AEL.H Amseco Exploration Ltd

(TSXV: AEL.H) Exploration Amseco Ltd (“Amseco” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into a letter of intent dated November 2, 2020 (the “LOI”) with LithiumBank Resources Corp. (“LithiumBank”) pursuant to which Amseco proposes to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of LithiumBank (the “Transaction”) in exchange for common shares of New LithiumBank (as defined below) to be issued on a post-Share Consolidation (as defined below) basis. The Transaction will constitute a “Reverse Takeover” of Amseco within the meaning of the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) and will be completed on an arm’s length basis.

Proposed Terms of the Transaction

Under the terms of the LOI, it is anticipated that Amseco and LithiumBank, and if required depending on the structure of the Transaction to be confirmed by the parties at a later date, the securityholders of LithiumBank, will enter into a binding agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) pursuant to which Amseco will acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of LithiumBank in consideration for the issuance (on post-Share Consolidation basis) of 20,950,000 common shares of Amseco (New LithiumBank) at a deemed price of $0.40 per share (for a total deemed consideration of $8,380,000) and  the issuance by Amseco (New LithiumBank) of 2,095,000 stock options, subject to the Company’s stock option plan and the policies of the TSXV.

Concurrent Financing

In connection with the Transaction, Amseco will complete a financing, either by way of prospectus or on a private placement basis, of a minimum of 3,750,000 common shares at an anticipated price of $0.40 per share (on post-Share Consolidation basis), for minimum proceeds of $1,500,000 (the “Offering”). The share price and maximum amount of the Offering will be confirmed at a later date in the context of the market. The Offering may be structured as a placement of subscription receipts with closing to occur prior to the closing of the Transaction.

Share Consolidation (Amseco)

Prior to the closing of the Transaction, Amseco will effect a consolidation of its shares, on the basis of one new common share of Amseco for every 5 old common shares of Amseco issued and outstanding (the “Share Consolidation”), so that approximately 2,595,775 common shares of Amseco will be outstanding on a post-Share Consolidation basis immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction. At the same time, Amseco will make equivalent adjustments to its outstanding stock options in accordance with their respective terms, so that there will be approximately 97,700 stock options outstanding on a post-Share Consolidation basis immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction.

Sponsorship

The Transaction is subject to the sponsorship requirements of the TSXV, unless an exemption from the sponsorship requirement is available or a waiver is granted. The Company intends to apply for an exemption to the sponsorship requirement. There is no assurance that an exemption from this requirement will be obtained.

Conditions of the Transaction

Completion of the proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including, but not limited to: (i) completion of mutually satisfactory due diligence reviews; (ii) execution of the Definitive Agreement; (iii) requisite shareholder approvals for the Share Consolidation and Name Change (as defined below); (iv) completion of the Offering; (v) completion by Amseco of shares for debt arrangements with existing creditors resulting in the issuance of up to 835,383 common shares of Amseco on a pre-Share Consolidation basis; and (vi) receipt of all requisite regulatory approvals relating to the Transaction, including, without limitation, the TSXV.

Closing of the Transaction is expected to occur on or before January 29, 2021. The LOI may be terminated by either party if a Definitive Agreement is not entered into by December 17, 2020.

The company resulting from the transaction (“New LithiumBank”) will be a mining exploration company to be named “LithiumBank Resources Corp.” or such other similar corporate name as shall be mutually agreed upon by LithiumBank and Amseco so as to reflect the Transaction (the “Name Change”).

Shareholder Approval

Amseco will hold an annual and special meeting of its shareholders (the “Meeting”) for purposes of obtaining shareholder approval for various matters related to the Transaction, including the Share Consolidation and Name Change, as required by the applicable policies of the TSXV and the Canada Business Corporations Act. The date and time of the Meeting will be confirmed at a later date by the Company.

In connection with the Transaction, the Company believes that no shareholder approval will be required to be obtained at the Meeting given that (i) the Transaction is not a “Related Party Transaction” within the meaning of the TSXV Corporate Finance Manual and as at the date hereof, no other circumstances exist which may compromise the independence of the Company or other interested parties involved; (ii) the common shares are currently listed on NEX; (iii) the Company is not and will not be subject to a cease trade order and will not otherwise be suspended from trading on completion of the transaction; and (iv) shareholder approval of any aspect of the Transaction is not required under applicable corporate laws and is not required under applicable securities laws. As such, the Company is of the opinion that it meets the conditions for the exemption to obtain shareholder approval under Section 4.1 of Policy 5.2 of the TSXV Corporate Finance Manual. The Company will seek confirmation from the TSXV of this applicable exemption to the Company concurrently with the conduct of its due diligence review on LithiumBank and its assets.
