Noble Provides Additional Details regarding Letter of Intent with Canna-Saver, LLC
Toronto, Ontario /TNW-ACCESSWIRE / June 9, 2014 / Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. (the "Company", "Noble" or "NOB") (TSX-V:NOB, FRANKFURT:NB7, OTC.PK:NLPXF) is pleased to provide terms of the non-binding letter of intent (the "Letter of Intent") it signed with Canna-Saver, LLC ("Canna-Saver"). The Letter of Intent provides that Noble's wholly owned subsidiary ("Noble Subsidiary") would acquire a 50% interest in Canna-Saver under terms that are summarized below, with a right to acquire the remaining 50% interest upon completion of certain conditions. The material terms of the transaction contemplated in the letter of intent are as follows.
-As outlined in the Letter of Intent, while there is no guarantee it is Noble's intention that Noble Subsidiary would become a separate public company with a listing on a Canadian and a US stock exchange or marketplace.
-Noble would distribute to its existing shareholders a unit of Noble Subsidiary that would be comprised of one share and 1/4 of a warrant, with each full warrant being exercisable at $0.20 into a share of Noble Subsidiary. These units would be distributed pro rata to the shareholders of Noble at a ratio that, based on Noble's current capitalization, is expected to give rise to approximately 1 unit of Noble Subsidiary distributed for every 6 shares of Noble currently outstanding. The shares of Noble Subsidiary distributed in the manner would represent approximately 36% of the outstanding shares of Noble Subsidiary after the completion of the financing described below and Noble's acquisition of 50% of Canna-Saver.
-Noble Subsidiary will acquire from the principals or members of Canna-Saver a 50% interest in Canna-Saver by issuing a number of shares of Noble Subsidiary corresponding to approximately 57% of the outstanding shares of Noble Subsidiary after completion of the unit distribution to Noble's shareholders described above and completion of the financing described below.
-Subject to compliance with TSX.Venture Exchange policies and any required approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, Noble and/or its principals or other investors would subscribe for at least $750,000 in Noble Subsidiary through the purchase of at least 5,000,000 units at a price of $0.15 per unit, with each unit comprised of 1 share of Noble Subsidiary and 1/4 warrant of Noble Subsidiary and each full warrant being exercisable at $0.20. This financing would provide working capital to Noble Subsidiary for the development and expansion of Canna-Saver's business. Assuming 5,000,000 shares of Noble Subsidiary were distributed in this financing, these shares would represent approximately 7% o the outstanding shares of Noble Subsidiary after the completion of the unit distribution to Noble's shareholders and the acquisition of a 50% interest in Canna-Saver, both as described above.
-If all of the Noble Subsidiary warrants issued as part of the units of Noble Subsidiary issued and distributed to Noble's shareholders and in the minimum $750,000 financing are exercised, Noble Subsidiary would then have the right to acquire any portion or all of the 50% of Canna-Saver not initially acquired. The Letter of Intent provides that the remaining 50% of Canna-Saver can be acquired through the issuance of additional shares of Noble Subsidiary. Assuming Noble Subsidiary acquired all of the remaining 50% ownership of Canna-Saver that it did not initially acquire, the members or principals of Canna-Saver would receive a number of shares of Noble Subsidiary corresponding to approximately 16.5% of the outstanding shares of Noble Subsidiary at that time. As a result, upon all outstanding warrants of Noble Subsidiary having been exercised and Noble's purchasing the remaining 50% of Canna-Saver, the outstanding shares of Noble Subsidiary would be held as follows: approximately 27% by the shareholders of Noble, approximately 5% by the investors in the $750,000 financing completed by Noble Subsidiary and approximately 68% by the members or principals of Canna-Saver.
Having now executed the Letter of Intent with Canna-Saver, Noble will now work to complete its due diligence of Canna-Saver, to negotiate and enter into definitive agreements for the transactions outlined in the Letter of Intent, to otherwise to embark upon the steps outlined in the Letter of Intent and to obtain all required regulatory and stock exchange approvals. For the time being, the Letter of Intent remains non-binding and may or may not result in definitive agreements or regulatory approval being reached.
