First Source Resources and CB Gold Announce the Completion of a C$26.60 Million Subscription Receipt Financing
Fabio Capponi, President and CEO of CB Gold, stated: “We are pleased to have successfully closed this Offering which will allow us to continue with our acquisition and development program and to commence drilling at the Vetas Gold Project. We would like to thank our shareholders as well as BMO Capital Markets for their support.“
As part of the amalgamation of CB Gold and First Source (the “Amalgamation“), and upon the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, each Subscription Receipt will be automatically exchanged, without payment of any additional consideration and subject to adjustment, for one unit (a “Unit“) in the amalgamated company (“Amalco“ or the “Company“). Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Warrant“). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of C$0.70 at any time prior to the date that is five years from the date of satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions.
The Offering Fee payable to the Agent (plus any accrued interest earned thereon) will be released to the Agent out of the cash portion of the Escrowed Funds and the balance will be released from escrow to the Company upon delivery of a notice (the “Release Notice“) to the Escrow Agent from the Agent, First Source and the Company, on or before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on December 31, 2010 (the “Escrow Deadline“) indicating the following conditions (the “Escrow Release Conditions“) have been satisfied:
i. the completion or satisfaction of all material conditions precedent to the Amalgamation – expected to be on or about October 28, 2010;
ii. receipt of all required shareholder and regulatory approvals (including without limitation, the conditional approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V“)) for the Amalgamation and the listing of the common shares of the Company pursuant to the Amalgamation; and
iii. the Common Shares and Warrants to be issued on satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions not being subject to any statutory or other hold period in Canada.
If the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied on or before the Escrow Deadline, the Escrowed Funds plus accrued interest on the cash portion thereof will be returned to the holders of the Subscription Receipts on a pro-rata basis (including interest actually earned thereon) and the Subscription Receipts will be cancelled without any further action on the part of the holders. CB Gold will be responsible and liable to the holders of the Subscription Receipts for any shortfall between the aggregate Issue Price and the cash portion of the Escrowed Funds.
On completion of the Amalgamation, and subject to final approval of the TSX-V, the common shares of the Company will be listed on the TSX-V and trade under the symbol “CBJ“ and the listed company will continue under the name of “CB Gold Inc.“.
