August 4, 2020, VANCOUVER, B.C. – Berkwood Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: BKR, FSE: BK2N (WKN: A2DNV4) (the “Company”) advises that it will be immediately filing for, and seeking approval of, documents relating to the consolidation of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital with the TSX Venture Exchange. The intended consolidation will be on a basis of one post-consolidation common share for every four (4) pre-consolidation common shares. This consolidation will reduce the issued and outstanding shares of the Company from 69,781,341 to 17,445,335 shares, assuming no other change in the issued capital. The Company’s outstanding options and warrants will also be adjusted on the same basis (1 new for 4 old) as the common shares, with proportionate adjustments being made to exercise prices. No fractional common shares will be issued, and no cash will be paid in lieu of fractional post-consolidation common shares. All fractional shares equal or greater to one-half resulting from the consolidation will be rounded to the next whole number. A letter of transmittal will be mailed to shareholders advising that: (i) the consolidation has taken effect; and (ii) shareholders should surrender their existing share certificates (representing pre-consolidation common shares) for replacement share certificates (representing post-consolidation common shares). Until surrendered, each existing share certificate will be deemed, for all purposes, to represent the number of common shares to which the holder thereof is entitled as a result of the consolidation.
Simultaneously with the consolidation, the Company intends to change its name to “Goldcore Resources Ltd.”. The effective date of the consolidation, name change and new trading symbol will be disclosed in a subsequent news release. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the board of directors may, at its discretion, determine not to effect the consolidation or change of name.
The board of directors believes that the proposed share consolidation and change of name is necessary to facilitate new equity investments in the Company, to finance continuing business activities and to investigate new opportunities. The Company’s articles of incorporation authorize the board of directors to approve certain changes to the Company’s capital structure, including the consolidation and change of name. As such, shareholder approval is not required. The consolidation and change of name is subject to the approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Company also announces that it will not be proceeding with the stock option grants as announced July 24, 2020.
