GobiMin Inc. Announces Completion of Privatization

TSX-V:GMN

TORONTO, March 7, 2023 /CNW/ - (TSXV: GMN) GobiMin Inc. ("GobiMin" or the "Company") announces that its privatization by way of share consolidation and purchase of fractional post-consolidated shares for cancellation has been completed resulting in Belmont Holdings Group Limited ("Belmont") as the sole shareholder of the Company.  Belmont, a British Virgin Islands company, is wholly-owned and controlled by Mr. Felipe Tan, the President, the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company.

On March 6, 2023, the common shares of the Company were consolidated on the basis of 30,000,000 pre-consolidated common shares to one post-consolidated common shares resulting in only Belmont holding at least one whole post-consolidated common share.  On March 7, 2023, the fractional post-consolidated shares held by holders of less than one post-consolidated share were deemed to be purchased and cancelled and the rights of such former holders are limited to receiving without interest a cash payment of CAN$1.84, less any amount in respect of taxes required by law to be deducted or withheld, for each pre-consolidation common share held immediately prior to the share consolidation against presentation and surrender of their share certificates together with a duly completed letter of transmittal.

Those who were registered shareholders with addresses outside of China will need to present and surrender to Computershare Investor Services Inc. their share certificates representing their common shares together with a duly completed letter of transmittal.  Those who were registered shareholders with addresses in China (and for greater certainty, China includes Hong Kong) will need to present and surrender to the Company their share certificates representing their common shares together with a duly completed letter of transmittal.  The applicable letter of transmittal form was included with the mailing of the notice and information circular for the special meeting of shareholders of the Company that was held on February 24, 2023 and is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.  Those who were registered shareholders are directed to the detailed instructions in the letter of transmittal form and the information circular for the presentation and surrender of their share certificates for payment of the purchase price.  Those who were beneficial shareholders (that is, holding through brokers, investment dealers, banks, trust companies or other nominees) should contact their intermediary who held the common shares on their behalf to confirm or arrange for the delivery of the purchase price to which they are entitled.

The common shares of the Company are expected to be delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange after market close on or after March 9, 2023 and the Company will be applying to applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities to cease to be a reporting issuer in the relevant provinces.
