I put a lot of $ in and will end up with now tens of thousands of Auryn shares
Now someone getting 500,000 preferred which are probably worth more than our common and listed as “entity”!
“The Company issued 500,000 shares of preferred stock to an entity in exchange for providing a loan related to the Company’s retention of its 5% interest in Auryn Mining Chile, SpA.”
If M/C “owns” 95% of “AUMC’s” 70 million shares then it appears that from an accounting point of view he currently technically “owns” the shares to be distributed soon to the Medinah shareholders. I assume this is because he technically “owns” Auryn Mining Chile (the privateco) and those shares are sitting in their coffers still???
The loan was repaid by a reduced ownership in Auryn, so I would assume/ hope those preferred shares were returned as well when that transaction happened. BTW I believe those shares were the shares issued to the Days and were returned when they left. I have not looked at the Auryn financial statements in a while so I could be wrong.
This is good … and not so good that the shares are still restricted.
The best possible pathway is that AURYN can unrestrict all restricted shares, Medinah and AUMC can have a voluntary trading halt, Medinah can order a NOBO list of all shareholders and then distribute unrestricted shares of AUMC shares firstly into individual brokerage accounts; Thereafter, lift the voluntary trading halt.
A resolution to the long wait should clear the path of AUMC to be promoted to a wider investment community with all shares freely trading.
I was hoping and expecting that Auryn would unrestrict the shares before distribution to MDMN. Not sure why we had to wait over a year to receive restricted shares. In any case the shares are now in MDMN hands so I would expect that MDMN would file to have the shares unrestricted before distribution to Shareholders. Also I hope that they do not distribute the shares as a dividend but rather as an exchange . This is a simpler process/procedure. Whether they distribute the shares as a dividend or an exchange I see no reason why there should be any reason for a trading halt during the process.
