Adanac Molybdenum Enters Definitive Arrangement Agreement

SURREY, Oct 13, 2015 - Adanac Molybdenum Corp. ("Adanac" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:AUA) announces that, further to its September 11, 2015 news release in respect of its letter of intent with Whitebox Advisors, LLC ("Whitebox"), it has entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") with WBOX 2015-4 Ltd. (the "Purchaser"), an indirect subsidiary of Whitebox whose affiliates own an aggregate of 3,618,728 common shares of Adanac (the "Purchaser Affiliate Shares").

Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, the Purchaser will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Adanac ("Adanac Shares"), other than the Purchaser Affiliate Shares, by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Arrangement") for a cash purchase price of $350,000 (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price represents the value of the Company's non-cash assets at a price of approximately $0.0160 per Adanac Share that is not a Purchaser Affiliate Share.

The terms of the Arrangement Agreement also provide for the distribution to all Adanac shareholders, on a pro-rata basis as a return of capital (the "Distribution"), of cash holdings estimated to be approximately $4.2 million, or approximately $0.1649 per Adanac Share, at the time of closing of the Arrangement (the "Cash Holding").

On a combined basis, the Purchase Price and the Cash Holding represent a cash consideration of approximately $0.1809 per Adanac Share, subject to exception in the case of the Purchaser Affiliates, which will only receive approximately $0.1649 per Purchaser Affiliate Share.

The board of directors of the Company has unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of the Company and recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement.

Certain significant shareholders of the Company, who hold in the aggregate approximately 55% of the outstanding Adanac Shares, have entered into voting agreements with the Purchaser pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, to support the transaction and vote their Adanac Shares in favour of the Arrangement.


The Arrangement Agreement

The Arrangement is subject to customary conditions for a transaction of this nature, which include court approvals, applicable regulatory and stock exchange approvals, the approval of 66 2/3% of Adanac shareholders represented in person or by proxy at a special meeting of Adanac shareholders to be called to consider the Arrangement and a "majority of the minority" as required by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions after excluding the votes cast in respect of the Purchaser Affiliate Shares. It is also a condition to closing of the Arrangement that dissent rights shall not have been exercised with respect to more than 2.5% of the issued and outstanding Adanac Shares.

The Arrangement Agreement includes customary non-solicitation covenants by Adanac and provides Adanac with the ability to respond to unsolicited proposals considered superior to the Arrangement in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement.

An information circular regarding the Arrangement is expected to be mailed to Adanac shareholders in October for an annual general and special meeting of Adanac shareholders to consider the Arrangement, scheduled to take place on or about December 8, 2015, with closing expected to occur by mid-December 2015.
