The shareholders of Pantera have approved the Pantera share exchange which constitutes Pantera's Qualifying Transaction pursuant to Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). Upon completion of the Reorganization and Qualifying Transaction now approved by the shareholders of Mill City and Pantera, Mill City will be renamed "E3 Energy Inc.", its shares with be consolidated on a one for twelve basis and Pantera will be renamed "Mill City International Corporation".
