Everton Completes Dominican Republic Acquisition
OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired - April 1, 2014) - Everton Resources Inc. ("Everton" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:EVR) (FRANKFURT:ERV) is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously-announced arm's length acquisition of an Ontario-based private company (the "Target") which holds an option on six mining concessions in the Dominican Republic (see news release October 25, 2013). The acquisition was completed following the amalgamation of Everton's wholly-owned subsidiary with the Target.
As consideration for the acquisition, Everton issued an aggregate of 6,500,000 common shares (the "Shares") registered in the respective names of the shareholders of the Target (the "Shareholders"), 2,500,000 of which were released on March 28, 2014, the effective date of the amalgamation (the "Closing Date"). Pursuant to the terms of the amalgamation agreement, Everton will release the remaining Shares as follows: (i) 2,000,000 Shares on September 28, 2014, and (ii) 2,000,000 Shares on March 28, 2015. In addition, Everton has reserved and allotted a total of 4,000,000 Shares (the "Supplemental Shares") 2,000,000 of which will be issued to the Shareholders, on a pro rata basis, on each of the 18th and 24th month anniversaries of the Closing Date or earlier if the concessions are granted prior to these dates. The total number of Supplemental Shares to be issued may be reduced should any of the concessions be denied. No new insider has been created as a result of the foregoing transactions.
Pursuant to the National Instrument 45-102 Resale of Securities, all of the 6,500,000 common shares issued in connection with the acquisition are subject to a four-month "hold period" expiring on July 29, 2014.
In connection with the closing of the acquisition, Everton also received a right of first offer on eleven additional mining concessions located in the Dominican Republic from a private company controlled by the Shareholders.
A description of the six mining concessions may be found in the Company's October 15, 2013 news release.
