Anfield Energy Inc.
(TSX.V: AEC; OTCQB: ANLDF;
FRANKFURT: 0AD) (“Anfield” or “the
Company”) announced today that it has filed its notice of meeting
of shareholders, management information circular (the “Circular”),
and related documents (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”) with
securities regulators in connection with the special meeting (the
“Meeting”) of holders (“Shareholders”) of Anfield common shares.
The Meeting Materials have also been mailed to Shareholders. The
Meeting will take place on December 3, 2024 at 10:00 AM (Vancouver
Time) in accordance with an interim order of the Supreme Court of
British Columbia (the “Court”) obtained on October 31, 2024. The
circular and related materials have also been filed on Anfield’s
website at https://anfieldenergy.com.
The purpose of the Meeting is for Shareholders
to vote on a special resolution (the “Arrangement Resolution”) to
approve the proposed arrangement with IsoEnergy Ltd
(“IsoEnergy”).
As previously announced, on October 1, 2024,
Anfield entered into a definitive agreement (the “Arrangement
Agreement”) pursuant to which IsoEnergy will acquire all of the
issued and outstanding common shares of Anfield (the “Anfield
Shares“) by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement (the
“Arrangement“). Under the terms of the Arrangement, Anfield
shareholders will receive 0.031 of a common share of IsoEnergy
(each whole share, an “ISO Share“) for each Anfield Share held (the
“Exchange Ratio“). Existing shareholders of IsoEnergy and Anfield
will own approximately 83.8% and 16.2% on a fully-diluted in
the-money basis, respectively, of the outstanding ISO Shares on
closing of the Transaction.
The Exchange Ratio implies consideration of
$0.103 per Anfield Share, based on the closing price of the ISO
Shares over all Canadian exchanges on October 1, 2024. Based on
each company’s 20-day volume weighted average trading price over
all Canadian exchanges for the period ending October 1, 2024, the
Exchange Ratio implies a premium of 32.1% to the Anfield Share
price. The implied fully-diluted in the-money equity value of the
Transaction is equal to approximately $126.8 million.
The Arrangement Resolution requires approval of
at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by Shareholders, and at least a
simple majority of votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution
excluding the votes of those held or controlled by certain
interested persons as further described in the Circular.
Reasons for and Benefits of the
Arrangement

premium;
- Exposure to a larger, more
diversified portfolio of high-quality uranium exploration,
development and near-term production assets in tier one
jurisdictions of U.S., Canada and Australia;
- Entry

jurisdiction, with the high-grade Hurricane deposit;
- Upside

-

liquidity and research coverage; and

of Anfield Directors, Senior Officers and Major
Shareholder.

committee (the “Special Committee“) of independent members of
Anfield’s board of directors (the “Board“).The Board and the
Special Committee have determined that the Transaction is in the
best interests of Anfield and that the Consideration to be received

Meeting.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Information
This press release contains “forward-looking
information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities
legislation. Generally, forward-looking information can be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as
“plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”,
“scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or
“does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of such words
and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”,
“could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be
achieved”. These forward-looking statements or information may
relate to the Arrangement, including statements with respect to the
consummation and timing of the Arrangement; receipt and timing of
approval of Anfield’s shareholders with respect to the Arrangement;
the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement; the expected receipt
of court, regulatory and other consents and approvals relating to
the Arrangement; anticipated strategic and growth opportunities for
the combined company; the successful integration of the businesses
of IsoEnergy and Anfield; the prospects of each companies’
respective projects, including mineral resources estimates and
mineralization of each project; the potential for, success of and
anticipated timing of commencement of commercial production
including expectations with respect to any permitting, development
or other work that may be required to bring any of the projects
into development or production and any other activities, events or
developments that the companies expect or anticipate will or may
occur in the future..
Forward-looking statements are necessarily based
upon a number of assumptions that, while considered reasonable by
management at the time, are inherently subject to business, market
and economic risks, uncertainties and contingencies that may cause
actual results, performance or achievements to be materially
different from those expressed or implied by forward-looking
statements. Such assumptions include, but are not limited to,
assumptions that Anfield and IsoEnergy will complete the
Arrangement in accordance with, and on the timeline contemplated by
the terms and conditions of the relevant agreements; that the
parties will receive the required shareholder, regulatory, court
and stock exchange approvals and will satisfy, in a timely manner,
the other conditions to the closing of the Arrangement; the
accuracy of management’s assessment of the effects of the
successful completion of the Arrangement and that the anticipated
benefits of the Arrangement will be realized; the anticipated
mineralization of Anfield’s and IsoEnergy’s projects being
consistent with expectations and the potential benefits from such
projects and any upside from such projects; the price of uranium;
that general business and economic conditions will not change in a
materially adverse manner; that financing will be available if and
when needed and on reasonable terms; and that third party
contractors, equipment and supplies and governmental and other
approvals required to conduct the combined company’s planned
exploration activities will be available on reasonable terms and in
a timely manner. Although Anfield has attempted to identify
important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in forward-looking information,
there may be other factors that cause results not to be as
anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that
such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and
future events could differ materially from those anticipated in
such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue
reliance on forward-looking information.
Such statements represent the current views of
Anfield with respect to future events and are necessarily based
upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while considered
reasonable by Anfield,, are inherently subject to significant
business, economic, competitive, political and social risks,
contingencies and uncertainties. Risks and uncertainties include,
but are not limited to the following: the inability of IsoEnergy
and Anfield to complete the Arrangement; a material adverse change
in the timing of and the terms and conditions upon which the
Arrangement is completed; the inability to satisfy or waive all
conditions to closing the Arrangement; the failure to obtain
shareholder, regulatory, court or stock exchange approvals in
connection with the Arrangement; the inability of the combined
company to realize the benefits anticipated from the Arrangement
and the timing to realize such benefits; the inability of the
consolidated entity to realize the benefits anticipated from the
Arrangement and the timing to realize such benefits, including the
exploration and drilling targets described herein; growth prospects
and outlook of Anfield’s business; regulatory determinations and
delays; stock market conditions generally; demand, supply and
pricing for uranium; and general economic and political conditions
in Canada, the United States and other jurisdictions where the
applicable party conducts business. Other factors which could
materially affect such forward-looking information are described in
the risk factors in each of Anfield’s most recent annual
management’s discussion and analyses or annual information forms
and Anfield’s other filings with the Canadian securities regulators
which are available on Anfield’s profile on SEDAR+ at
www.sedarplus.ca. Anfield does not undertake to update any
forward-looking information, except in accordance with applicable
securities laws.
