B4MC Gold Mines, Inc. Announces Letter of Intent to Acquire Certain Subsidiaries of Gutami Holding BV

LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Dec 21, 2016) - B4MC Gold Mines, Inc. ("BFMC") (OTC Markets: BFMC) today announced the execution of a letter of intent (the "LOI") for the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of a company (the "Holding Company") to be formed and wholly owned by Gutami Holding BV ("Gutami"). Gutami develops solar and wind energy projects in Europe, the Caribbean, Asia and Africa/Middle East, and will transfer its ownership and rights of several solar power development projects currently in the pre-construction stage, as well as its future worldwide renewable energy project development business. Gutami is, and the Holding Company will be, based in The Netherlands.

Under the LOI, BFMC will issue unregistered shares of its common stock for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Holding Company. Gutami's present executive team will be joined by a senior executive from BFMC to form the new expanded management team upon closing of the acquisition. Gerben Pek will continue as CEO of the combined entity.

The transaction is subject to the negotiation and execution of a definitive acquisition agreement and to successful completion of due diligence reviews by BFMC and Gutami, audit of the Holding Company's financial statements, and other conditions.

At closing, it is anticipated that BFMC will issue 53,172,680 unregistered shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the presently outstanding capital stock of the Holding Company. BFMC presently has 5,667,485 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

Prior to the closing of the reverse acquisition, PacificWave Partners Limited ("PacificWave Partners") is arranging a private placement of up to 250,000 additional shares of BFMC common stock. If the acquisition and private placement are completed on the terms contemplated, the Company would have 59,090,165 shares issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis, of which current BFMC shareholders would own approximately 10.0% and Gutami would own approximately 90.0%. It is anticipated that the name of BFMC will be changed to Global Renewable Energy Inc. subsequent to closing.

The Company and Gutami will also use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate, on or about the date of closing of the reverse acquisition, an approximately EUR 45.0 million private placement in Europe of bonds to be backed by the Holding Company's current projects that are in the pre-construction phase.

PacificWave Partners, an innovative global merchant bank and investment management firm, and Topan AG, a financial and strategic advisor, advised on the transaction; PacificWave Partners is also arranging the private placement. Henrik Rouf, Managing Director of PacificWave Partners, said: "We are excited about the potential presented by the acquisition of Gutami's renewable energy project development business. BFMC and its principal shareholders have considered a number of acquisition/merger candidates in a number of sectors, and believe that Gutami offers an exciting opportunity for BFMC and its shareholders. We expect to continue to look for strategic opportunities that may require additional equity funding when opportunities arise."

Bennett Yankowitz, President of BFMC, said: "We believe the Gutami transaction will offer our shareholders a stake in a solid company in a growing market. Gutami has a number of exciting renewable projects in development in Europe, the Caribbean, Asia and Africa/Middle East, and we believe that the combined company will have substantial room for growth in the global renewable power industry."

Gutami's CEO, Gerben Pek, commented, "The reverse acquisition by BFMC will provide our company with a public presence that will allow us to bring together a talented executive team that will have the tools to accelerate our growth. It will also create greater liquidity to attract investment capital to fund the expansion of our current business into new markets and to add key team members."

The LOI envisions that Gutami executives will head the post-acquisition company, with Gerben Pek serving as CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors. It is anticipated that Bennett Yankowitz will continue serving on the Board of Directors and will assume the role of general counsel. Gutami will have the right to appoint three additional board members.

The common stock of BFMC to be sold in the private placement and issued for the reverse acquisition will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and other applicable securities laws. 

This notice is issued pursuant to Rule 135c under the Securities Act and shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy common stock of BFMC, nor shall there be any sale of common stock of BFMC in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
