Rodinia Provides Update on Change of Business
/EINPresswire.com/ -- TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 04/12/16 -- Rodinia Lithium Inc. (TSX VENTURE: RM) ("Rodinia" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the following update on Rodinia's previously announced plan to pursue a change of business ("COB") to a tier 2 investment company under the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV").
Summary of the COB
Rodinia continues to progress towards its COB. A special meeting of shareholders is expected to be called prior to May 30, 2016 to approve the COB (the "Special Meeting"). A management information circular to be sent to shareholders in connection with the Special Meeting is nearing completion and is subject to review by the TSXV.
In connection with the COB, the Company intends to adopt an investment policy (the "Investment Policy") to govern its investment activities and investment strategy. A copy of the Investment Policy will be posted on the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.
The Investment Policy will provide, among other things, that the Company will seek to enhance shareholder value by making use of the experience, expertise and opportunity flow of its management and board of directors ("Board") to opportunistically make investments in situations that the Company believes will provide superior returns. Such investments may include the acquisition of equity, debt or other securities of publicly traded or private companies or other entities in the various sectors in which management and the Board have expertise. A summary of the Investment Policy follows.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Strategy The Company may invest in securities of both public
and private companies or other entities that the
Company believes have the potential for superior
investment returns.
The Company will maintain a flexible position with
respect to the form of investment taken and may employ
a wide range of investment instruments, including
equity, bridge loans, secured loans, unsecured loans,
convertible debentures, warrants, options, royalties,
net profit interests and other hybrid instruments.
The Company will not invest in physical commodities,
derivatives, "short" sales or other similar
transactions (except that the Company may sell call
options to purchase securities owned by the Company as
a means of locking in gains or avoiding future
losses).
The Company will not be precluded from investing in
any particular industry. Similarly, there are no
restrictions on the size or market capitalization of
companies or other entities in which the Company may
invest, subject to the provisions hereof.
The Company has no specific policy with respect to
investment diversification. Each investment will be
assessed on its own merits and based upon its
potential to generate above market gains for the
Company.
Immediate liquidity shall not be a requirement.
The Company may, from time to time and in appropriate
circumstances, seek a more active role in regards to
investment situations and investee companies where the
involvement of the Company is expected to make a
significant difference to the success of the Company's
investment.
The Company may also make investments in special
situations, including event-driven situations such as
corporate restructurings, mergers, spin offs, friendly
or hostile take-overs, bankruptcies or leveraged
buyouts.
Depending upon market conditions and applicable laws,
the Company may seek to sell any or all of its
investments when it concludes that those investments
no longer offer the potential to generate appropriate
gains for the Company, or when other investment
opportunities reasonably available to the Company are
expected to offer superior returns.
Subject to applicable laws and regulatory
requirements, the Company may also from time to time
seek to utilize its capital to repurchase shares of
the Company.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Implementation Prospective investments will be channeled through the
Investment Committee.
Once a decision has been reached to invest in a
particular situation, a short summary of the rationale
behind the investment decision will be prepared by the
Investment Committee and submitted to the Board. All
investments shall be submitted to the Board for final
approval. The Investment Committee will select all
investments for submission to the Board and monitor
the Company's investment portfolio on an ongoing
basis, and will be subject to the direction of the
Board.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment In selecting securities for the investment portfolio
Evaluation Process of the Company, the Investment Committee will consider
various factors in relation to any particular issuer,
including:
- inherent value of its assets;
- proven management, clearly-defined management
objectives and strong technical and professional
support;
- future capital requirements to develop the full
potential of its business and the expected ability to
raise the necessary capital;
- anticipated rate of return and the level of risk;
and
- financial performance, including consistency of
positive cash flow.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conflict of The Company has no restrictions with respect to
Interests investing in companies or other entities in which a
member of the Company's management or Board may
already have an interest or involvement. In the event
that a conflict is determined to exist, the Company
may only proceed after receiving approval from
disinterested members of the Board. The Company is
also subject to the "related party" transaction
policies of the TSXV and Multilateral Instrument 61-
101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in
Special Transactions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monitoring and The Company's Chief Financial Officer shall be
Reporting primarily responsible for the reporting process
whereby the performance of each of the Company's
investments is monitored. Quarterly financial and
other progress reports shall be gathered from each
corporate entity, and these shall form the basis for a
quarterly review of the Company's investment portfolio
by the Investment Committee. Any deviations from
expectation will be investigated by the Investment
Committee and, if deemed to be significant, reported
to the Board.
A full report of the status and performance of the
Company's investments is to be prepared by the
Investment Committee and presented to the Board at the
end of each fiscal year.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amendment of The Company's Investment Policy may be amended with
Investment Policy approval from the Board.
