VANCOUVER, BC - (TheNewswire - May 17, 2024) Stellar AfricaGold Inc. (TSXV: SPX) (the "Company" or "Stellar") announces that to facilitate future financing efforts following positive update from its earn-in partner in Morocco and the receipt of the official decree from the Côte d'Ivoire Authority for Stellar's new exploration permit, Stellar will consolidate its capital structure.
Capital Consolidation
Stellar will be consolidating all of the issued and outstanding common shares ("Common Shares") of the Company on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation Common Share for each ten (10) pre-consolidation Common Shares (the "Consolidation").
The effective date and trading of the Common Shares on a post-Consolidation basis on TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") will be Friday, May 24, 2023. The Company's name and trading symbol will remain unchanged.
New CUSIP for common shares: 85855B201
New ISIN for common shares: CA85855B2012.
The Consolidation is expected to result in the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares being reduced from 120,657,960 pre-consolidation Common Shares to approximately 12,065,796 post-Consolidation Common Shares. The exercise or conversion price of warrants and stock options, and the number of Common Shares issuable thereunder will also be proportionately adjusted upon the completion of the Consolidation.
No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Consolidation. All fractions of Common Shares will be rounded down to the next lowest whole number. No cash consideration will be paid in respect of fractional shares. The Consolidation is subject to the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSXV.
It is anticipated that the capital consolidation will enhance opportunities for Stellar to finance its advancing Tichka Est gold project in Morocco and the recently granted Zuénoula exploration permit in Côte d'Ivoire.
