-- FireFly Metals (FFM.TO) and Bellavista Resources (ASX: BVR) obtained all necessary shareholder approvals for the sale of FireFly's Ontario gold assets to Bellavista, it said Thursday.
All conditions precedent have been satisfied or waived, and completion of the deal is expected to occur on April 29.
The sale assets comprise FireFly's 70% interest in the Pickle Crow project and 100% of the Sioux Lookout project. The total scrip consideration is 60-million Bellavista shares and contingent consideration of 50-million Bellavista performance rights, it said.
FireFly shareholders are expected to receive one Bellavista share for about every 12.8 FireFly shares held. The company intends to retain the contingent consideration performance rights and accordingly, these will not be distributed to FireFly shareholders under the in-specie distribution.
