VANCOUVER, BC – TheNewswire – November 2, 2023 – Element 79 Gold Corp. (CSE:ELEM) (OTC:ELMGF) (FSE:7YS) (“Element 79 Gold”) announces that its board of directors has approved a consolidation (the “Consolidation”) of the common shares in the capital of the Company (the “Common Shares”) at a ratio of 10 pre-Consolidation Common Shares (the “Existing Shares”) for one post-Consolidation Common Share (the “Consolidated Shares”). The Share Consolidation remains subject to the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”). The Company will issue a news release upon receiving CSE approval, announcing the effective date of the Share Consolidation. The Consolidated Shares will subsequently begin trading on a consolidated basis under the existing Company name and trading symbol.
As a result of the Consolidation, each 10 Existing Shares outstanding will automatically combine into one Consolidated Share without any action on the part of the holders, and the number of outstanding Common Shares will be reduced from approximately 131,394,391 Common Shares to approximately 13,139,439 Common Shares. The Consolidation will also apply to Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Consolidation. In the event a shareholder would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share from the Consolidation, the number of Consolidated Shares to be received by such shareholder shall be rounded down to the next highest whole number of Consolidated Shares.
The Company will take the required steps to amend the exercise prices of the Company’s issued and outstanding share purchase warrants and incentive share purchase options post consolidation in order to maintain the incentive for the respective holders
Mr. Tworek, CEO and Director of Element79 Gold Corp., stated, “The Board of Directors considered this consolidation carefully and believes that the proposed Consolidation will better position the Company to attract additional institutional investors into the Company. There is no name change in conjunction with the Consolidation, and the Company’s trading symbol will remain the same. On final approval from the CSE, the Company expects its post-Consolidation Common Shares to commence trading on a consolidated basis at the open of markets on November 8, 2023.
