Vancouver, BC, Canada, November 7, 2024, – ALX Resources Corp. (“ALX” or the “Company”) (TSXV: AL; FSE: 6LLN; OTC: ALXEF) is pleased to announce that its management information circular (the “ALX Circular“) and related materials (collectively, the “Materials”) in connection with the Annual General and Special Meeting (the “Meeting“) of its shareholders (the “ALX Shareholders”) is now available on ALX’s website (click here to access the Materials) as well as under ALX’s profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca). The Company commenced the mailing of the Materials for the Meeting to ALX Shareholders on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.

The Meeting is scheduled for December 2, 2024, at 10:00 AM (Pacific Time) in Vancouver, British Columbia for ALX Shareholders to approve the acquisition by Greenridge Exploration Inc. (“Greenridge”, CSE: GXP) of all of the outstanding and issued common shares of ALX by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Arrangement”). At the Meeting, ALX Shareholders will be asked to vote on resolutions approving, among other things, the Arrangement. The resolutions to approve the Arrangement will be subject to the approval of 66⅔% of votes cast by ALX Shareholders.

The  details of the transaction between ALX and Greenridge (the “Transaction”) were announced  in ALX’s news release of October 11, 2024, which followed the execution of a binding arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) between ALX and Greenridge that received unanimous approval from the Board of Directors of ALX (the “Board”) on October 10, 2024.

Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, each ALX Shareholder will receive 0.045 common shares of Greenridge in exchange for each ALX common share held (each, an “ALX Share”) (collectively, the “Exchange Ratio”). Upon completion of the Transaction, existing Greenridge and ALX Shareholders will own approximately 75.2% and 24.8%, respectively, of the common shares of the combined entity, which will retain the name of Greenridge.

No shareholder vote is required by the shareholders of Greenridge. In addition to ALX Shareholder approval, the Transaction is also subject to the receipt of certain regulatory and court approvals, including the approvals of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) to delist the ALX Shares and other closing conditions customary in transactions of this nature.

The Board recommends that ALX Shareholders vote in favour of the Transaction.

Strategic Rationale for the Transaction

  • Creates a leading and diversified Canadian explorer of critical and precious metals: The combined entity will own or have interests in twenty-nine (29) projects covering approximately 420,000 hectares with considerable exposure to potential uranium, lithium, nickel, copper and gold discoveries;
  • Consolidates ownership in the Carpenter Lake Uranium Project: Following the Transaction, Greenridge will own 60% of Carpenter Lake with the option to increase to 100%;
  • Creates one of the largest uranium property portfolios in the Athabasca Basin, which is world-renowned for uranium mining and recent discoveries of large, high-grade deposits: In addition to Carpenter Lake, ALX has interests in twelve (12) other projects and properties covering approximately 173,000 hectares in the Athabasca Basin;
  • Enhanced capital markets profile and shareholder base: the pro forma combined entity is expected to have a market capitalization of approximately C$35 million1.
  • Enhanced management and Board: adds Warren Stanyer, CEO of ALX, as President and Director as well as another nominee to the Board of Directors of Greenridge;
  • G&A cost savings: Anticipated material cost savings from consolidating corporate G&A, corporate development, and investor relations and marketing activities compared to operating as two separate entities.

1 Calculated using Greenridge’s closing share price on the Canadian Securities Exchange on October 10, 2024 of C$0.78 and the pro forma basic shares outstanding of the combined entity of approximately 45.2 million common shares.
