On April 26, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Lexam by the way of the Arrangement Agreement dated February 13, 2017 and related Plan of Arrangement (the “Arrangement”). Pursuant to the Arrangement, each common share of Lexam was exchanged for 0.056 of a common share of the Company and each option to purchase a common share of Lexam was exchanged for a replacement option entitling the holder to acquire 0.056 share of the Company’s common stock.

The Company’s total purchase price of $39.2 million was comprised of 12,687,035 common shares issued from Treasury at $3.00 per share, share replacement awards of $0.1 million and transaction costs totaling $1.0 million. The Lexam acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition and transaction costs associated with the acquisition were capitalized to the Mineral Property Interests acquired consistent with the Company’s Mineral Property Interests accounting policy.
