TSXV: YSK.P
/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/
VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 26, 2024 /CNW/ – Space Kingdom Digital Capital Corp. (the “Company”), a capital pool company (“CPC”) listed on the TSX Venture Exchange Inc. (the “TSXV”), is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent dated September 25, 2024 (the “Letter of Intent”) with Supchalernphunmai Mining Sole Co., Ltd (“Supcha Mining”), an arm’s length mining company incorporated in Laos. Supcha Mining currently holds mining and processing licenses in connection with the Supchalernphunmai Mine located in the Houaphanh Province of eastern Laos.
The Letter of Intent sets forth the basic terms and conditions upon which the Company and Supcha Mining will combine their business operations resulting in a reverse takeover of the Company by Supcha Mining and its shareholders (the “Proposed Transaction”), which is intended to constitute the Company’s “Qualifying Transaction”, as such term is defined in the TSXV Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies (“Policy 2.4”), resulting in the combination of the Company and Supcha Mining (the “Resulting Issuer”). Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, and subject to receipt of all requisite approvals, it is anticipated that the Resulting Issuer’s common shares (the “Resulting Issuer Shares”) will be listed and posted for trading on the TSXV as a Tier 2 Mining Issuer and will carry on the business of Supcha Mining.
Pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, the Company, or a subsidiary thereof, is proposing to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Supcha Mining, in exchange for common shares of the Company, at an exchange ratio to be determined upon the completion of further legal, financial, and operational due diligence.
About the Supcha Mining
Supcha Mining is a company incorporated in Laos and holds mining and processing licenses in connection with the Supchalernphunmai Mine located in the Houaphanh Province of eastern Laos. The production process of Supcha Mining involves all aspects of the mining value chain, from exploration, planning and building, mining the mineral, processing and blending, and finally shipping and selling the material to various countries. Supcha Mining aims to utilize efficient mining and processing techniques that enable low cost of production while seeking to maintain internationally recognised standards for safety and environmental management.
The Transaction
The acceptance of the Letter of Intent is being followed by good faith negotiations of definitive documentation (the “Definitive Agreement”), among the parties setting forth the detailed terms of the Proposed Transaction, including market valuation which shall be used to determine the final percentages of the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares that will be represented by shareholders of Space Kingdom and Supcha Mining, at the closing of the Transaction. The Definitive Agreement will replace the Letter of Intent and will include the basic understandings set out in the Letter of Intent and such other terms and conditions as are customary for transactions of similar nature and magnitude of the Proposed Transaction. The Proposed Transaction is intended to proceed by way of three-cornered amalgamation or such other transaction structure as the parties may determine after receipt by the parties of such tax, corporate and securities law advice as each party may receive from their respective advisors. Additional information respecting the structure and valuation will be provided in subsequent press releases, once available.
The Proposed Transaction is not anticipated to be a “Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction”, as that term is defined in Policy 2.4 and consequently, it is expected that the Proposed Transaction will not be subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders.
The shares of the Resulting Issuer issued to Principals (within the meaning of the TSXV’s policies) of the Resulting Issuer will be subject to escrow restrictions in accordance with the TSXV’s policies. In addition, the shares of the Resulting Issuer issued to other shareholders of Supcha Mining may be subject to resale restrictions as required by the TSXV’s policies.
Closing of the Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including but not limited to satisfactory due diligence investigations, the negotiation and execution of the Definitive Agreement, receipt of all required shareholder, regulatory and third-party approvals and consents, including that of the TSXV, and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, as well as completion of the Concurrent Financing (discussed below). The Proposed Transaction cannot close until the required approvals are obtained. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.
Concurrent Financing
The Proposed Transaction is subject to completion of a private placement financing (the “Concurrent Financing”) for aggregate gross proceeds of such amount as required in order to meet the listing requirements under the policies of TSXV. The securities issued pursuant to the Concurrent Financing will be immediately exchanged on closing of the Transaction for shares of the Resulting Issuer at the exchange ratio as may be mutually agreed upon between the Company and Supcha Mining. The final terms as to the structure of the Concurrent Financing and any commission and/or finder’s fees are subject to the final agreement between the Company and Supcha Mining and will be provided in subsequent news releases.
Sponsorship
The Proposed Transaction is subject to the sponsorship requirements of the TSXV unless a waiver from those requirements is granted. The Company intends to apply for a waiver from the sponsorship requirements; however, there can be no assurance that a waiver will be obtained. If a waiver from the sponsorship requirements is not obtained, a sponsor will be identified at a later date. An agreement to act as sponsor in respect of the Proposed Transaction should not be construed as any assurance with respect to the merits of the Proposed Transaction or the likelihood of its completion. Additional information respecting sponsorship will be provided once available.
Filing Statement
In connection with the Proposed Transaction and pursuant to the requirements of the TSXV, the Company intends to file an information circular/filing statement on its issuer profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.com), which will contain relevant details regarding the Proposed Transaction, the Company, Supcha Mining, and the Resulting Issuer.
