of the Arrangement, whereby:

(a)  William A. Rand, David F. Mullen and Cheri L. Pedersen have resigned as directors of the NGEx, and the NGEx board has appointed C. Ashley Heppenstall, Paul Conibear and Christina Batruch to fill the vacancies created by these resignations;

(b)  the NGEx board has, pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Company's By-Laws (which permits the NGEx board to appoint one or more additional directors), appointed two additional directors, being Adam Lundin and Pablo Mir Balmaceda; and

(c)  as a result of (a) and (b) above, the NGEx board is now comprised of the following eight directors:

Lukas H. Lundin
Jack O.A. Lundin
Wojtek A. Wodzicki
C. Ashley Heppenstall
Paul Conibear
Christina Batruch
Adam Lundin
Pablo Mir Balmaceda

Additional details of the Arrangement are more fully described in the related Management Information Circular (the "Circular") which was mailed to all NGEx Securityholders of record as of May 3, 2019. The Circular is available under NGEx's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, and is also available on the Company's web site at www.ngexresources.com.
