MillenMin Ventures Inc. Amends Subscription Receipts

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

TORONTO, Oct. 1, 2018 /CNW/ - MillenMin Ventures Inc. (TSX-V: MVM) ("MillenMin") announces that it has reached agreement with the holders of its subscription receipts to amend the escrow release conditions and to extend the deadline for releasing the escrowed funds.

MillenMin issued 241,919,000 subscription receipts at a price of $0.10 per subscription receipt for gross proceeds of US$18,347,997 by means of a private placement completed on July 7, 2017.  The gross proceeds from the subscription receipt offering have been held in escrow pending satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions, including receipt of Cuban regulatory approvals required in connection with the acquisition of a 49% interest in a Cuban joint stock company seeking to develop a golf resort in Cuba (the "Cuban Transaction").

As the Cuban regulatory approvals have not to date been obtained and it remains uncertain when such approvals may be obtained, MillenMin has determined to actively pursue other transactional opportunities at the present time. Following the recommendations of an independent committee of directors established by MillenMin's Board of Directors to consider the matter, Millenmin has reached agreement with the holders of its subscription receipts to remove the completion of the Cuban Transaction as a condition for the release of the escrowed proceeds. Instead, as an escrow release condition, MillenMin will be required to complete a Change of Business transaction ("COB") or a Reverse Takeover transaction ("RTO") in accordance with the requirements of and with the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. In addition, the deadline for completing such a transaction has been extended from September 30, 2018 to March 29, 2019. If completion of such transaction and satisfaction of the other escrow release conditions have not been achieved by March 29, 2019, the escrowed proceeds will be returned to the subscription receipt holders and the subscription receipts will be cancelled.

An extraordinary meeting of the shareholders of MillenMin will be called and held as soon as possible, and in any event prior to March 29, 2019 and shareholders (other than those with an interest in the transaction) will be asked to approve and ratify the amendments to the terms of the subscription receipts. Pending completion of the shareholder vote, the subscription receipt holders and MillenMin have agreed that the proceeds of the subscription receipt financing will continue to be held in escrow.

Trading of the MillenMin shares remains halted on the TSX Venture Exchange and it is expected that the trading halt will continue until submissions to the TSX Venture Exchange for a COB or RTO transaction have been completed to the satisfaction of the TSX Venture Exchange or until it determines otherwise in its discretion.
