Kairos Capital Corporation (“Kairos” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that its shareholders approved a name change to Lithium Chile Inc. (TSXV:LITH) at the Company’s annual meeting held on December 11, 2017. The name change has been implemented and effective at the market opening on December 20, 2017 the Company’s common shares will trade under the new symbol “LITH“.
In addition, to further reflect the Company’s specialization in lithium the Board of Directors is exploring a potential “spin out” of the Company’s significant copper-gold property portfolio into a separate company to be owned by the shareholders of the Company. The intent of such an arrangement is to leave the Company 100% focussed on its significant lithium property portfolio with the newly formed company 100% focused on the significant copper/gold property portfolio. Further details of a “spin out” transaction will be announced if and when the structure and timing of such a transaction is finalized.
The Company is also pleased to highlight the fact that Sebastian Pinera – Chile’s centre-right presidential candidate – was elected on Sunday, December 17, 2017, to a four-year term as President of Chile. The Company considers this to be a very positive change for the mining industry in Chile.
News Highlights
- Name Change: The Company filed amendments to its articles changing its name to Lithium Chile Inc.
- Trading Symbol Change: Commencing with the market opening on Wednesday, December 20, 2017, the common shares of Lithium Chile Inc. will trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the new symbol of “LITH“.
- Copper-Gold Asset Spin Out: The Board of Directors has approved investigating the split of Kairos’ two distinct property portfolios via a potential spin out of the Company’s considerable copper-gold property portfolio into a separate public company with its own dedicated management team. The new company is expected to be owned by Kairos shareholders as at the record date of the spin out. Such a transaction, if completed, will enable Kairos shareholders to benefit from exploration and development efforts on both the lithium property portfolio and the copper-gold property portfolio that currently reside within Kairos.
- New Pro-mining Chilean President: The Chilean people have elected Sebastian Pinera – the centre-right, pro-mining candidate – to a four-year term as president.
Steve Cochrane, President and CEO of Kairos commented, “Changing the Company’s name to Lithium Chile Inc. (TSX-V:LITH) better reflects the focus we are placing on our impressive and highly-prospective portfolio of lithium projects in Chile. As we also have an exciting copper-gold property portfolio, the Board of Directors has approved exploring the potential spin out of those copper-gold assets into a separate company, delivering the best value for our shareholders. It is the board’s and management’s opinion that these distinct and highly prospective property portfolios in copper and gold on the one hand and lithium on the other would be better exploited in their own distinct vehicles with their own distinct and focused management teams. We are also delighted by the recent election of Sebastian Pinera as President of Chile, who is a very strong supporter of the mining sector in Chile.”
