TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – Nov. 11, 2016) – MacDonald Mines Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:BMK) (“MacDonald Mines” or the “Company“) announces that it will proceed with a one (1) new for every ten (10) old consolidation (10:1) (the “Conversion Ratio“) of its Class A common shares (the “Consolidation“) subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXVE”). This follows the approval of the Consolidation by the Company’s shareholders at its Annual and Special Meeting held on June 15, 2015, and a decision by the Board of Directors to proceed with the Consolidation. There will be no name change in conjunction with the Consolidation.
The Company will continue to trade under the symbol “BMK” on the TSXVE. There are currently 302,743,090 Common Shares outstanding; after giving effect to the Consolidation there will be approximately 30,274,309 Common Shares outstanding.
Management believes the share consolidation is in the best interest of shareholders. It will improve MacDonald Mines’ ability to attract new investors and to raise the capital required to identify, acquire and advance new projects.
The shares will begin trading on the TSXVE on a post-consolidated basis on a date to be determined by consultations with the TSXVE. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Consolidation. Letters of transmittal describing the process by which shareholders may obtain new certificates representing their consolidated common shares will be mailed shortly to registered shareholders. Shares held in uncertificated form by non-registered shareholders through brokerage accounts will be converted at the Conversion Ratio through each shareholder’s brokerage accounts. Non-registered shareholders should consult their broker for further information.
