TORONTO, Sept. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PTX Metals Inc. (CSE: PTX) (OTCQB: PANXF, Frankfurt: 9PF) ("PTX Metals" or the "Company") announces that it will consolidate its common shares (the "Common Shares") on the basis of four (4) pre consolidated Common Shares into one (1) post consolidated Common Share (the "Share Consolidation"), effective as of the open of business on September 11, 2024 (the "Effective Date").
As of the Effective Date, the Company will commence trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "Exchange") on a consolidated basis and the new CUSIP and ISIN number will be 69380V205 and CA69380V2057, respectively.
The Share Consolidation will result in the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares being reduced from the current outstanding 370,213,062 Common Shares to approximately 92,553,265 Common Shares. No fractional Common Shares will be issued as a result of the Share Consolidation. If the fraction is less than one half of one Common Share, the Common Share will be rounded down to the closest whole number of Common Shares, and if the fraction is at least one half of one Common Share, the Common Share will be rounded up to one whole Common Share. The Company's outstanding convertible securities will also be adjusted in accordance with their terms to reflect the Share Consolidation.
The Company has made progress in advancing its mineral projects and expects that the Share Consolidation will provide greater flexibility as it continues to develop these projects. Additionally, the Company anticipates that the Share Consolidation will align shareholders for the potential distribution of Common Shares in its subsidiaries.
There will be no change in the Company's name or trading symbol. The Company expects that the Exchange will issue a bulletin in short order, confirming that the Company's Common Shares will commence trading on a post-consolidation basis as of the Effective Date.
Letters of Transmittal will be mailed to registered shareholders who hold share certificates, with instructions for the exchange of existing share certificates for new share certificates. Shareholders holding uncertificated shares (such as BEO, NCI and DRS positions) will not receive a Letter of Transmittal but will have their holdings adjusted electronically by the Company's transfer agent and need not take any further action to exchange their pre-Share Consolidation Common Shares for post-Share Consolidation Common Shares.
