St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada - April 14, 2015 - Axiom Corp. (PINKSHEETS: AXMM) (“Axiom” or the “Company”) announced today that the Company has completed amended agreements with three founding shareholders of PaperNuts Corporation for the cancellation of 40,000,000 Common Shares of the Company in exchange for a combination of newly issued Series A Preferred Shares and multiple-voting Series B Preferred Shares.

 

As per the amended agreements, the 40,000,000 Common Shares will now to be converted into 2,666,668 Series A Preferred Shares and 1,000,002 multiple-voting Series B Preferred Shares.  This represents an increase of 666,668 Series A Preferred Shares and a decrease of 999,998 multiple-voting Series B Preferred Shares, compared to the amounts previously disclosed in the Company press release dated March 24, 2015.  All other details of the transactions remain unchanged.  All common and preferred shares held by Axiom Corp. and PaperNuts Corporation management, insiders, and control persons remain restricted from trading subsequent to SEC Rule 144.

 

As a result of the amendments, there will now be 3,333,300 fewer Common Shares of the Company issued and outstanding, should holders of Series A Preferred Shares and multiple-voting Series B Preferred Shares elect to convert their shares back into Common Shares.  Also, as a result of the reduction in the number of multiple-voting Series B Preferred Shares issued and outstanding, the total voting power of the share class has been reduced by approximately 50%.

   

Series A Preferred Shares are convertible into Common Shares at a ratio of 1:10, meaning each Preferred A Share can convert into ten (10) Common Shares of the Company.   In addition, holders of each Series A Preferred Share shall have the right to one (1) vote for each Common Share into which such Series A Preferred Share could be converted.
