Colossus Minerals Advises Warrant Holders of Approaching Expiry of Warrants
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/03/11 -- Colossus Minerals Inc. (the 'Company' or 'Colossus') (TSX: CSI) would like to remind certain Warrant holders of the previously announced expiry of the outstanding unexercised 2008 series common share purchase warrants of the Company (the 'Warrants') trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol CSI.WT.
The Warrants were issued pursuant to the Company's Initial Public Offering completed in February 2008 and are set to expire at 5:00pm (Toronto time) on Sunday, February 13, 2011. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Indenture the expiry is extended to the next business day therefore any Warrants remaining unexercised after the extended expiration deadline of 5:00pm (Toronto time) on Monday, February 14, 2011 will be cancelled, delisted, and will thereafter be of no force or effect.
As of February 2, 2011, there were 5,772,070 warrants outstanding at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. Assuming all warrants are exercised, net proceeds to the Company would be $11,544,140 million.
How to Exercise Warrants
Warrant holders who wish to exercise their Warrants should instruct their investment advisor to effect an 'immediate exercise' and be prepared to provide payment (by certified cheque, bank draft or money order payable to Colossus Minerals Inc.) to the investment advisor firm equal to the exercise price for each warrant exercised. Once Equity Financial Trust Company receives payment and the required documentation, the Warrants will be cancelled and the warrant holder will receive Colossus common shares.
Investors should consult with their investment advisor to confirm the time required to complete this process and other costs associated with the exercise, if any.
Warrant holders who hold a physical certificate wishing to exercise warrants are required to provide Equity Financial Trust with a certified cheque, bank draft or money order payable to Colossus Minerals Inc., and the warrant certificate with the subscription form on reverse completed.
