Goldmoney Inc. Announces Closing of Schiff Gold Sale and Cancellation of Securities
December 01 2023 - 7:25PM
Goldmoney Inc. (TSX:XAU) (US:XAUMF) (“Goldmoney” or the “Company”),
today announces that it has closed the transaction previously
announced on September 26, 2023 (the
“
Transaction”) with PDS Family Hycet Trust (the
“
Purchaser”) to sell all of its membership
interest in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Schiff Gold LLC.
(“
SGL”).
Pursuant to the terms of a securities exchange
agreement dated December 1, 2023, Goldmoney received 212,600 common
shares of Goldmoney (the “Goldmoney Shares”) and
280,000 common share purchase warrants of Goldmoney (the
“Goldmoney Warrants” and, together with the
Goldmoney Shares, the “Goldmoney Securities”) in
consideration for all of Goldmoney’s membership interests in SGL.
Goldmoney also received payment of USD$290,000 upon closing of the
Transaction. The Goldmoney Shares have a deemed value of
approximately CAD $1,798,596 (equivalent to CAD$8.46 per share for
212,600 Goldmoney Shares), and the Goldmoney Warrants have a deemed
value of approximately $147,657 based on a Black-Scholes
valuation.
Upon closing of the Transaction, the Goldmoney
Shares were cancelled by the Company (the
“Cancellation”). The Cancellation was made as part
of the Company’s ongoing normal course issuer bid pursuant to
National Instrument 62-104 Takeover Bids and Issuer Bids
(“NI 62-104”). The price per Goldmoney Share has
been calculated to comply with the requirements of section 1.11 of
NI 62-104.
Under applicable securities regulations, Mr.
Peter Schiff is a related party of SGL (being an affiliated entity
of Goldmoney) and a control person of the Purchaser. Accordingly,
the Transaction is considered a related party transaction under
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security
Holders in Special Transactions (“MI
61-101”). The Company is exempt from the formal valuation
and minority approval requirements under MI 61-101 respecting the
Transaction as the fair market value of the Goldmoney Securities
does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.
Following the Cancellation, Goldmoney now has 13,533,901 total
common shares outstanding.
