Done deal - GoWest has gone east - now owned by China
Gowest Gold Ltd. has completed its previously announced plan of arrangement of the Company under Section 182 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "Arrangement"), pursuant to which a group of existing shareholders of Gowest (the "Acquiring Group") acquired all of the outstanding common shares of Gowest ("Shares") not already owned by the Acquiring Group, for cash consideration of $0.15 per Share (the "Share Consideration"), resulting in the members of Acquiring Group being the only shareholders of the Company.
Further, pursuant to the Arrangement, (i) all outstanding common share purchase warrants of Gowest were acquired by the Company for an amount in cash per warrant equal to the amount, if any, by which the Share Consideration exceeded the exercise price of such warrant, and (ii) all outstanding stock options of Gowest were acquired by the Company for an amount in cash per stock option equal to the amount, if any, by which the Share Consideration exceeded the exercise price of such stock option.
The Shares are expected to be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") on or about September 24, 2024. The Company intends to submit an application to the applicable securities regulators to have Gowest cease to be a reporting issuer and terminate its public reporting obligations.
