The closing of the asset transfer will occur upon receipt of all required third-party consents and assignments and final approval from the TSX-V, all of which are anticipated to be received by the end of this month.
Shear Wind has also announced that, as previously agreed, Genera Avante has subscribed for C$21.9 million in GDWE LP units. Upon the completion of the asset transfer, Shear Wind will own 51% and Genera Avante will own 49% of the total issued and outstanding GDWE LP units.
