Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 3, 2022) - Earl Resources Limited (TSXV: ERL.H) ("Earl Resources"), further to its press releases dated November 26, 2021 and February 28, 2022, is pleased to announce that it has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") for its proposed "Change of Business" (the "Proposed COB"), as such term is defined in Policy 5.2 of the TSXV ("Policy 5.2").
Proposed COB
It is intended that the Proposed COB will constitute Earl Resources' "reactivation" under the Policies of the TSXV and that upon completion of the Proposed COB ("Closing") and satisfaction of all conditions of the TSXV, Earl Resources will have its listing transferred from the NEX board of the TSXV ("NEX") to the TSXV. In connection with Closing, it is anticipated that Earl Resources will change its name to "Klimat X Development Inc." (subject to applicable regulatory approvals and approval of the TSXV), in order to more accurately reflect its operations and business. For further details on the Proposed COB, please see Earl Resources' press releases dated November 26, 2021 and February 28, 2022.
Filing Statement
In connection with the Proposed COB and pursuant to TSXV requirements, Earl Resources has prepared and intends to file a filing statement (the "Filing Statement") outlining the terms of the Proposed COB and providing detailed information respecting Earl Resources' ongoing business and operational plans and expectations following Closing. The Filing Statement will be filed under Earl Resources' profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Closing
Final approval of the Proposed COB by the TSXV remains subject to a number of conditions, including the filing of the Filing Statement and other conditions customary for transactions of this nature. Closing is intended to occur the week of June 6, 2022 and trading of the common shares of Earl Resources (the "Common Shares") on the TSXV is anticipated to resume the following week.
Subscription Receipt Financing
Earl Resources is also pleased to announce that, further to its press release dated February 1, 2022, it has closed the second and final tranche of the non-brokered private placement (the "Concurrent Financing") of subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") of Earl Resources at a price of CAD$0.45 per Subscription Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of CAD$100,035.
An aggregate of 20,705,127 Subscription Receipts were issued in connection with the Concurrent Financing on January 28, 2022, February 1, 2022 and May 30, 2022. Each Subscription Receipt entitles the holder thereof to receive, upon the satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions (the "Escrow Release Conditions"), including all conditions precedent to the Proposed Transactions being satisfied, and without any further action by the holder of such Subscription Receipt and for no further payment, one Common Share. The gross proceeds of the Concurrent Financing together with any interest earned thereon (the "Escrowed Funds") have been deposited in escrow with Odyssey Trust Company, the subscription receipt agent, until the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent such waiver is permitted) of the Escrow Release Conditions. For further details on the Concurrent Financing, please see Earl Resources' press release dated February 1, 2022.
Trading Halt
In accordance with Policy 5.2, the Common Shares are currently halted from trading and are expected to remain halted pending the requirements of Section 2.5 of Policy 5.2 being met.
