Further to its previous news release on Jan. 31, 2024, Benjamin Hill Mining Corp. has altered the consideration for its proposed acquisition of a further interest of Aion Mining Corp., bringing the company's total interest in Aion to 40 per cent.
Proposed Transaction
Originally, the total consideration of $1,875,000 for the Proposed Transaction (the "Consideration") was to be paid to Aion by the payment of $500,000 in cash and the issuance of 2,370,690 common shares in the Company at a deemed price of $0.58 per share. Through further negotiation between the parties, the Company and Aion have decided to alter the makeup of the $1,875,000, such that the consideration the Company will pay to Aion for the Proposed Transaction will be split as follows:$1,000,000 in cash on closing; and1,508,621 common shares of the Company at a deemed price of $0.58 per share, subject to CSE policies.
The Company will also grant a right of first refusal for two-years, allowing it to purchase common shares in Aion to offset any further issuances by Aion of securities in order to allow the Company the opportunity to maintain its 40% interest.
Aion is a non-arm's length party to the Company by reason of sharing a common director, Cole McClay. The alteration to the makeup of the consideration was reviewed and approved by a committee of the Company's independent directors.
