The arrangement resolution was also approved by a majority of Sun Metals’ disinterested shareholders, as required under applicable securities laws.

Plan of Arrangement

In January 2021, Sun Metals obtained an interim order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia with respect to the proposed plan of arrangement, pursuant to which Serengeti will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Sun Metals, on the basis of 0.215 of a post-Consolidation Serengeti common share for each Sun Metals share, which is 0.43 of a pre-Consolidation Serengeti common share for each Sun Metals share on a pre-Consolidation basis (the “Transaction”). Subject to receipt of all requisite approvals, including final TSX Venture Exchange approval, court approval, and waiver or satisfaction of all relevant conditions, closing of the Transaction is expected to be on or about March 5, 2021.

The Consolidation is anticipated to be completed immediately prior to closing of the Transaction. Following the Consolidation, the 111,653,368 outstanding common shares of Serengeti will be consolidated such that there will be approximately 55,826,684 outstanding common shares, not including any Serengeti common shares to be issued pursuant to the Transaction. Serengeti also intends to proceed with a name change to Northwest Copper Corp. in connection with the closing of the Transaction. The common shares of Serengeti are expected to trade at the open of the market on March 5, 2021 on a post-Consolidation and post-name change basis with the ticker symbol “NWST”.

The Transaction will consolidate the contiguous copper-gold exploration and development assets of Kwanika and Stardust, both of which will benefit from operational synergies as the projects advance with a combined development strategy, along with the robust portfolio of British Columbia copper-gold assets held by the companies. The combined company will be well positioned and capitalized as a result of the recently completed $10,350,000 upsized subscription receipt financing of Sun Metals (the “Financing”) to take advantage of a strengthening copper market.

Upon completion of the Transaction, Mark O’Dea will assume the role of Executive Chairman of Serengeti and the Serengeti board of directors will comprise Mark O’Dea, David Moore, Lewis Lawrick, Teodora Dechev, Sean Tetzlaff and Richard Bailes. David Moore will continue as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer until such time as a full time CEO is appointed, and Lauren McDougall will assume the role of Chief Financial Officer and Ian Neill the role of Vice President Exploration. Following the Transaction, Sun Metals shareholders, including holders of Sun Metals common shares issued on conversion of the subscription receipts issued from the Financing, will hold approximately 49.6% of the combined company.
