Sale and Investment Solicitation Process
London, England, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada -- Rambler
Metals and Mining plc (AIM: RMM) ("Rambler"), a copper and gold
producer, explorer and developer, announces that Rambler Metals and
Mining Canada Limited and 1948565 Ontario Inc. (collectively, the
"Rambler Group" or the "Company") has announced the commencement of
a sale and investment solicitation process (the "SISP") in respect
of the business, assets and undertakings of the Rambler Group
(collectively, the "Business"). The Rambler Group operates a copper
and gold mining business located in Baie Verte, Newfoundland and
Labrador. The Company's mineral resource estimates from May 2022
estimate there are 428,000 tonnes of in-situ copper, 271,000 ounces
of in-situ gold, and that the mine has an estimated remaining mine
life of 19 years. The SISP will be conducted by Grant Thornton
Limited ("GTL"), in its capacity as Court-appointed monitor of the
Company (the "Monitor"), with the assistance of the Rambler
Group.
The SISP will be conducted in the context of the Company's
ongoing proceedings under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act
(Canada) (the " CCAA "). On February 27, 2023, the Company obtained
an initial order (as amended and restated, the " Initial Order ")
from the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador (the " Court ")
granting the Company protection under the CCAA. The Initial Order
also appointed GTL as the Monitor. On March 15, 2023, the Initial
Order was further amended and restated by the Court. At said
hearing the Court granted an order (the " SISP Order "),
authorizing the Monitor in conjunction with the Company to
undertake a sale and investment solicitation process (" SISP ") for
the sale of the Rambler Group's Business.
The SISP is intended to solicit interest in and opportunities
for a sale of, or investment in, all or part of the Company's
Business. This may include one or more of a restructuring,
recapitalization or other form of reorganization of the business
and affairs of all or part of the Company as a going concern, or a
sale of all, substantially all, or a portion of the Company's
Business as a going concern or otherwise.
Interested parties who wish to submit a bid must deliver a
non-binding letter of interest to the Monitor in accordance with
the SISP by no later than 5:00 pm Newfoundland Standard Time on May
19, 2023 (the " Phase 1 Bid Deadline "). The Monitor and the
Company will assess the letters of interest received on or before
the Phase 1 Bid Deadline and may determine to proceed to a second
phase of the process (" Phase 2 ") or alternatively proceed to
negotiate definition transaction documentation with a bidder or
terminate the SISP. Should the SISP proceed to Phase 2, qualified
bidders will be notified accordingly. Any transaction will be
subject to the approval of the Court.
There can be no assurance the SISP will result in a transaction
and given the level of secured debt obligations of the Company,
there can be no assurance with respect to the levels of recovery,
if any, for the Company's unsecured creditors or shareholders.
A copy of the SISP and further information on the Company's CCAA
proceedings may be found on the Monitor's website at:
www.GrantThornton.ca/Rambler. Any party interested in participating
in the SISP can find a copy of the solicitation letter and
non-disclosure agreement (" NDA ") on the Monitor's website, and
may gain access to due diligence materials and the Confidential
Information Memorandum by executing an NDA and emailing it to
Rambler@ca.gt.com, subject line "Rambler NDA - Bidder Name".
