Vancouver, B.C. – August 26, 2020 – PLB Capital Corp. (“PLB” or the “Company”), a capital pool company pursuant to Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSX-V”), announces that further to its press release dated June 16, 2020 regarding the signing of a binding definitive share exchange agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) to acquire Kainantu Resources Limited (“KRL”) (the “Transaction”), the Company, KRL and the shareholders of KRL executed an amendment to the Definitive Agreement on August 5, 2020 (the “Amendment Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement, the Company will issue common shares in the capital of PLB (“PLB Shares”) to the holders of KRL common shares (“KRL Shares”) on the basis of one PLB Share for each KRL Share at a deemed price of $0.20 per KRL Share. In addition, PLB will issue an aggregate of 5,000,000 deferred PLB Shares to the holders of KRL Shares, pro rata in accordance with their holdings of KRL Shares as of the date of the Definitive Agreement, as additional consideration in the event certain milestones are achieved by the resulting issuer following the closing of the Transaction.
Further details on the Amendment Agreement can be found under PLB’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
Additionally, KRL has arranged a non-brokered private placement (the “Financing”) to raise aggregate gross proceeds of not less than $1,000,000 and up to $3,000,000 through the issuance of a minimum of 5,000,000 and up to 15,000,000 units (each a “Unit”). Each Unit will consist of one KRL share and one half of a share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “KRL Warrant”). Each KRL Warrant will be exercisable at a price of $0.40 per share for a period of 36 months. The KRL Shares and KRL Warrants issuable pursuant to the Financing will be exchanged for common shares and warrants of PLB on the same terms. The Financing is expected to complete immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction.
The proceeds of the Financing will be utilized for payments due pursuant to exploration costs on KRL’s gold tenements, general working capital, and the Transaction. Insiders of KRL are expected to participate in ~40% of the Financing. Finder’s fees will apply to the balance of the proceeds raised from the Units sold to arm’s length parties to the Transaction, consisting of 7% to be paid in cash or Units and 11% to be issued as warrants bearing the same terms of the KRL Warrants. The completion of the Financing is subject to the approval of the TSX-V.
