Chemesis Announces Proposed Spin-out of Bullard Property Assets

Chemesis International Inc. (CSE:CSI, OTCQB:CADMF) (the “Company” or “Chemesis”), is pleased to announce that it has entered into an arrangement agreement with IMC International Mining Corp. (“IMC”) dated November 29, 2018 (the “Arrangement Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company intends to spin out its various interests in mineral claims located in the vicinity of the Harcuvar and Harquahala Mountains, Yavapai County, Arizona (the “Bullard Pass Property”) into IMC through a Plan of Arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Arrangement”). Upon completion of the Arrangement, IMC will own the Bullard Pass Property.

The Arrangement is designed to deliver greater value to the shareholders of Chemesis (the “Chemesis Shareholders”) by unlocking the value in the Company’s assets at the Bullard Pass Property by transferring such assets into a separate entity and managing accordingly.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, IMC will hold a 100% interest in the Bullard Pass Property and will focus on the advancement of this project, and Chemesis will concentrate its efforts on the advancement of its cannabis business.

The Arrangement

The Arrangement will include a transfer of the Bullard Pass Property to IMC. Pursuant to the Arrangement, Chemesis intends to distribute 100% of the common shares of IMC it receives to Chemesis Shareholders on a pro rata basis. Chemesis Shareholders will be entitled to receive one common share of IMC for every twenty common shares of Chemesis held as of the date of the Arrangement Agreement. There will be no change in shareholders’ holdings in Chemesis as a result of the Arrangement.

Each outstanding stock option of Chemesis (a “Chemesis Option”) will be deemed to be exchanged for a fully-vested replacement stock option of Chemesis (a “Chemesis Replacement Option”) and one twentieth of one fully-vested stock option of IMC (an “IMC Option”), with the same terms as the Chemesis Options.

Each outstanding common share purchase warrants of Chemesis (a “Chemesis Warrant”) will be deemed to be exchanged for one fully-vested common share purchase warrant of Chemesis (a “Chemesis Replacement Warrant”) and one twentieth of one fully-vested common share purchase warrant of IMC (an “IMC Warrant”), with the same terms as the Chemesis Warrants.

The Arrangement is subject to final court approval, as well as approval by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast at the annual general and special meeting (the “Meeting”) of Chemesis Shareholders, scheduled for January 9, 2019. Full details of the Arrangement are included in the management information circular to be sent to Chemesis Shareholders on December 19, 2018 in connection with the Meeting.

The board of directors of IMC will be comprised of Brian Thurston, Dave McMillan and Mike Aujla. Management of IMC will be comprised of Brian Thurston (CEO, President and Corporate Secretary) and Eli Dusenbury (CFO).

The Company intends to apply for a listing of the common shares of IMC on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”). Any such listing will be subject to IMC fulfilling all of the requirements of the CSE.
