Vancouver, B.C. — October 6, 2015: San Marco Resources Inc. (SMN: TSX-V) is pleased to announce that the TSX Venture Exchange has approved its warrant exercise incentive program respecting warrants issued under two non-brokered private placements completed in 2014 and 2015. The Exchange also approved the amendment of the warrants issued in the 2014 placement so that their terms now match the terms of the warrants issued in the 2015 placement.
Under the warrant exercise incentive program and following the amendment of the warrants issued in 2014, there are 14,567,500 outstanding warrants which entitle the purchase of common shares of San Marco at $0.05 per share until January 28, 2016, then at $0.10 per share until January 28, 2017 and then at $0.15 until January 28, 2018. To encourage the early exercise of these warrants, San Marco has amended their terms such that each holder who exercises an outstanding warrant before Friday, October 16, 2015 shall receive an additional non-transferable share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise price of $0.05 until October 16, 2018. Warrants to purchase 1,198,500 shares issued as finder's fees are not part of the program.
The proceeds from the early exercise of the outstanding warrants will be used for continued exploration of San Marco's Cuatro de Mayo Project in Sonora State, Mexico and general working capital purposes.
If a holder does not exercise the outstanding warrants before October 16, 2015 (or only partially exercises them), the outstanding warrants (or the portion not exercised) shall continue to be exercisable to purchase only common shares of San Marco at $0.05 per share until January 28, 2016, then at $0.10 per share until January 28, 2017 and then at $0.15 until January 28, 2018.
Directors of San Marco own an aggregate 3,239,500 outstanding warrants subject to the program. Any common shares issued to them upon the exercise of additional warrants they may acquire will be subject to a four month restricted resale period. Shares issued to other warrant holders under additional warrants issued to them will not be subject to such restricted resale period.
The participation in the incentive program by, and issuance of the additional warrants to, such directors constitutes a "related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). However, the warrant exercise incentive program is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as San Marco's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and, in respect of the minority shareholder approval requirement, neither the fair market value of the additional warrants nor the consideration to be received for the additional warrants exceeds 25% of San Marco's market capitalization.
