TORONTO, ONTARIO ( May 12, 2010) - Spider Resources Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: SPQ) is pleased to announce that Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (ISS), a wholly-owned subsidiary of RiskMetrics Group, Inc., has recommended that the Company's shareholders vote in favour of the special resolution (the "Share Consolidation Resolution") to consolidate all of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares.
In its Proxy Advisory Services analysis of May 5, 2010, ISS states that:
"a vote for this stock consolidation is warranted as it should have no direct impact on shareholder value and could enhance the long-term growth prospects of the company by broadening its financing alternatives."
Approval of the Share Consolidation Resolution will be sought from shareholders at the Company's annual and special meeting of May 19, 2010 (the "Meeting").
Reasons and Benefits of the Consolidation
-The purpose of the Consolidation is to allow the board the latitude to effect a consolidation if they think it is in the best interests of the Company and avoid the necessity, cost and delays of holding a special shareholders meeting to effect a consolidation if circumstances warrant it prior to December 31, 2010.
-The Company believes that the number of the currently outstanding Common Shares may no longer reflect the value of the assets of the Company.
-The proposed Consolidation will enable potential investors to better evaluate the Company in connection with future equity financings; it may attract larger institutional investors to the Company.
-With the recent very encouraging Resource Estimate now available for our Big Daddy Chrome Deposit, your Board needs to be able to posture your Company for the future as we continue to evaluate this "once in a lifetime" asset.
The proposed Consolidation remains subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including shareholder approval and acceptance of TSX Venture Exchange.
It is extremely important that all shareholders exercise their right to vote.
The Company has retained Laurel Hill Advisory Group to assist with the Meeting. Shareholders with questions concerning the Meeting may call 1-877-304-0211.
