Explorex Resources Inc. Closes Plan of Arrangement with Origen and Completes Acquisition of Raffles

29.04.2020  |  Newsfile
Vancouver, April 29, 2020 - Raffles Financial Group Limited, formerly Explorex Resources Inc. (CSE: EX) (FSE: 1XE) (OTC: EXPXF) (the "Company" or "Explorex") is pleased to announce that its previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") has closed. The Arrangement, which spun out certain assets of Explorex to Origen Resources Inc. ("Origen"), along with the transfer of $500,000 in cash, has closed. Explorex shareholders received one share of Origen for every two shares they held in Explorex. Origen is now a reporting issuer and has received conditional approval to list its common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE"). The Board of Origen now consists of Gary Schellenberg, Mike Sieb, William Wishart, James Mustard and Jerry Bella. Further details are contained in the Company's information circular dated February 3, 2020 for its annual general and special meeting at which the Arrangement was approved by Explorex's shareholders, and Origen's CSE listing statement which will be filed on Origen's CSE portal and on SEDAR.

"We thank everybody for their patience through the completion of this transaction" states Origen CEO Gary Schellenberg. "The transaction has provided the existing shareholders with two distinct avenues to benefit from their initial holdings. For our part we, the management of Origen, have significant plans to move the company forward and will endeavour to continue rewarding the shareholders as our plans are enacted."

Origen has concurrently closed a private placement for gross proceeds of $200,496 through the sale of 1,113,867 units at a price of $0.18 per unit. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant, with each share purchase warrant exercisable for 2 years at $0.22 per common share. All securities issued under the private placement are subject to a hold period of 4 months. Certain directors and officers of Origen participated in the private placement. Participation of insiders in the private placement constitutes a related party transaction as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. Because Origen's shares will trade only on the CSE, the issuance of securities is exempt from the formal valuation requirements of Section 5.4 of MI 61-101, pursuant to subsection 5.5(b) of MI 61-101, and exempt from the minority shareholder approval requirements of Section 5.6 of MI 61-101.

Following completion of the Arrangement, all of the directors of Explorex resigned, other than Mike Zhou who will remain as an independent director of Raffles.

"We are delighted to be listed on CSE and believe this will strengthen the Raffles Financial Group's capital, shareholder base, business expansion and profit growth." states Raffles Chair Charlie In.


Acquisition of Raffles

The Company is pleased to announce that it has completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Raffles Financial Pte Ltd. ("Raffles Pte"), a Singapore financial services company, by way of a share exchange agreement among Explorex, Raffles Pte and the shareholders of Raffles Pte (the "Transaction"). In anticipation of closing the Transaction, and before closing the Transaction, Explorex changed its name to "Raffles Financial Group Limited" ("Raffles"), consolidated its outstanding share capital on the basis of 25.94 old shares to one new share, such that 1,050,000 shares were outstanding immediately before closing. Then Raffles continued its corporate jurisdiction to the Cayman Islands, following which the acquisition of Raffles Pte completed by the issuance of 45,000,000 Raffles shares to the shareholders of Raffles Pte. The Board of Raffles now consists of Charlie In, Victor Liu, Abigail Zhang, Kit Chan, Mike Zhou, Lily Ren and David Anthony Bruzzisi.

The Transaction constituted a "fundamental change" of Explorex under the policies of the CSE, and the CSE has provided conditional approval for the listing of Raffles. Further details are contained in the Company's information circular dated February 3, 2020 for its annual general and special meeting at which the Transaction and continuation to Cayman Islands were also approved by the Company's shareholders. Raffles' CSE listing statement will be filed on Raffles' CSE portal and on SEDAR.

Raffles has also completed a private placement for gross proceeds of $20,000,000 through the sale of 4,000,000 shares at a price of $5.00 per share. All securities issued under the private placement are subject to a hold period of 4 months.
