Friday’s Dog Holdings Inc. (to be renamed, “International Uranium
Corp.”) (the “
Company”) (
TSXV: FRDY |
OTCQB: FDOGF) is pleased to announce that management of
the Company, after review and consultation with its advisors, has
determined it is in the best interests of shareholders of the
Company to complete a business combination transaction (the
“
Transaction”) with a wholly-owned subsidiary of
American Lithium Corp.
(TSX-V: LI |
NASDAQ: AML | Frankfurt:5LA1) (“
American
Lithium”). The Transaction will be completed by way of a
court approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations
Act (British Columbia), pursuant to which, the Company will;
acquire all of the outstanding securities of Macusani Uranium
S.A.C. (“
Macusani Uranium”), a wholly-owned
Peruvian subsidiary of American Lithium incorporated on October 13,
2022; and change the business of the Company to uranium exploration
and development as further outlined below. At the same time the
Company will spin-out its existing business to existing
shareholders of the Company (the “
Shareholders”)
The Transaction, is subject to a number of
closing conditions including: (i) the completion of a consolidation
(the “Consolidation”) of the Company's outstanding
share capital on the basis of one (1) post-Consolidation common
share for every four-and-one-half (4.5) pre-Consolidation shares;
(ii) the issuance to American Lithium of 80,000,000
post-Consolidation common shares (the “Consideration
Shares”) in consideration of the issued and outstanding
securities of Macusani Uranium; (iii) the completion of a
concurrent brokered private placement of subscription receipts to
raise gross proceeds of no less than $15,000,000 being coordinated
by a syndicate lead by Eight Capital and National Bank Financial
and including Canaccord Genuity Corp., Clarkson Securities AS and
TD Securities (the “Concurrent Offering”); (iv)
the completion of the spin-out of Friday's Dog Inc.
(“FDI”), comprising the existing business of the
Company, to the Shareholders; (v) the change of the Company's name
to “International Uranium Corp.”; and (vi) the reconstitution of
the current board of directors and management of the Company to
consist of nominees of American Lithium (as further described
below).
The Macusani uranium property consists of 85
mineral concessions in Peru covering approximately 51,800 ha
forming the Macusani uranium project, located on the Macusani
Plateau, Puno, in southeastern Peru (the “Macusani
Project”). The Macusani Project comprises one of world’s
largest undeveloped uranium projects with a large, at surface,
resource and low-cost opex and capex profile as evidenced in its
latest Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), available on American
Lithium’s website (www.americanlithiumcorp.com). The Macusani
Project offers numerous additional opportunities for expansion and
a flow-sheet that has the potential to deliver strong economic
returns. Management of the Company believes the proposed
transaction provides compelling benefits for the Company and its
Shareholders. It focuses the Company as a pure-play uranium
exploration and development company by spinning out its current
unrelated business. The resulting issuer will focus on unlocking
asset value by applying existing proceeds and funds raised in the
subsequent offering to advance the Macusani Project by infill and
expansion drilling and updating the existing PEA and resource.
Jeremy Ross, Chief Executive Officer of the
Company stated “We are delighted to be involved with the Macusani
Project, which we believe is strategically positioned to capitalize
on the growing global demand for nuclear energy and large,
high-quality uranium deposits. With our robust financial resources
and support from strategic investors, we have confidence in the
project's ability to make a meaningful contribution to clean energy
initiatives worldwide, while generating significant value for our
existing Shareholders”.
American Lithium Arrangement
Agreement
In connection with the Transaction, the Company
entered into an arrangement agreement (the “American
Lithium Arrangement Agreement”) with American Lithium,
dated June 6, 2023, which sets out the proposed terms and
conditions pursuant to which American Lithium and the Company will
complete a business combination under a plan of arrangement in
accordance with the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia)
(the “American Lithium Plan of Arrangement”).
Pursuant to the terms of the American Lithium Plan of Arrangement,
American Lithium will complete an internal reorganization of its
subsidiaries, such that following completion of the reorganization,
Macusani Uranium will be a direct subsidiary of American Lithium;
thereafter, the Company will issue to American Lithium the
Consideration Shares in consideration of the acquisition of all of
the issued and outstanding securities of Macusani Uranium.
Immediately following receipt of the Consideration Shares, American
Lithium intends to distribute (the “Distribution”)
the Consideration Shares to its existing common shareholders of
record on a pro rata basis.
In addition to the foregoing, the American
Lithium Plan of Arrangement, is subject to a number of additional
closing conditions including: (i) the approval of the shareholders
of each of American Lithium and the Company; (ii) the approval of
the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the
“Court”); (iii) the approval of the TSX Venture
Exchange (the “TSXV”) and all other applicable
third party and regulatory consents for the Transaction; (iv) the
Company having no less than CAD$5,000,000 in available cash of
working capital prior to completion of the Concurrent Offering and
after deducting the expenses associated with the Transaction; and
(v) other customary closing conditions for a transaction of this
nature.
The issuance of the Consideration Shares and
acquisition of Macusani Uranium will constitute a 'Reverse
Takeover' and 'Change of Business' of the Company (as such terms
are defined in TSXV Policy 5.2 – Change of Business and Reverse
Takeovers) and accordingly, the Transaction is subject to and
conditional on TSXV approval.
Following completion of the Transaction, the
Company (after the completion of the Transaction, the
“Resulting Issuer”) will have ownership and
control over the Macusani Project. Management of the Resulting
Issuer will be comprised of nominees of American Lithium, and
American Lithium will arrange for the continuity of the existing
development team in Peru. Macusani Uranium is currently wholly
owned by Macusani Yellowcake S.A.S. (“Macusani
Yellowcake”), a wholly owned Peruvian subsidiary of
American Lithium, that currently holds title to 169 mineral
concessions in Peru, including the Macusani Project concessions. In
connection with the Transaction, Macusani Yellowcake has
transferred the 85 concessions underlying the Macusani Project to
Macusani Uranium and American Lithium will retain the right to
participate in any future commercially viable discoveries of
lithium mineralization on the Macusani Project concessions. The
Company will be permitted to participate in any future commercially
viable discoveries of uranium mineralization on the remaining
Macusani Yellowcake mineral concessions which have been retained by
American Lithium. Subject to TSXV approval, the common shares of
the Resulting Issuer will trade on the TSXV under a new trading
symbol to be determined by the parties. The Resulting Issuer is
expected to be listed on Tier 2 of the TSXV as a mining issuer. In
connection with the Transaction, trading in the common shares of
the Company has been halted and is expected to remain halted until
closing of the Transaction.
The Company intends to rely on Section 2.11 of
National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions, for an
exemption from the prospectus requirements for the issuance of the
Consideration Shares to American Lithium. Sponsorship of the
Transaction is required by the TSXV unless exempt or waived in
accordance with the policies of the TSXV. The Company intends to
apply for a waiver from the sponsorship requirements. The
Transaction is an arm’s length transaction in accordance with the
policies of the TSXV.
The foregoing description is qualified by
reference to the full text of the American Lithium Plan of
Arrangement, set out at Schedule “A” to the American Lithium
Arrangement Agreement, filed under the Company's profile on
www.sedar.com
Concurrent Brokered
Offering
As a condition of closing of the American
Lithium Plan of Arrangement, the Company intends to complete a best
efforts brokered private placement of subscription receipts
(“Subscription Receipts”) to be led by Eight
Capital (the “Agent”) as co-lead agent and joint
bookrunner together with National Bank Financial Inc., and with
Canaccord Genuity Corp., Clarkson Securities AS and TD Securities
as syndicate partners, at a price per Subscription Receipt of $0.50
(the "Offered Securities") to raise aggregate
gross proceeds of $15,000,000. Subject to the terms and conditions
of the Subscription Receipt Agreement, each Subscription Receipt
will be convertible into one unit (each a "Unit")
consisting of one common share of the Company and one-half of one
common share purchase warrant of the Company (each a
“Warrant”) entitling the holder to purchase one
common share of the Company at an exercise price of $1.25 until 24
months from the closing date of the Concurrent Offering. The
Company will pay the Agent a cash commission (“Agent’s
Commission”) equal to 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds
of the Concurrent Offering (subject to a reduced commission for
subscribers on an agreed upon president's list). The net proceeds
of the Concurrent Offering, less 50% of the Agent’s Commission,
will be placed in escrow pending the satisfaction of the escrow
release conditions of the Subscription Receipts including the
completion of the Arrangements. Subject to closing of the
satisfaction of the escrow release conditions and the release of
the escrowed funds from escrow, the Agent will also receive that
number of compensation warrants equal to 6% of the number of
Offered Securities, other than Offered Securities purchased by
purchasers on the president’s list, with each such compensation
warrant to be exercisable into one Unit at a price of $0.50 for a
period of 24 months from closing of the Concurrent Offering (each a
"Compensation Unit Warrant"). The Board
contemplates using the net proceeds from the Concurrent Offering to
fund the exploration and completion of a current preliminary
economic assessment of the Macusani Project and for general
corporate purposes. The Subscription Receipts, Warrants and common
shares underlying the Warrants, Subscription Receipts, and
Compensation Unit Warrants will be subject to a statutory
four-month and one day hold period following closing of the
Concurrent Offering and the policies of the TSXV.
Friday's Dog Plan of
Arrangement
In connection with the Transaction, the Company
also entered into an additional arrangement agreement (the
“Friday’s Dog Arrangement Agreement”) with FDI
(which currently controls the existing business of the Company)
pursuant to which the Company will complete a spin-out of all of
the issued and outstanding shares of FDI (the “FDI
Shares”) to the existing Shareholders on a 1 to 1 ratio
under a plan of arrangement in accordance with the Business
Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Friday's Dog Plan
of Arrangement”).
Pursuant to the Friday's Dog Arrangement
Agreement, and in accordance with the Friday's Dog Plan of
Arrangement, the Company will complete the following steps (prior
to effecting the Consolidation):
- the
Company will alter its share capital to create the new common
shares (the “New Common Shares”).
- the
Company will alter its authorized share structure to rename and
re-designate all of the issued and outstanding common shares of
Friday’s Dog as Class A common shares without par value (the
“Class A Common Shares”).
- Each
Shareholder will transfer to the Company all of their Class A
Common Shares and in exchange receive the following:
- One New
Common Share at an exchange ratio of 1 to 1; and
- such
number of FDI Shares as is equal to the pro-rata percentage
ownership of Class A Common Shares of each Shareholder.
- The
Company will alter its share capital so that only the New Common
Shares will remain.
- Upon
surrender of the Friday's Dog Shares, each Friday's Dog Share will
be deemed after the closing of the Friday's Dog Arrangement to
represent only the right to receive from the transfer agent, upon
such surrender, such number of New Common Shares and FDI Shares
that the Shareholder is entitled to pursuant to the Friday's Dog
Plan of Arrangement;
- Upon the
Friday's Dog Plan of Arrangement becoming effective, FDI will cease
to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and, as of the share
distribution date, the Shareholders will hold all of the
outstanding FDI Shares.
In connection with the proposed American Lithium
Plan of Arrangement and the Friday's Dog Plan of Arrangement
(collectively the “Arrangements”), the
Shareholders will continue to own common shares of the Company
subject to the completion of the Consolidation immediately
following completion of the spin-out of the FDI Shares pursuant to
the Friday's Dog Plan of Arrangement (the
“Spin-Out”). The American Lithium Plan of
Arrangement is conditional on the Spin-Out of FDI having been
completed prior to closing. If either Arrangement does not receive
all requisite shareholder and regulatory approvals the Transaction
will not be completed.
The foregoing description is qualified by
reference to the full text of the Friday's Dog Plan of Arrangement,
set out at Schedule “A” to the Friday's Dog Arrangement Agreement,
filed under the Company's profile on www.sedar.com. The Friday's
Dog Plan of Arrangement is subject to approval of the Court, the
Friday's Dog Shareholders, and the TSXV, and there can be no
assurance that such approvals will be obtained or that the Friday's
Dog Plan of Arrangement will be completed on the terms
contemplated, or at all. Further information regarding the Friday's
Dog Plan of Arrangement is expected to be contained in a management
information circular (the “Circular”) that the
Company intends to prepare and mail to the Friday's Dog
Shareholders in connection with the holding of an annual and
special meeting (the “Meeting”) to approve the
Transaction.
Reasons for the Arrangement
The Board is of the view that the Arrangements
will benefit the Company and its Shareholders. This conclusion is
based on the following primary determinations:
- By spinning out the existing FDI business consisting of canine
care and grooming product manufacturing business, the Shareholders
still retain their interest in the current business. Management
believes that this business has a greater opportunity to be
developed to its full potential realizable value as a separate
reporting issuer not listed on an exchange which will help reduce
operating costs and expenses for the current business as it
continues to look for distributors for its products;
- The acquisition of Macusani Uranium pursuant to the American
Lithium Plan of Arrangement will provide the Shareholders a direct
interest in a new company with one of the largest undeveloped
uranium projects whose ease of extraction and “near surface”
characteristics position it with the potential to be one of the
lowest cost sources of uranium globally that will pursue the
development of the Macusani Project as its sole initial priority.
With mounting concerns around energy security and climate change,
Macusani is strategically located in the Americas, and management
believes it can play a large role in the transition to zero
emission base-load electricity generation that the world
requires;
- As a separate company, FDI will have direct access to public
and private capital markets and will be able to raise equity to
fund development of the existing FDI business on a priority
basis;
- The Arrangements will create individual public reporting
companies that are anticipated to result in separate and
well-focused entities, each of which will provide a platform for
transactions that management wishes to target; and
- Following closing of the Arrangements, FDI will be a “reporting
issuer” under securities legislation and accordingly, the
Shareholders will continue to benefit from public company oversight
from the securities commissions and the higher continuous
disclosure, governance and financial statement requirements
applicable to public companies, but no securities of FDI are
expected to be listed on any regulated stock exchange upon closing
of the Transaction.
The securities to be issued under the Friday's
Dog Plan of Arrangement have not been and will not be registered
under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, and may not be offered or
sold in the United States absent registration or applicable
exemption from registration requirements. It is anticipated that
any securities to be issued under the Friday's Dog Plan of
Arrangement will be offered and issued in reliance upon the
exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities
Act of 1933 provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof.
Meeting Details
The Meeting date, time, and location is to be
determined. A notice of meeting and record date will be available
under its profile on www.sedar.com once finalized.
Only Shareholders of record at the close of
business on the record date will be entitled to vote at the
Meeting. The Friday's Dog Arrangement is subject to Shareholder
approval of not less than 66 2/3% of the votes cast at the Meeting
and the approval of the American Lithium Arrangement Agreement is
subject to Shareholder approval of not less than 51% of the votes
cast at the Meeting.
Interim and Final Order
The Friday's Dog Plan of Arrangement is subject
to Court approval by way of receipt of an interim order (the
“Interim Order”) and a final order (the
“Final Order”). The Interim Order will provide
for, among other things, the holding of the Meeting to approve the
Friday's Dog Plan of Arrangement. The Interim Order will also set
out other conditions that must be met for the Company to apply for
the Final Order of the Court to approve the Friday's Dog Plan of
Arrangement.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward
Looking Information
This news release contains “forward-looking
information” within the meaning of applicable securities laws
relating to the proposal to complete the Arrangements, Transaction,
Concurrent Offering and associated transactions, including

and the Concurrent Offering, the business plans and objectives of

expressions. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
forward-looking information. Actual results and developments may
differ materially from those contemplated by these statements
depending on, among other things, determination of acceptable terms
for the proposed spinout transaction, risks and uncertainties
relating to the receipt of approvals to proceed with and complete
the Transaction and the satisfaction of all conditions precedent to
the Arrangements, unexpected tax consequences, the benefits of the
spin-out transaction not being realized or as anticipated, the

Cautionary Note Regarding Macusani
Yellowcake Concessions
Thirty-two of the 151 concessions held by
American Lithium’s subsidiary Macusani Yellowcake, are currently
subject to Administrative and Judicial processes (together, the
“Processes”) in Peru to overturn resolutions issued by INGEMMET and
the Mining Council of MINEM in February 2019 and July 2019,
respectively, which declared Macusani’s title to 32 of the
concessions invalid due to late receipt of the annual validity
payments. In November 2019, Macusani Yellowcake applied for
injunctive relief on 32 concessions in a Court in Lima, Peru and
was successful in obtaining such an injunction on 17 of the
concessions including three of the four concessions included in the
Macusani Uranium Project PEA. The grant of the Precautionary
Measure (Medida Cautelar) has restored the title, rights and
validity of those 17 concessions to Macusani Yellowcake until a
final decision is obtained at the last stage of the judicial
process. A Precautionary Measure application was made at the same
time for the remaining 15 concessions and was ultimately granted by
a Court in Lima, Peru on March 2, 2021 which has also restored the
title, rights and validity of those 15 remaining concessions to
Macusani Yellowcake, with the result being that all 32 concessions
are now protected by Precautionary Measure (Medida Cautelar) until
a final decision on this matter is obtained at the last stage of
the judicial process. The favourable judge’s ruling confirming
title to all 32 concessions from November 3, 2021 represents the
final stage of the current judicial process. However, this ruling
has recently been appealed by MINEM and INGEMMET. American Lithium
has no assurance that the outcome of these appeals will be in
American Lithium's favour.
