Century Global Commodities
Corporation (“
Century” or the
“
Company”) has completed its previously announced
acquisition from WISCO Canada ADI Resources Development &
Investment Limited (“
WISCO ADI”), a 23.5%
shareholder of Century, of WISCO ADI’s joint venture interests in
Century’s Attikamagen and Sunny Lake iron ore projects (the
“
Joint Venture Interests”) in exchange for net
cash consideration of $1.17 million (the
“
Acquisition”). The Acquisition was completed
through the facilities of the Shanghai United Assets and Equity
Exchanges (the “
Shanghai United Exchange”).
As a result of the completion of the
Acquisition, Century’s joint venture agreements with WISCO ADI for
Century’s Attikamagen and Sunny Lake iron ore projects have been
terminated and Century is now the owner of a 100% interest in each
of these projects through its wholly owned subsidiaries. In
addition, Century and WISCO ADI have agreed not to pursue any joint
venture for the Duncan Lake iron ore project. WISCO ADI continues
to be the owner of 23,197,768 common shares of the Company,
representing 23.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Century.
Additional details of the Acquisition are included in Century’s
news release dated November 2, 2020.
Sandy Chim, CEO of Century commented: “We
are very pleased with the completion of the transaction, which will
consolidate 100% interests of our joint ventures with our strategic
partner, Baowu, to allow Century the full flexibility to advance
our iron projects, particularly our flag ship Joyce Lake project,
at a time when the iron ore market has been performing very well
for a couple of years. In addition, the Acquisition has
substantially increased our liquidity and the balance sheet
position with the consolidation of our Attikamagen and Sunny Lake
project subsidiaries.
We would also take this opportunity to thank
Baowu, who will continue to be our important strategic partner and
shareholder holding approximately 23.5% of the Company, for all the
support over the years and going forward. We look forward to
creating great value with these newly consolidated assets for them
and all our shareholders of the Company.”
