Ethos Gold Corp. (“
Ethos” or the
“
Company”) (TSXV:ECC) announces that, its annual
meeting, convened and then adjourned, on June 20, 2017, will be
reconvened on Tuesday, July 25, 2017, at 10:00 a.m. (PDT) at the
offices of the Company, Suite 1430 - 800 West Pender Street,
Vancouver, British Columbia (the “
Adjourned
Meeting”), at which time the Company’s shareholders (the
“
Shareholders”) will be asked to consider a
possible change of the Company’s business from a mining issuer to
an investment issuer (the “
Change of
Business”). The Company’s board of directors (the
“
Board”) and senior officers
(“
Management”) believe that it is in the Company’s
interests to consider whether the optimal allocation of the
Company’s working capital would be within the framework of an
investment issuer. To allow the Company to proceed expeditiously in
the event that the Board and Management, after completing their
deliberations, determine that the Change of Business is in the
Company’s best interests, the Board has decided to seek,
proactively, a Shareholder approval.
As such, at the Adjourned Meeting, the Company
will be asking Shareholders to consider and, if deemed advisable,
to pass, with or without variation, an ordinary resolution (the
full text of which is reproduced in the a supplement to the
management information circular mailed to the Shareholders on July
4, 2017) authorizing and approving a change of the Company’s
business from a mining issuer engaged in mineral exploration to an
investment issuer engaged in investing in privately held and
publicly-traded corporations. Notwithstanding an approval of the
Shareholders at the Adjourned Meeting, the Company has been advised
that the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) may require
the Company to seek a further approval of the Shareholders if and
when it decides to proceed with a Change of Business.
Investors are cautioned that the Company has not
yet entered into any investment letters of intent, term sheets or
contracts relating to any investments, or identified any specific
investment opportunities. The Change of Business, if and when it
proceeds, will be subject to TSXV approval, and possibly other
stock exchange approvals if the Company does not meet TSXV listing
requirements after the Change of Business. If the Company
proceeds with a Change of Business, Management expects that it
would propose a change of name of the Company to a name the Board
determines to be appropriate.

CEO
