(via TheNewswire)
November 6, 2024 – TheNewswire – Vancouver, BC – Acme Gold Company Limited (CSE: AGE) (“Acme ” or the “Company ”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent ”), dated effective November 5, 2024, with Canadian Global Energy Corp. (“CGE ”), an arms-length private oil and gas company, in respect of a proposed transaction whereby the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of CGE (the “CGE Shares ”) on the basis of 1,600 common shares of the Company for each CGE Share (the “Transaction ”). The Transaction would result in CGE shareholders holding approximately 87% of Acme, on a non-diluted basis and prior to giving effect to the Concurrent Financing (as defined below), which would constitute a reverse takeover of Acme by CGE . Upon completion of the Transaction, it is anticipated that CGE will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acme and Acme will carry on the business of CGE as currently constituted.
CG E holds 100% of Offshore Hydrocarbon Reconnaissance License No. LPRA-002 issued by the Liberia Petroleum Regulatory Authority (the “Reconnaissance License ”). The Reconnaissance License comprises Blocks LB-26, LB-30 and LB-31, three contiguous Blocks encompassing 8,934 square kilometers (~ 2.2 million acres), nearly 40% of Liberia’s offshore Harper basin. Existing 2D and 6,100 square kilometers (~1.5 million acres) of high-quality 3D seismic data define the Block’s prospective resource. This prospective resource is hosted in the prolific “deepwater fan/channel play”, one that contains the multi-billion-barrel producing hydrocarbon accumulations in Guyana, Ghana and neighboring Cote d’Ivoire directly east of the Harper basin.
Under the terms of the Letter of Intent, the proposed principal terms of the Transaction include that the Company will: (i) apply to list its common shares for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV ”) under the symbol “BLU” and voluntarily delist its common shares from the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE ”); (ii) continue into the Province of Alberta and change its name to “Blu Energies Ltd.”, (iii) consolidate its common shares on a two-for-one basis, and (iv) reconstitute its board of directors and management to include such individuals as will be determined by CGE.
In connection with the completion of the Transaction, the Company expects to undertake a private placement (the “Concurrent Financing ”). Further information regarding the Concurrent Financing and the applicable terms will be provided as soon as available. No finders’ fees or commissions are payable in connection with the Transaction, although finders’ fees may be paid in connection with the Concurrent Financing.
Completion of the Transaction remains subject to a number of conditions, including the completion of satisfactory due diligence, the negotiation and finalization of definitive documentation, the receipt of any required regulatory, shareholder and third-party consents, approvals and authorizations, the TSXV having conditionally accepted the listing of the Company’s common shares, the CSE having consented to the voluntarily delisting of the Company’s common shares, and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
Readers are cautioned that the Letter of Intent does not bind the Company to complete the Transaction and will automatically terminate after 31 days in the event a definitive agreement cannot be reached. The Transaction cannot close until the required approvals are obtained and the above-noted conditions are satisfied. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all, or that the Company’s common shares will be listed and posted for trading on the TSXV as proposed.
Additional information regarding the Transaction will be made available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) as such information becomes available.
Neither the CSE, nor the TSXV, has in any way passed upon the merits of the proposed Transaction and has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this news release.
