Goldmoney Inc. Provides Corporate Update
05 Dezembro 2018 - 10:30AM
Business Wire
Goldmoney Inc. (TSX:XAU) (“Goldmoney”) (the “Company”), a
precious metal financial service and technology company, is pleased
to provide this corporate update.
As previously announced on November 14 and November 26, 2018,
Goldmoney will distribute to its shareholders on a pro rata basis
3.99 million Class B subordinate voting shares of Menē Inc. (the
“Menē Shares”), a TSX Venture listed company (Symbol: MENE). The
exact ratio to make this distribution will be 0.051767721 of a Menē
Share for each common share of Goldmoney held as of close of
business on the record date.
The payable date remains as previously announced as December 7,
2018.
The Company has announced the resignation of Josh Crumb from the
Board of Directors with effect from December 4, 2018. “It is with
great regret that the board has accepted the resignation of Josh
Crumb as a director of the Company, which he has served with me
since the inception of BitGold over five years ago,” said Roy
Sebag, Chairman. “The board and staff are thankful for the
meaningful contributions Josh has made, and we wish him well in his
new endeavours.”
The Company draws attention to the high trading volume in the
shares of the Company on December 4, 2018 and November 24, 2018,
which were accompanied by a decline in the share price. The Company
is of the view that there were forced sales on these two days as a
result of margin calls. The Company is unaware of any material
change in its operations that would account for the recent market
activity.
Goldmoney Inc. also announced today revisions to its disclosure
concerning Goldmoney Wealth Limited (“GWL”) one of Goldmoney’s
wholly-owned Jersey subsidiaries. GWL is incorporated in Jersey and
regulated by the Jersey Financial Services Commission (“JFSC”). In
the Management Discussion and Analysis disclosure accompanying the
release of our first quarter results on August 8, 2018, we reported
that there were one-off, non-recurring professional fees of CAN$1.8
million, most of which was incurred with a Jersey-based consulting
firm to ensure GWL meets all compliance and regulatory requirements
of the JSFC. This disclosure was made because the increase in
professional fees relating to GWL (as well relating to Menē) was a
material expense item that in part explained our Q1 results. As had
been anticipated in our Q1 MD&A, these consulting fees do not
continue. The underlying GWL-related compliance matters that were
addressed in this consultation process were not material to
Goldmoney Inc., as a whole, because no other entities in the
Goldmoney group of companies were affected by such issues. This
extensive consultation has now been completed. The results of this
consultation have allowed Goldmoney to better assess the role of,
and importance of, GWL in the Goldmoney family of companies. While
GWL remains an important subsidiary, largely as a result of its
legacy business following the combination in 2015 of GWL and other
Jersey entities within what is today the business of Goldmoney,
Goldmoney’s past disclosure relating to GWL in Goldmoney’s Annual
Information Form (“AIF”) for the financial year ended March 31,
2018, was not intended to suggest that GWL is material to the
operations of Goldmoney, as a whole. Goldmoney will be revising and
refiling its AIF to clarify any impressions to the contrary and
will be doing so by no later than January 31, 2019.
