July 09 2014 - 7:40AM
Marketwired Canada
AXMIN Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AXM) ("AXMIN" or the "Company") announces that AXMIN's
major shareholder, Dickson Resources Limited ("Dickson"), has agreed to provide
the Company with a revolving line of credit (the "Loan") in the principal amount
of Cdn$250,000 ("Credit Limit"). Any request for an advance may be made from
time to time and in such amounts as the Company may choose; provided any
requested advance will not, when added to the outstanding principal balance of
all previous advances, exceed the Credit Limit. All sums advanced bear interest
from the date each advance is made until paid in full at the rate of ten percent
(10%) per annum, simple interest. All principal and interest is repayable within
24 months of the date of the first advance (the "Maturity Date"). The Company
may make early repayment of the Loan at any time prior to the Maturity Date
without any prepayment penalty.
In the event of a Change of Control, the sums advanced and any accrued interest
is repayable on the effective date of the Change of Control whereby a "Change of
Control" is defined as: i) any person or group of persons are acting jointly or
in concert acquiring, directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or a
series of transactions, beneficial ownership or control or direction over thirty
percent (30%) or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Company; or
ii) any merger, amalgamation, arrangement or other reorganization by the Company
with another person or corporation that is not, prior to the merger,
amalgamation, arrangement or reorganization, an affiliate of the Company and in
which voting securities of the Company possessing more than fifty percent (50%)
of the total combined voting power of the Company's outstanding securities are
transferred to a person or persons different from the persons holding those
securities immediately prior to such transaction and the composition of the
board of directors (the "Board") following such transaction is such that the
directors of the Company prior to the transaction constitute less than fifty
percent (50%) of the Board's membership following the transaction.
The proceeds will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
AXMIN's Chairman and CEO, Lucy Yan, comments: "On behalf of the board of
directors and the management, I would like to thank Dickson for its continuous
support of the Company."
Dickson currently holds 45,000,000 common shares of AXMIN ("Common Shares"),
representing approximately 41.3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as
of the date hereof on a non-diluted basis and is a "related party" of AXMIN
within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority
Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). As such, the Loan
constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of MI 61-101. The
Company is relying on an exemption from the minority approval requirement that
applies to related party transactions, which exemption is available to the
Company as (i) the Loan comprises a loan or credit facility obtained on
reasonable commercial terms that are not less advantageous to the Company than
if the loan or credit facility were obtained from a person dealing at arm's
length with the Company; (ii) the Loan is not convertible into equity or voting
securities of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company; and (iii) the Loan is
not repayable as to principal or interest in equity or voting securities of the
Company or a subsidiary of the Company.
The Loan agreement has been reviewed by the Board and was approved by all
independent directors of the Board. Lucy Yan was the Chairman of the board of
directors of Dickson until December 24, 2013 and accordingly abstained from
voting with respect to the Loan. Ms. Yan does not currently hold any securities
of the Company and it is not anticipated that the Loan will result in any
securities of the Company being owned by Ms. Yan. The directors eligible to vote
on the approval of the Loan have determined that it is in the best interests of
the Company to gain access to the funds pursuant to the Loan and have determined
that it is reasonable for the Loan to close in fewer than 21 days from the
announcement of the Loan.
