On August 7, 2012, Bridgeport, Premier Gold Mines Limited and Premier Royalty Corporation entered into a business combination agreement pursuant to which Bridgeport completed a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement) under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on December 4, 2012.

     

As a result of the Arrangement, among other things:

common shares of Bridgeport were consolidated on the basis of one post- consolidation share (a "Premier Royalty Share") for every four pre-consolidation shares;

     

Premier Royalty issued 0.375 of a warrant (each whole warrant, a "Premier Royalty Warrant") for each Premier Royalty Share held by shareholders of record as at 12:01 a.m. (Toronto time) on December 4, 2012 (the "Effective Time"). Each whole Premier Royalty Warrant is exercisable at a price of $2.00 per Premier Royalty Share for a period commencing on June 4, 2013 and ending on December 4, 2016, subject to early expiry upon the occurrence of certain events;

     

all existing Bridgeport options will be terminated on or prior to March 4, 2013. The terms of the warrants of Bridgeport existing prior to the Effective Time have been adjusted to reflect the consolidation of Bridgeport common shares and the distribution of Premier Royalty Warrants upon the exercise of such warrants;

     

on behalf of Premier Royalty Corporation, Premier Royalty repaid $8 million of the $28 million (plus interest) outstanding balance on the convertible bridge loan facility issued by Premier Gold to Premier Royalty Corporation.
