TORONTO, Aug. 10 /CNW/ - Chrysalis Capital VII Corporation (the "Corporation") announces that it has entered into an agreement, dated August 10, 2010 with Alexander Nubia Inc. ("ANI") providing for the revision to the terms of ANI's previously announced brokered private placement as well as amendments to the terms of the acquisition agreement described in the filing statement of the Corporation dated May 31, 2010 (filed on SEDAR on June 2, 2010) (the "Filing Statement"). It is anticipated that the Corporation will file an amended Filing Statement (the "Amended Filing Statement") in due course.
Revised ANI Private Placement Terms
Pursuant to a new engagement letter dated August 10, 2010 among the Corporation, ANI and Macquarie Private Wealth Inc. ("Macquarie"), ANI intends to raise up to $5,000,000 in a brokered private placement, led by Macquarie along with HB Markets Plc, Industrial Alliance Securities and Secutor Capital Management as sub-agents, of up to 20,000,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.25 per Unit on a commercially reasonable efforts basis (the "Private Placement"). Each Unit is comprised of one common share of ANI (the "ANI Shares") and one-half common share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each whole Warrant is exercisable for a period of two years and will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of ANI at a price of $0.375 during the first year or one common share of ANI at a price of $0.50 during the second year.
In consideration for Macquarie's services in connection with the Private Placement, Macquarie will be paid a fee equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement. In addition, Macquarie will receive broker warrants ("Broker Warrants") equal to 10% of the number of Units sold under the Private Placement. Each Broker Warrant will entitle Macquarie and its sub-agents to purchase an ANI Share for twenty-four months at a price of $0.25 per ANI Share.
The Private Placement is being completed in connection with the Corporation's proposed qualifying transaction with ANI (the "Proposed Transaction") and the terms of this Private Placement supersede any private placement terms detailed in the Filing Statement. The closing of the Private Placement is conditional on, among other things, customary conditions, completion of satisfactory due diligence by Macquarie, all necessary regulatory approvals and the completion of the Proposed Transaction. ANI intends to use the proceeds of the Private Placement for the continued exploration of the mineral exploration concessions of ANI, to pay the costs of the Proposed Transaction and for general working capital purposes.
Amendment to ANI May 2010 Non-Brokered Financing
In connection with the revisions to the terms of the Private Placement, ANI has agreed to revise the effective price and terms of the 426,000 units (the "Non-Brokered Units") issued to investors in the non-brokered private placement which closed in May, 2010, consistent with the revised price and terms of the Units to be issued under the Private Placement (being $0.25 per Non-Brokered Unit). The Non-Brokered Units were originally issued at a price of $0.50 per Non-Brokered Unit, with each Non-Brokered Unit comprised of one ANI Share and one-half of one share purchase warrant (the "Original Warrants") with each whole Original Warrant entitling the holder to acquire a further ANI Share for a period of two years exercisable at $0.75 in the first year and $1.00 in the second year. To effect the re-pricing, ANI will issue these investors an aggregate of 426,000 additional ANI shares for no additional consideration. In addition ANI will cancel the Original Warrants and issue an aggregate of 426,000 replacement warrants, exercisable for a period of two years from the original closing date at a price of $0.375 in the first year, and $0.50 thereafter.
Amendments to ANI Performance Shares
The Corporation and ANI have also agreed to amend the terms of the performance milestones which must be met by the Resulting Issuer (as defined herein) in connection with the issuance of an aggregate of 10,000,000 ANI Shares (the "Performance Shares") to certain directors, officers and consultants upon ANI achieving certain milestones with respect to the mineral exploration concessions. The milestones which trigger the issuance of these shares are the establishment of a Mineral Resource as defined by the Canadian Institute of Mining. Under the revised terms, the Performance Shares will be issuable by the Resulting Issuer (as defined herein) as follows:
1. if a Mineral Resource of at least 1.0 million oz of gold or gold equivalent resource is established - 3,333,334 ANI Common Shares; 2. if a Mineral Resource of at least 1.0 million oz of gold or gold equivalent resource is established and ANI is listed on, or completes a business combination transaction with another entity listed on a recognized stock exchange on or before October 31, 2010 - 1,666,666 ANI Shares; 3. if a Mineral Resource of at least 1.5 million oz of gold or gold equivalent resource is established - 1,666,666 ANI Shares; 4. if a Mineral Resource of at least 1.5 million oz of gold or gold equivalent resource is established and ANI is listed on, or completes a business combination transaction with another entity listed on a recognized stock exchange on or before October 31, 2010 - 833,333 ANI Shares; 5. if a Mineral Resource of at least 2.0 million oz of gold or gold equivalent resource is established - 1,666,666 ANI Shares; and 6. if a Mineral Resource of at least 2.0 million oz of gold or gold equivalent resource is established and ANI is listed on, or completes a business combination transaction with another entity listed on a recognized stock exchange on or before October 31, 2010 - 833,333 ANI Shares.
Amendments to the Amalgamation
As a result of the revised Private Placement, the Corporation and ANI have agreed to amend the terms of the three-cornered amalgamation, pursuant to which the Corporation will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of ANI (the "Amalgamation"). Under the revised terms of the Amalgamation, the Corporation will now issue 1.666667 common shares for each one (1) ANI Share (the "Exchange Ratio") outstanding immediately prior to the Amalgamation (instead of 2.2222222 common shares of the Corporation for every one (1) ANI Share, as previously announced). All other terms of the Amalgamation will remain as previously disclosed in the Filing Statement.
In connection with the Amalgamation, it is anticipated that the Corporation will issue 49,784,998 common shares to holders of ANI Shares; excluding any shares issued pursuant to the Private Placement. As such, upon completion of the Amalgamation and the Private Placement, there will be 89,118,332 common shares of the resulting issuer corporation (the "Resulting Issuer") issued and outstanding on an undiluted basis assuming the entire Private Placement is sold.
