HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA / ACCESSWIRE / October 1, 2024 / (TSXV:SSE) Silver Spruce Resources Inc. ("Silver Spruce" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it is proposing to consolidate its common shares on the basis of one post-consolidation common share for every fifteen pre-consolidation common shares issued and outstanding (the "Consolidation"). The shareholders of the Company will be asked to vote in favour of the Consolidation at the Company's annual and special meeting of shareholders to be held on October 29, 2024. The Consolidation is also subject to TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") acceptance.
The Company's board of directors (the "Board") believes that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to effect the Consolidation in order to facilitate future financing and business development activities. The Consolidation may enhance the shares' marketability as an increase in the price per share is likely to increase the interest of institutional and other investors in the Company's shares, thereby expanding the pool of investors that may consider purchasing the shares and investing in the Company.
If the Consolidation is implemented, its primary effect would be to proportionately decrease the number of issued and outstanding common shares by a factor equal to the consolidation ratio. At the close of business on September 19, 2024 (the record date), the closing price of the shares on the Exchange was $0.01 per share and there were 322,547,832 shares issued and outstanding. Based on the number of shares issued and outstanding on September 19, 2024, immediately following the completion of the Consolidation, for illustrative purposes only, the number of post-Consolidation shares issued and outstanding would be 21,503,188 shares.
If the Consolidation is approved by the shareholders and accepted by the Exchange, the Consolidation would not become effective until the Board files the articles of amendment to implement the Consolidation. In no event shall the Consolidation occur later than eighteen months after the date on which the special resolution is approved. The special resolution will also authorize the Board to elect not to proceed with, and abandon, the Consolidation at any time if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the Consolidation is not in the Company's best interests.
The Company's name will not be changed in conjunction with the proposed Consolidation.
