Reservoir Capital Corp.: Brodarevo Project Update and Share
Consolidation Proposal
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan 20, 2014) -
Reservoir Capital Corp. (TSX-VENTURE:REO) (FRANKFURT:ROC)
(BERLIN:ROC) ("Reservoir" or the "Company") is at an advanced stage
of permitting for its Brodarevo Hydroelectric Project in Serbia,
for which a positive Feasibility Study was completed in 2012 and
Environmental Permits granted in 2013. The Company now awaits a
decision from the Government of Serbia with regard to use of the
government owned land affected by the project in order to complete
applications for construction permits. The longer than expected
timelines for approvals in Serbia and uncertainties around the
Bilateral Agreement on renewable energy exports between Serbia and
Italy have meant that the Company has been unable to advance its
negotiations for project finance in a timely fashion. The Company
is now obliged to raise additional equity capital in order to
complete the permitting and project finance for Brodarevo and to
secure and advance its other renewable energy licenses and
concessions in the region.
Given the decline in
the Company's share price to levels substantially below that at
which it is viable to issue new shares, the Company will be seeking
approval of shareholders for a consolidation of the Company's
issued and outstanding common shares at a ratio of up to 20
pre-consolidation shares into one post-consolidation share at the
special meeting of shareholders to be held on March 4, 2014. The
board of directors is recommending shareholders approve the share
consolidation in order to secure future equity financing and
increase the Company's flexibility with respect to potential
business transactions.
If the consolidation
is approved, the board of directors will have the authority to
implement the consolidation at the ratio of up to 20:1 at any time
and will be permitted, without further shareholder approval, to
select a lower consolidation ratio if it deems that to be more
appropriate. Notwithstanding approval of the consolidation by the
shareholders, Reservoir's directors, at their sole discretion, may
abandon the consolidation without further approval, action by or
prior notice to shareholders.
Reservoir currently
has 84,361,726 common shares issued and outstanding and, if the
consolidation is completed on a 20:1 ratio, will have 4,218,087
common shares issued and outstanding. The Company does not intend
to change its name in connection with the consolidation, although
its CUSIP number and ISIN will change.
The proposed
consolidation is subject to the approval of the shareholders of
Reservoir and the TSX Venture Exchange.
