Marketwired
Silvermex Resources Ltd. ("Silvermex" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE: SMR) and Genco Resources Ltd. ("Genco") (TSX: GGC) are
pleased to announce that the combination of their respective
businesses, which is being effected by way of a plan of arrangement
(the "Arrangement") in accordance with the Business Corporations
Act (British Columbia), is scheduled to close on Tuesday, November
16, 2010.
The following transaction steps are to be completed in sequence
prior to the market open on Tuesday, November 16, 2010:
-- Genco will subdivide all of its outstanding common shares on a 1.1-for-
one basis (the "Subdivision) pursuant to which Genco will issue one-
tenth of an additional common share of Genco for each Genco common share
held by Genco shareholders. The Subdivision will take effect immediately
prior to the completion of the Arrangement. Accordingly, trades in Genco
common shares not settled prior to market close on November 15, 2010
will be settled in post-Subdivision common shares. Letters of
transmittal for the exchange of certificates of pre-Subdivision common
shares for post-Subdivision common shares have been mailed to registered
shareholders. Shareholders that do not have their common shares
registered in their name, such as shareholders holding their shares
through brokerage accounts, will not need to submit a letter of
transmittal.
-- Following the Subdivision, the Arrangement shall be effected, pursuant
to which Genco will issue to Silvermex shareholders one common share of
Genco in exchange for each Silvermex common share held. Accordingly,
trades in Silvermex common shares not settled prior to market close on
November 15, 2010 will be settled in Genco common shares. Letters of
transmittal for the exchange of certificates representing Silvermex
common shares for Genco common shares have been mailed to registered
Silvermex shareholders. Silvermex shareholders that do not have their
Silvermex common shares registered in their name, such as shareholders
holding their shares through brokerage accounts, will not need to submit
a letter of transmittal.
-- Following the closing of the Arrangement, Genco will change its name to
"Silvermex Resources Inc." ("New Silvermex").
As a result of the foregoing transaction steps, the former Genco
shareholders will, in effect, receive 1.1 common shares of New
Silvermex for each of their Genco common shares held; the former
Silvermex shareholders will receive one common share of New
Silvermex for each of their Silvermex common shares held; and
Silvermex will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of New
Silvermex.
Therefore, effective at the opening of trading on the TSX on
Tuesday, November 16, 2010, the common shares of New Silvermex will
start trading under the new name, new stock symbol and new CUSIP
number as follows:
New Name: Silvermex Resources Inc.
New Stock Symbol: SLX
New CUSIP: 828426 10 6
The last trading session for common shares of the Company (TSX
VENTURE: SMR) will be on Monday, November 15, 2010, after which
time the common shares of the Company will be delisted from the TSX
Venture Exchange and exchanged into common shares of New
Silvermex.
