Select information:
- On October 15, 2012, NewNorth sold its 50% interest in GDC-NNP LP a partnership with the Gwich'in Development Corporation, a corporation that operates independently of but is wholly owned by the Gwich'in Tribal Council. The partnership operated a warehouse and owned vacant land, both in Inuvik, NT. The gross proceeds of the sale were $100,000.
- On December 21, 2012, NewNorth signed an agreement to sell the land it owned adjacent to Cochrane, AB. The gross proceeds from the sale were $2,000,000. The sale closed on March 1, 2013. On receipt of the proceeds from the sale, a short-term loan to one of NewNorth's independent directors was repaid in full in the amount of $547,856.
- On March 1, 2013, NewNorth signed a conditional agreement to sell its 50% share in the Kinniburgh South Limited Partnership ("Kinniburgh") (the "Chestermere Transaction"). Kinniburgh owns approximately 70 acres of residential land near Chestermere, AB. The Chestermere Transaction is subject to various conditions including but not limited to receiving the approval of NewNorth's shareholders ("Shareholders"), the other limited partner of Kinniburgh and the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"). The board of directors of NewNorth is holding a special meeting of Shareholders on April 30, 2013 where NewNorth will seek approval for the Chestermere Transaction. The gross proceeds from the sale are expected to be $3,500,000 and the closing date of the sale is expected to be on or about May 7, 2013. The same party who entered into the agreement to purchase the Kinniburgh interest had also provided a short-term $500,000 loan to NewNorth on June 1, 2012. The sale agreement states that the loan will be forgiven as part of the consideration but the accrued interest is to be paid to the party that granted the loan on or before the closing date. In the event that Chestermere Transaction is not completed, NewNorth is obligated to repay the loan at the date that the sale transaction would have closed.
