Regulus and Southern Legacy Announce Signing of Arrangement Agreement

29/07/2014 11:06pm

Marketwired Canada


Regulus Resources Inc. ("Regulus") (TSX VENTURE:REG) and Southern Legacy
Minerals Inc. ("Southern Legacy") (TSX VENTURE:LCY) are pleased to announce that
further to their press release dated May 20, 2014, they have executed a
definitive arrangement agreement (the "Agreement") on July 29, 2014 pursuant to
which the two companies will amalgamate.


The amalgamated company ("Amalco") will take the name of "Regulus Resources
Inc." and will maintain the public listings of Southern Legacy on each of the
TSXV and the Bolsa de Valores de Lima (the Lima Stock Exchange). Amalco will
assume all of the liabilities and assets of each of Regulus and Southern Legacy
in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (Alberta). 


Regulus and Southern Legacy have agreed to amalgamate pursuant to a plan of
arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), based on an exchange
ratio of 0.565 shares of Amalco for each share of Southern Legacy and one share
of Amalco for each share of Regulus. Amalco will also effect a 1:3 share
consolidation concurrent with the amalgamation. As a result, shareholders of
Southern Legacy will in effect receive 0.1883 shares of Amalco for each Southern
Legacy share and shareholders of Regulus will receive 0.333 shares of Amalco for
each Regulus share. Upon completion of the arrangement Amalco will have
approximately 45.3 million shares outstanding, approximately 74% of which will
be held by former Regulus shareholders and 26% of which will be held by former
Southern Legacy shareholders. It is expected that all of the outstanding common
share purchase options of Regulus and Southern Legacy will be cancelled as part
of the arrangement for no consideration.


The companies intend to call special meetings of their respective
securityholders on or before September 30, 2014.


In connection with the signing of this Agreement, Regulus has agreed to increase
the unsecured line of credit it has extended to Southern Legacy to a maximum of
$2,500,000 (the "Loan"), with the other terms of the Loan remaining unchanged
from the terms disclosed in the press release dated May 20, 2014. Advances under
the Loan will be made at the discretion of Regulus on expenses approved by
Regulus. The Loan will allow Southern Legacy to continue with key activities and
obligations until the amalgamation is completed, including making required
option payments on its properties.

alternative transaction.
