The Arrangement included a transfer of Ares’ ownership and rights in and to the Liard property and Vanadium Ridge property located in British Columbia, Canada to Enyo in consideration of 13,900,065 common shares of Enyo (the “Enyo Spinout Shares”). In addition, the Company completed a capital reorganization which included the renaming and re-designation of its common shares (the “Existing Ares Shares”) and the creation of a new class of common shares (the “New Ares Shares”). The Shareholders at the close of business on September 14, 2023 received one New Ares Share and 0.1 of an Enyo Spinout Share in exchange for each Existing Ares Share that was held by such Shareholder.

Following the closing of the Arrangement, Enyo is now a separate unlisted “reporting issuer” in each of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador. Enyo owns Ares’ interests in the Liard property and the Vanadium Ridge property.
