Victoria, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Erin Ventures Inc. ("Erin" or the “Corporation”) [TSXV: EV] announces that further to its press release of August 11, 2017, management of the Corporation has decided to implement the consolidation of the fully paid and issued common shares of the Company on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation common share for each seven (7) pre-consolidation common shares (the “Consolidation Ratio”) issued and outstanding (the “Consolidation”) as approved by the shareholders of the Company (the “Shareholders”) at the special meeting of Shareholders held on August 11, 2017 (the “Meeting”).
As at August 25, 2017, there were a total of 316,938,996 common shares issued and outstanding. The exact number of post-Consolidation common shares to be issued will depend on the number of fractional shares that will result from the Consolidation, as no fractional post-Consolidation common shares will be issued. All fractional common shares resulting from the Consolidation will be rounded down to the nearest whole number and no cash will be paid in lieu of fractional post-Consolidation common shares. Accordingly, the total number of common shares issued and outstanding after the Consolidation is expected to be 45,276,943 (subject to fractional rounding).
Additionally, the number of common shares issuable pursuant to the Corporation’s stock option plan, warrants and convertible securities will be adjusted, such that the number of consolidated common shares issuable and the exercise price of the outstanding options, warrants or convertible securities will be adjusted by the Consolidation Ratio.
Subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, the Consolidation is scheduled to be effective at opening of the TSXV on Wednesday, August 30, 2017, from which date the existing issued share capital will be cancelled and replaced by the new consolidated common shares.
