30.10.2012 | Marketwired
VANCOUVER, Oct. 30, 2012 - Santa Fe Metals Corp. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SFM) announces that, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), it intends to settle outstanding loans with several individuals totalling approximately $243,859 (the "Loans"). The Loans will be satisfied by the issuance by the Company of common shares at a deemed issue price of $0.025 per share, on a pre-Share Consolidation (as defined below) basis, which is expected to represent a price of $0.50 per share on a post-Share Consolidation basis (the "Shares-for-Debt Settlement"). The Shares-for-Debt Settlement will take the form of an issuance of subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts"), which Subscription Receipts will be converted into common shares only after the Share Consolidation is completed. The Company anticipates that the Subscription Receipts issued in connection with the Shares-for-Debt Settlement will be qualified by a prospectus. The Shares-for-Debt Settlement is not expected to result in a new Control Person (as such term is defined in the Policies of the Exchange) of the Company. Of the $243,859 of the Loans, an aggregate of $80,159 is owed to Ian Smith (the CEO and a Director of the Company) and $73,700 is owed to Stuart Angus (the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company).Share Consolidation
As announced by the Company in a news release dated October 29, 2012, the Company intends to complete a share consolidation of its outstanding common shares on a 20:1 basis (the "Share Consolidation").
