HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA / TheNewswire / May 15, 2018 – NOBELIUM TECH CORP. (“Nobelium” or the “Company”) a capital pool company, announces that it will not be proceeding with the previously announced purchase of all of the issued and outstanding shares of  Blockchain Royalty Corp. (“Blockchain Royalty”). Nobelium is a Capital Pool Company (“CPC”) and had intended that the transaction with Blockchain Royalty would constitute its “Qualifying Transaction”, as such term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”).

 

The Company is pleased to announce it has entered into a letter of intent dated May 14, 2018 (the “LOI”) with Maximos Metals Corp. (“Maximos”), a private company incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act whereby Nobelium and Maximos will complete an arrangement, amalgamation, share exchange or similar transaction to ultimately form the resulting issuer (the “Resulting Issuer”) who will continue on the business of Maximos (the “Transaction”), subject to the terms and conditions outlined below. Nobelium intends that the Transaction will constitute its Qualifying Transaction.

 

Nobelium’s shares have been halted from trading since the date of the announcement of the previous transaction with Blockchain Royalty. Nobelium expects that trading in its common shares will remain halted pending closing of the Qualifying Transaction with Maximos.

 

In connection with the Transaction, Nobelium anticipates that the 13,125,000 common shares in the capital of Nobelium (the “Nobelium Shares”) currently issued and outstanding will be consolidated (the “Consolidation”) on a basis of 1 post-Consolidation Nobelium Share for every 3 pre-Consolidation Nobelium Shares held. Nobelium will have approximately 4,375,000 Nobelium Shares issued and outstanding after the Consolidation. As a result of the Consolidation, the number, exchange basis or exercise price of all outstanding Nobelium stock options will also be adjusted, as applicable, to reflect the 3:1 Consolidation. The actual adjustment will be made by the Company in consultation with its advisors.

 

Summary of the Qualifying Transaction

 

The LOI contemplates Nobelium and Maximos completing a business combination transaction, pursuant to which Nobelium Shares, or Resulting Issuer shares (as the case may be), will be issued to holders of shares of Maximos on the basis of one post-Consolidation Nobelium Share (or Resulting Issuer share as applicable) for every one Maximos share (the “Exchange Ratio”). The final structure of the Transaction is subject to receipt of tax, corporate and securities law advice for both Maximos and Nobelium.

 

On completion of the Transaction, the securityholders of Maximos would own a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Resulting Issuer. The common shares of the Resulting Issuer will be listed for trading on the Exchange. The Transaction is not a “Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction” within the meaning of Policy 2.4 of the Exchange.

 

Nobelium intends to hold an annual and special meeting of Nobelium’s shareholders (the “Meeting”) pursuant to which the shareholders of Nobelium will be asked to approve, among other things: (i) the Consolidation; (ii) the change of name of Nobelium to a name provided by Maximos; and (iii) the appointment of new director(s), conditional upon completion of the Transaction.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, until the earliest of: (i) the execution of the Definitive Agreement; (ii) mutual agreement of Nobelium and Maximos; or (iii) the termination of the LOI in accordance with its terms, Nobelium and Maximos have agreed not to solicit, negotiate, accept or discuss with any other entity, any transaction that would be in opposition to or in competition with the Transaction.

 

The completion of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of various conditions as are standard for a transaction of this nature, including but not limited to: (i) the negotiation of the Definitive Agreement; (ii) receipt of all requisite regulatory, stock exchange, court or governmental approvals, authorizations and consents; (iii) the absence of any material change or a change in a material fact or a new material fact affecting Nobelium or Maximos; (iv) completion of the Private Placement (as defined below); and (v) if applicable, each company having received appropriate approvals from their shareholders. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed on the terms proposed above or at all.

Private Placement

 

In connection with the Transaction, it is anticipated that Maximos will complete a private placement of Maximos common shares. The size of the offering and the issue price at which the Maximos common shares will be sold are to be determined in the context of the market (the “Private Placement”). Subject to applicable laws and Exchange policies, it is anticipated that each Maximos share issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be exchangeable into freely tradable common shares of the Resulting Issuer upon completion of the Transaction in accordance with the Exchange Ratio.

 

The Resulting Issuer

 

Upon completion of the Transaction the Resulting Issuer is expected to change its name to “Maximos Metals Corp.” or such other name as determined by Maximos and the Resulting Issuer will be a mining issuer under the Exchange rules.
