Gold Standard In Reverse Merger Pact With Vector Medical
May 08, 2001 1:35 PM

SALT LAKE CITY -(Dow Jones)- Gold Standard Inc. (GSTD) singed a letter of intent April 16 with Vector Medical Technologies Inc. for a reverse merger.

Each company has 30 days from the date of execution of the letter to complete its due diligence. The companies expect the deal to close within 60 days after the date the letter is signed.

In a press release Tuesday, Gold Standard said it will acquire all Vector shares in exchange for new common stock of Gold Standard.

As a condition before closing, Vector will arrange for the private placement of 900,000 shares at $5 each to raise $4 million in cash.

The completion of the deal is subject to approval from Gold Standard's board and its shareholders and Vector's shareholders, completion of due diligence, and regulatory requirements.

All the existing assets and liabilities of Gold Standard, including any cash or cash equivalents, will transfer to a unit. Before the proposed merger is completed, all the shares of that unit will be spun off to Gold Standard shareholders.

After the closing of the transaction, Gold Standard shareholders will own 10% of the fully diluted stock of the surviving corporation. Before the closing, Gold Standard may do a forward stock split of at most 2-for-1.

Upon the completion of the transaction, Gold Standard's name will change to Vector Medical Inc. or a similar name, and the spun-off company will keep the Gold Standard name. Also, most of Gold Standard's officers and directors will resign and be replaced by Vector officers and directors.

Shares of Gold Standard traded recently at $2.05, up 45 cents, or 28.2%, on Nasdaq SmallCap volume of 19,000 shares. Average daily volume is 4,266 shares.

Vector makes and licenses a noninvasive transdermal deliver system for high molecular weight drugs.

Gold Standard is a mining company.
