Vancouver, British Columbia – Highway 50 Gold Corp. (TSX.V – HWY)
Highway 50 Gold Corp. (the “Company”) announces a consolidation (the “Consolidation”) of the common shares (the “Shares”) of the Company on a two-to-one (2:1) basis. The Company currently has 46,341,214 Shares outstanding and if completed, the Consolidation would reduce the issued and outstanding Shares to approximately 23,170,607 Shares, subject to rounding. No fractional post-Consolidation Shares will be issued pursuant to the Consolidation. Any fractional Shares equal to or greater than one-half resulting from the Consolidation will be rounded up to the next whole number of Shares, and any fractional Shares less than one-half resulting from the Consolidation will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) believe that the Consolidation will provide the Company with greater flexibility for the continued development of its business and the growth of the Company, including financing arrangements.
The exercise price and the number of Shares issuable under the Company’s outstanding stock options and common share purchase warrants will be proportionately adjusted upon completion of the Consolidation.
The Consolidation is subject to TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) approval. Under the Articles of the Company, a consolidation may be implemented by the Board without shareholder approval. As such, the Consolidation is not subject to shareholder approval. The Company will announce the effective date of the Consolidation, as well as the new CUSIP/ISIN numbers for the post-Consolidation Shares by way of a future news release. The post-Consolidation Shares will continue to trade on the TSXV under the Company’s existing name and trading symbol.
Shareholders who have deposited their Shares into brokerage accounts are not required to take any action to effect an exchange of their Shares.
Registered shareholders with physical certificates will receive a letter of transmittal from Computershare Trust Company of Canada, the Company’s transfer agent. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how registered shareholders can exchange their share certificates representing pre-Consolidation Shares for new certificates representing post-Consolidation Shares. Until surrendered, each share certificate representing pre-Consolidation Shares will represent the number of whole post-Consolidation Shares to which the holder is entitled as a result of the Consolidation.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Highway 50 Gold Corp.
