Athena Gold Corporation (CSE:ATHA)(OTCQB:AHNR) ("Athena Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of its redomicile from the State of Delaware to the Province of British Columbia, Canada, by way of a merger into its British Columbia subsidiary, Nova Athena Gold Corp. ("Nova Athena") under section 275 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), together with concurrent name change, to form the amalgamated corporation which will continue under the name "Athena Gold Corporation" (the "Resulting Issuer") (the "Redomestication").
The Redomestication was approved by the holders of the Company's common shares at its Annual General and Special Meeting (the "Meeting") held March 27, 2025, by an affirmative vote of approximately 78.75% of the votes cast in respect thereof by shareholders present in person or by proxy at the Meeting.
The Company has set April 24, 2025, as the "Record Date", subject to approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange. At that time, the Resulting Issuer's common shares will commence trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange under its new ISIN/CUSIP Number. The new ISIN Number is CA04684R1055 and the new CUSIP Number is 04684R105.
Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Amalgamation dated February 4, 2025, the Company's shareholders will receive one common share in the capital of Nova Athena for each common share of the Company with the Resulting Issuer retaining its current name, Athena Gold Corporation, and current trading symbol "ATHA" on the Canadian Securities Exchange and on the OTCQB under trading symbol "AHNR".
As a result of the Redomestication, the Resulting Issuer's authorized capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares. Prior to the Redomestication the Company's authorized capital consisted of (i) 250,000,000 common shares, of which 194,803,633 common shares were issued and outstanding and 30,490,303 common shares were reserved for issuance, consisting of an aggregate of 25,260,303 share purchase warrants and 5,230,000 stock options; and (ii) 5,000,000 preferred shares, of which none were issued. On the Record Date of April 24, 2025, the Resulting Issuer will have 238,668,850 common shares issued and outstanding including 43,865,217 common shares previously issued to acquire the Laird Lake and Oneman Lake gold projects in Ontario and 30,490,303 common shares reserved for issuance, consisting of an aggregate of 25,260,303 share purchase warrants and 5,230,000 stock options. No preferred shares will be issued. The common shares held by Athena Gold in Nova Athena will be cancelled without payment of capital.
The Company's transfer agent, Endeavor Trust Corporation ("Endeavor"), has mailed out a letter of transmittal ("Letter of Transmittal") to all registered shareholders of Athena Gold whose common shares are held in the form of physical share certificates. Registered shareholders are required to deposit their original share certificate(s), together with a duly completed Letter of Transmittal, with Endeavor. Once received, Endeavor will deliver shares in the name of the Resulting Issuer to the registered shareholder in accordance with the terms of the Letter of Transmittal. A copy of the Letter of Transmittal will be available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca or can be obtained by contacting Endeavor. If a shareholder holds their common shares through the Direct Registration System (DRS), no action is required. Shareholders who hold their common shares through an intermediary (i.e., a bank, trust, company, securities broker, trustee, or other) should contact that intermediary for instructions or questions.
Further details regarding the terms and conditions of the Redomestication are set out in the Proxy Statement dated February 4, 2025, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. The Redomestication is expected, among other things, to significantly reduce Athena Gold's regulatory compliance costs, enhance its ability to access the capital markets and increase the number of potential investors.
