VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Dec. 10, 2013) -
THIS RELEASE IS INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION IN CANADA ONLY AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
Jayden Resources Inc. (TSX:JDN) ("Jayden" or the "Company") announces that further to its press releases dated August 30, 2013 and October 25, 2013, the Company has completed its previously announced rights offering (the "Rights Offering").
Pursuant to the Rights Offering, Jayden will issue in total 25,139,641 ordinary shares (the "Ordinary Shares") at a subscription price of $0.10 per Ordinary Share (the "Subscription Price"), providing gross proceeds of $2,513,964. The Company's total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares will increase to 50,279,282.
As described in the prospectus for the Rights Offering, Gather Success Holdings Limited ("Gather Success") agreed to purchase from the Company at the Subscription Price any Ordinary Shares (the "Standby Ordinary Shares") that were not otherwise subscribed for under the Rights Offering. Gather Success purchased a total of 4,687,364 Standby Ordinary Shares for $468,736. In consideration for Gather Success agreeing to subscribe for the Standby Ordinary Shares, Gather Success will be issued an additional 2,513,964 Ordinary Shares, which is equal to 10% of the number of rights offered pursuant to the Rights Offering (the "Standby Guarantor Shares"). Because Gather Success is a company controlled by Letty Wan, the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, pursuant to the policies of the TSX, disinterested shareholder approval will be required at the Company's next Annual General Meeting for approval of the issuance of the Standby Guarantor Shares. In the event that such disinterested shareholder approval is not obtained, Gather Success will be entitled to a cash fee equal to $251,396.
The Ordinary Shares will not be and have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. person, absent registration or an applicable exemption therefrom. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in any jurisdiction, including the United States, or to or for the account or benefit of U.S. persons absent U.S. registration or an applicable exemption therefrom, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state. "United States" and "U.S. person" are as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.
