Usha, Totec file supplemental disclosure for QT

USHA · Price

Executive Summary

  • Totem Resources Ltd. will acquire Usha Resources Ltd.’s interest in Subco (1540359 B.C. Ltd.) and the White Willow mineral claims for $50,000 cash plus 5.5 million Totem common shares at a deemed price of C$0.15 per share.
  • The transaction is classified as a qualifying transaction on the TSX‑V but involves non‑arm’s‑length parties; it does not require disinterested shareholder approval under TSX‑V policies.
  • Concurrent financing for Subco has been increased to up to 30 million units at C$0.15 per unit, targeting gross proceeds of up to $4.5 million, with each unit including a common share and a warrant (exercise price C$0.25, two‑year term).

Key Details

  • Consideration:
  • Cash payment of $50,000 to Usha.
  • Issuance of 5.5 million Totem common shares to Usha (post‑consolidation basis 1:2) at a deemed price of C$0.15 per share.

  • Non‑Arm’s‑Length Nature:

  • Deepak Varshney – CEO & Director of Totem, also CEO of Usha; holds 2,169,500 Usha shares (2.4 % of Usha).
  • Khalid Naeem – CFO of Totem, also CFO of Usha; holds no Usha shares.

  • Regulatory Assessment:

  • Transaction is non‑arm’s‑length but not a related‑party transaction under MI 61‑101.
  • Neither Varshney nor Naeem are “control persons” for both entities, so the deal does not trigger TSX‑V Policy 5.9 or require disinterested shareholder approval.

  • Concurrent Financing Upsize:

  • Original: up to 28 million units at C$0.15/unit → max $4.2 M gross proceeds.
  • Revised: up to 30 million units at C$0.15/unit → max $4.5 M gross proceeds.
  • Each unit = 1 Subco common share + 1 warrant (right to purchase an additional share at C$0.25, exercisable for two years).

  • Trading Halt:

  • Totem’s shares are halted pending compliance with TSX‑V Policy 2.4; no guarantee of resumption before transaction completion.

  • Company Status:

  • Totem is a capital pool company on the TSX‑V, has not commenced commercial operations and holds only cash.
  • Usha is an exploration company focused on battery and precious‑metal properties.
