New project and reverse split of shares
ARROWHEAD GOLD TO ACQUIRE NUVO ENERGY GRID INC.
Arrowhead Gold Corp. has signed a letter of intent to acquire 100 per cent of the outstanding shares of Nuvo Energy Grid Inc., a private company, with its headquarters in Toronto, Ont.
Pursuant to the LOI, Arrowhead will acquire all shares of Nuvo from the Nuvo shareholders in exchange for 13.25 million post consolidated common shares of Arrowhead. Nuvo has sufficient working capital to develop its business plan.
AWH proposes to reduce the number of Common Shares of the Company, as management believes it is in the Company's best interest to consolidate the shares to increase the Company's share price and conceivably improve trading liquidity. Many brokerage houses and institutional investors have policies which either, incline to exclude individual brokers from recommending low-priced shares to their customers, or prohibit them from investing in low-priced shares. Upon completion of a proposed 1:6 consolidation, AWH's current issued capital of 20,940,494 common shares would become 3,490,080 common shares. The proposed consolidation is subject to Shareholder and Regulatory approval.
Management of AWH are required to enter into a voting support agreement pursuant to which they will vote their shares of AWH in support of the transactions set out in the LOI.
Nuvo will nominate candidates for election to AWH's Board of Directors.
AWH will obtain all applicable regulatory and shareholder approvals. All steps necessary will be taken to change the name of Arrowhead Gold Corp. to Nuvo Energy Grid Inc.
