Crosshair and Universal Uranium Ltd. Settle Litigation
29 April 2010 - 7:01PM
Marketwired Canada
Crosshair Exploration & Mining Corp. (TSX:CXX)((NYSE Amex:CXZ) ("Crosshair")
announces that it entered into a definitive agreement with Universal Uranium
Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:UUL) ("UUL") to settle all outstanding litigation between
Crosshair and UUL.
The settlement agreement requires Crosshair and UUL to file a consent dismissal
order dismissing both the Crosshair claim and the UUL counterclaim. Neither
company paid any funds to the other pursuant to the terms of settlement.
Crosshair has also entered into a voting trust agreement (the "2010 Voting Trust
Agreement"). Pursuant to the 2010 Voting Trust Agreement, Crosshair will either
abstain from voting its shares in UUL or vote those shares in favour of UUL
management's proposals for a period of thirty-six months. As of April 27, 2010,
Crosshair held 2,222,222 UUL shares and 2,222,222 UUL warrants.
As per the original voting trust agreement between Crosshair and UUL announced
on July 30, 2008 (the "2008 Voting Trust Agreement"), UUL is also required to
either abstain from voting its shares in Crosshair or vote those shares in
favour of Crosshair management's proposals. As of April 27, 2010, UUL held
4,436,000 Crosshair shares and 7,500,000 Crosshair warrants.
Pursuant to the settlement, for the next twelve months, both Crosshair and UUL
are required to report on a monthly basis to the other in writing advising of
the number of shares in the other they have purchased or sold in the preceding
month. If UUL fails to comply with its reporting obligation, following receipt
of written notice from Crosshair of its failure to report, UUL has five calendar
days to supply the information to Crosshair before the 2010 Voting Trust
Agreement becomes null and void. Such a voiding of the 2010 Voting Trust
Agreement would have no bearing on the terms of the 2008 Voting Trust Agreement.
UUL would continue to be required to either abstain from voting its shares in
Crosshair or vote its shares in favour of Crosshair management's proposals.
