Virginia Energy Provides Update on Plan of Arrangement
=======================================================================
NR: 12-10
Virginia Energy Resources Inc.
(TSX.V: VAE) (OTCQX: VAERF) (the
"Company") is pleased to announce that the shareholders of the Company
have approved, and the Supreme Court of British Columbia has granted
the final order approving, the previously announced plan of arrangement
(the "Arrangement") under the Business Corporations Act (British
Columbia) involving the Company, VA Uranium Holdings, Inc.
("Holdco")
and Virginia Uranium Ltd.
("VUL") and their respective securityholders
under which the Company will spin out certain of its assets (the Otish
property in Quebec and shares of Holdco (which holds the Coles Hill
uranium project in Virginia)) to its wholly-owned subsidiary, VUL, and
a consolidation of the ownership of Holdco into VUL through a merger of
Holdco into VUL.
Pursuant to the Arrangement, the Company will change
its name to "Anthem Resources Incorporated" ("Anthem Resources").
The
new company that results from the merger of Holdco into VUL will own
100% of the Coles Hill uranium project and the Otish property and shall
take over the name "Virginia Energy Resources Inc." ("Virginia
Energy").
Under the Arrangement, current shareholders of the Company as at the
effective date of the Arrangement (the "Effective Date") will be
entitled to receive, for each common share of the Company ("Existing
VAE Shares") held as at such date: (a) 1/3 of a post-Arrangement
common share of Anthem Resources ("Anthem Common Shares"); and (b) 0.1
of a common share of Virginia Energy ("Virginia Energy Common Shares");
and shareholders of Holdco (other than the Company and VUL) as at the
Effective Date will be entitled to receive 0.1817 of a Virginia Energy
Common Share for each non-voting common share of Holdco held.
Assuming no currently outstanding convertible securities of the Company
are exercised prior to the Effective Date, the issued capital of
post-Arrangement Anthem Resources is expected to be approximately
32,504,746 Anthem Common Shares, 100% of which will be held by the
Company shareholders as at the Effective Date.
Assuming no currently outstanding convertible securities of the Company
or Holdco are exercised prior to the Effective Date, the issued capital
of post-Arrangement Virginia Energy is expected to be approximately
33,150,753 Virginia Energy Common Shares, of which approximately 29.4%
will be held by the Company shareholders as at the Effective Date and
approximately 70.6% will be held by Holdco shareholders as at the
Effective Date.
It is anticipated that Virginia Energy will enter into an escrow
agreement as of the Effective Date with Computershare Investor Services
Inc., as escrow agent, and the Principals (as such term is defined
under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV")) of
Virginia Energy whereby such Principals Virginia Energy Common Shares
will be deposited into escrow and released from escrow as to 10% on the
listing of the Virginia Energy Common Shares on the TSXV and then in
six tranches of 15% at six month intervals over the 36 months
thereafter.
The Arrangement is expected to complete at 10:00 am on Thursday,
September 27, 2012 (the "Effective Time").
Application has been made to
list the Virginia Energy Common Shares on the TSXV.
Such listing is
subject to compliance with all of the TSXV requirements, including
receipt by the TSXV of all required documentation.
New Virginia Energy
Common Shares are expected to commence trading on the TSXV on Friday,
September 28, 2012 under the stock symbol VUI.
Advance notice of the
commencement of such trading will be provided by a bulletin issued by
the TSXV.
Entitlement to Virginia Energy Common Shares
Anthem Common Shares are anticipated to trade on the TSXV on Friday,
September 28, 2012 under the symbol AYN.
Common shares of the Company will continue to trade on the TSXV as
Existing VAE Shares with an entitlement to Anthem Common Shares and
Virginia Energy Common Shares until the Existing VAE Common Shares are
delisted from the TSXV at the close of trading on the Effective Date,
despite the fact that the Effective Time for the implementation of the
Arrangement will have occurred at 10:00 am on the Effective Date.
Accordingly, in order to receive Anthem Common Shares and Virginia
Energy Common Shares, an investor must execute a trade to purchase
Existing VAE Shares on the TSXV prior to the delisting of the Existing
VAE Shares.
Exchange of Existing VAE Shares
If your Existing VAE Shares are held through your broker, then your
broker, or the depository with which your broker holds such shares,
will be responsible for dealing with the exchange of Existing VAE
Shares for Anthem Common Shares (CUSIP 03674T105) and the distribution
of Virginia Energy Common Shares (CUSIP 92780V104) on your behalf.
The Company will be mailing letters of transmittal to all eligible
registered shareholders.
To receive certificates representing Anthem
Common Shares and Virginia Energy Common Shares, registered
shareholders must surrender their certificates for Existing VAE Shares,
together with a duly completed letter of transmittal, to Computershare
Investor Services Inc.
(the "Exchange Agent") at the address shown on
the letter of transmittal.
Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent for cancellation of a certificate
representing Existing VAE Shares, together with a properly executed
letter of transmittal, the holder of such surrendered certificate will
be entitled to receive, and the Exchange Agent will deliver to such
holder, certificates representing that number (rounded to the nearest
whole number) of Anthem Common Shares and Virginia Energy Common Shares
that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the plan of
arrangement and the surrendered certificate will be cancelled.
On Behalf of the Board of Directors of
VIRGINIA ENERGY RESOURCES INC.
