Adanac Outlines New Common Share Distribution
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/25/11 -- Adanac Molybdenum Corporation ('Adanac' or the 'Company') (TSX: AUA) is pleased to update current and prospective shareholders with the following new share information.
As outlined in the Information Letter regarding Adanac's Plan of Compromise and Arrangement, Adanac expects to consolidate its issued and outstanding common shares at a rate of 150:1 and then issue approximately 24,698,667 post-consolidation common shares to creditors upon exit from CCAA. Existing shareholders will be provided with further instructions to exchange their current share certificates for new ones when the Plan is implemented.
Adanac's new shares are expected to settle electronically, in Canadian dollars, through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. ('CDS'). Adanac will not apply for listing of the new shares on any stock exchange in the United States. As a result, the Company may no longer be eligible for book-entry and depository services of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ('DTC'). If electronic settlement of transactions in the new shares is no longer available through DTC, United States holders will need to arrange with the brokerage firm holding their shares to settle the new shares via CDS, or will need to deposit physical certificates in a brokerage firm that will settle the new shares in Canadian dollars.
Information and documents relating to Adanac's CCAA proceedings, including the Sanction Order and the Plan, are available on the website of Adanac's Court-appointed Monitor, KPMG Inc.: www.kpmg.ca/adanac.
