back to topEdgeworth Ventures Inc. reports on results of strategic alternatives for enhancing shareholder value review
Toronto – April 3, 2008
Further to Edgeworth Ventures Inc.’s (the “Company”) announcement in November 2007 that it would undertake to review strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value, the review has concluded that the Company implement and execute a multi-tiered approach to enhancing shareholder value.
The culmination of such an approach shall be the recommended listing of the Company onto the Alternative Investment Market (AIM), a sub-market of the London Stock Exchange, on or about May 2009 along with a simultaneous equity issue, subject to shareholder approval, market conditions and no material adverse change in the Company. The review concluded that an attempt to undertake one step individually, absent a contextual framework and given current market conditions, would undermine the goal to enhance shareholder value.
The review has recommended the following steps be taken:
- To enhance tax savings and minimize cross-border regulatory compliance costs, the Company should re-domicile from the State of Nevada to the Province of Alberta; such re-domicile to be approved by the shareholders;
- To increase accountability and to pursue the highest corporate governance standards, the Board of Directors should be expanded to include non-officers and members of the business community at large. In particular, the review recommended that additional members to the Board of Directors provide skill-set depth and knowledge necessary to undertake a successful offering on the AIM; such election of new members of the Board of Directors to be approved by the shareholders;
- To further capitalize on the current international commodities boom, the Company should explore opportunities in the resource rich provinces of Western Canada, both within and outside the Company’s current operations in Alberta, for both residential and industrial developments;
- To expand on current international sales growth, the Company should explore further green-field operations in the Asian market;
- To mitigate against the risks arising from the current credit environment, the Company should pursue international financing and joint venture opportunities as a means to access unimpaired capital until an equity raise is undertaken and/or North American credit markets freely lend capital;
- To augment liquidity and to raise funds through an equity raise, the Company should move stock exchanges to the AIM on or about May 2009 and to issue additional shares out of treasury via a public offering. The review found that an attempt to raise equity in current market conditions would be counter to the primary goal of enhancing shareholder value.
The review was conducted by the Board of Directors of the Company with input from domestic and international financial institutions and professional advisors including Davis LLP and Grant Thornton UK LLP.
The Board of Directors of the Company, with appropriate shareholder approval, shall act upon the review findings with a strategic goal to implement each finding sequentially with a timetable to be disclosed with reasonable notice.
Patrick Oliver-Kelley, the Company’s Executive Vice-President, comments as follows:
“The review undertaken was global in nature and involved the input of a great many parties not only in North America but in parts of Europe and Asia. We thank these individuals for their valuable input. Our findings confirm the pre-eminence of the AIM of the London Stock Exchange as the appropriate venue for Edgeworth's aggressive stance in broadening and enhancing its financial prescience internationally. This move, along with other planned initiatives as strategic stepping stones toward such an endeavour, will solidify Edgeworth's future for its shareholders.”
