TSX VENTURE: GBE
VANCOUVER, June 19, 2018 /CNW/ - Goldbelt Empires Limited
(TSX-V: GBE) (the "Company" or "Goldbelt Empires") is
pleased to announce that the Company intends to complete a brokered
private placement of post-Consolidation (as defined herein)
ordinary shares of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at a
price of $0.46 per Ordinary Share
(the "Issue Price") for gross proceeds of up to $5,500,000 (the "Private Placement"). The
Company intends on using the proceeds from the Private Placement to
fund acquisitions by the Company and for general corporate
purposes.
In addition, the Agent (as defined below) has been granted the
option to sell up to an additional 1,793,478 Ordinary Shares at the
Issue Price, for additional gross proceeds of approximately
$825,000, exercisable in whole or in
part at any time prior to the closing of the Private Placement.
The Private Placement will be conducted on a best efforts agency
basis by Gravitas Securities Inc. (the "Agent"). In
consideration for the services provided in connection with the
Private Placement, the Agent will receive a cash fee of 8% of the
gross proceeds of the Private Placement and Ordinary Share purchase
warrants ("Broker Warrants") equal to 8% of the number of
Ordinary Shares issued under the Private Placement. Each Broker
Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Ordinary
Share at the Issue Price for a period of 36 months from the date
such Broker Warrants were issued. The Company will also pay
the Agent a corporate finance fee equal to that number of Ordinary
Shares which is equal to 5% of the aggregate number of Ordinary
Shares issued under the Private Placement.
Among other items, the Company is seeking approval from its
shareholders at its general meeting scheduled for June 26, 2018 to consolidate its ordinary shares
on a 6.5 to 1 basis (the "Consolidation") and to delist (the
"Delisting") its ordinary shares from the TSX Venture
Exchange ("TSX-V"). It is anticipated that the Private
Placement will be completed after the Company's shareholders have
approved the Consolidation and the Delisting and that the ordinary
shares issuable pursuant to the Private Placement will not be
listed on the TSX-V. Reference is also made to the press release of
the Company dated April 17, 2018
announcing the binding letter agreement between the Company and
Integrated Compliance Solutions, LLC.
The closing of the Private Placement is subject to certain
conditions, including the receipt of all necessary regulatory and
shareholder approvals. The ordinary shares will be subject to a
statutory four-month hold period, and such other restrictions as
may be required by applicable securities laws.
