(NEX:CKZ.H) (the "Company") held on Friday, May 4, 2018 (the "Company") where the Shareholders passed a special resolution to give authority to the Company's board of directors (the "Board of Directors") to effect: (i) a consolidation of all of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares (the "Consolidation") on the basis of one (1) new common share of the Company (each, a "New Common Share") for ninety million (90,000,000) existing common shares of the Company (each, a "Pre-Consolidation Common Share"); and (ii) the voluntary delisting of the Company's common shares from the NEX Board of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Delisting"), the Company announces today that the Board of Directors of the Company has made such Consolidation effective as at the date hereof.
