Vancouver, British Columbia, February 17, 2016 – Aftermath Silver Ltd. (the “Company” or “Aftermath Silver”) announces that the TSX Venture Exchange has transferred the Company’s shares to NEX. In accordance with TSX Venture Policy 2.5, the Company has not maintained the requirements for a TSX Venture Tier 2 company. Therefore, effective at the opening on February 18th 2016, the Company’s listing was transferred to NEX, the Company’s Tier classification was changed from Tier 2 to NEX, and the Filing and Service Office was changed from Vancouver to NEX. The trading symbol for the Company has been changed from AAG to AAG.H. There is no change in the Company’s name, no change in its CUSIP number and no consolidation of capital. The symbol extension differentiates NEX symbols from Tier 1 and Tier 2 symbols within the TSX Venture market. Further to the Exchange Bulletins dated October 6th 2015, trading in the shares of the Company will remain suspended.
Restructuring Update
Further to the Company press release dated August 12th, 2015 concerning the sale of its Mexican subsidiary; following a due diligence period by the interested party, Reyna Minas SA de CV (“Reyna”), the Company and Reyna have signed a binding letter of intent. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will transfer 100% of the share capital of its subsidiary for cash consideration of US$150,000. Signing of the definitive documentation and transfer of the shares is scheduled to take place on March 16, 2016 at which time a payment of US$60,000 will be made to the Company. An additional payment of US$90,000 will be made on December 16, 2016. The transaction, which remains subject to both TSX and shareholder approvals, removes the Company’s Mexican liabilities and provides sufficient funding to resolve its outstanding Canadian payables. The Company intends to restructure itself while on the NEX, which will include the evaluation of new opportunities and, in addition, to file the necessary financials that led to the imposition of the original cease trade order.
