![Meryllion Resources Corp. Announces Closing of Private Placement and Changes in Management](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
Toronto, April 7, 2022 - Meryllion Resources Corp. (CSE: MYR), ("Meryllion" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced non-brokered private placement pursuant to which the Corporation has issued a total of 6,154,615 common shares at a price of $0.065 per share for gross proceeds of $400,050 (the "Private Placement").
Certain insiders of the Corporation subscribed for a total of 2,307,693 common shares pursuant to the Private Placement. The issuance of shares to each insider constitutes a related-party transaction within the meaning of Multi-Lateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101").
Neither the Corporation, nor to the knowledge of the Corporation after reasonable inquiry, a related party, has knowledge of any material information concerning the Corporation or its securities that has not been generally disclosed.
The share issuances to the insiders are exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to Sections 5.5(c) and 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101 as they were a distribution of securities for cash and neither the fair market value of the common shares distributed to, nor the consideration received from, interested parties exceeded $2,500,000.
The Corporation did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Private Placement because the details of the participation therein by related parties to the Corporation were not settled until shortly prior to the closing, and the Corporation wished to close on an expedited basis for business reasons.
All common shares issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.
The Corporation also wishes to announce that, effective immediately, Jeremy Edelman has resigned as a director and as the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation. The Corporation would like to thank Mr. Edelman for his contributions to the Corporation and wishes him all the best in his future endeavours. Richard Revelins, currently a director of the Corporation, has been appointed as the Corporation's new Chief Executive Officer.
Finally, the corporation announces that David Steinepreis has resigned as the Corporation's Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Steinepreis will continue to serve as a director of the Corporation. Chuck Forrest has been appointed as the Corporation's new Chief Financial Officer.
