Copper One To Implement Share Consolidation


TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct. 22, 2015) - Copper One Inc. ("Copper One" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CUO) will consolidate its common shares on the basis of one new common share for every ten common shares outstanding effective as of October 23, 2015.

Copper One currently has 68,533,854 common shares outstanding and, following the share consolidation on a ten for one basis, will have approximately 6,853,385 common shares outstanding. The change in the number of issued and outstanding common shares that will result from the share consolidation will not materially affect any shareholder's percentage ownership in Copper One, although such ownership would be represented by a smaller number of common shares.

A letter of transmittal will be sent by mail to shareholders advising that the share consolidation has taken effect and instructing shareholders to surrender the certificates evidencing their common shares for replacement certificates representing the number of common shares to which they are entitled as a result of the consolidation. Until surrendered, each certificate will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of common shares to which the holder thereof is entitled as a result of the consolidation.

The share consolidation was approved by the shareholders of Copper One at the annual general and special meeting held on September 29, 2015. Further details regarding the share consolidation are contained in the Company's information circular dated August 25, 2015, which has been filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The share consolidation remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
