Golden Bridge Development Corporation Announces Letter of Intent and Termination of Previous Letter of Intent

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan. 28, 2016) -

THIS PRESS RELEASE, REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE CANADIAN LAWS, IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

Golden Bridge Development Corporation ("Golden Bridge," or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:GBD) announces that the Company has signed a non-binding letter of intent (the "LOI") with CIM Development (Markham) LP ("CIM Development") to acquire an indirect interest in a real estate development project located in the Greater Toronto Area in exchange for common shares ("Common Shares") in the capital of Golden Bridge (the "Transaction"). If completed, the Transaction would result in both a change of business ("Change of Business") for Golden Bridge which would become a "Diversified Industries" company and a reverse take-over ("RTO") within the meaning of the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V"). In conjunction with the Transaction, Golden Bridge intends to apply to list the Common Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") and intends to apply to delist the Common Shares from the TSX-V.

The Company also announces that the letter of intent dated October 15, 2015 between Golden Bridge, LeMine Development Corp., and CIM Development (the "Parties") has been terminated as the parties agreed to not proceed with the intended transaction which was outlined in the Company's press release dated October 16, 2015. None of the Parties have any further obligations or commitments or liabilities for any break-up fees with any of the other Parties whatsoever in accordance with the termination agreement. In addition, it is acknowledged that Golden Bridge and CIM Development are free to solicit and complete any transaction with the same or similar terms and conditions. As a result of the press release of October 16, 2015, trading in the Common Shares on the TSX-V was halted and remains halted.

Letter of Intent and Transaction

The LOI between Golden Bridge and CIM Development provides that, subject to completion of tax, corporate and securities planning and other conditions, including execution of a definitive agreement, Golden Bridge will acquire an indirect interest in a real estate development project beneficially owned by CIM Development, an Ontario limited partnership based in Richmond Hill. Golden Bridge will acquire an indirect interest valued at $10,000,000 in the "Mackenzie Creek" residential condominium development property located at 5899 Mackenzie Creek Drive, Markham, Ontario, in exchange for the issuance of 40,000,000 Common Shares in the aggregate to be issued at a deemed price of $0.25 per Common Share, all on a post-consolidation basis (see below). More specifically, as currently proposed, Golden Bridge intends to acquire 10,000,000 non-voting, preferred limited partnership units of a new limited partnership to be indirectly owned by CIM Investment & Development LP, Global King Inc. and Shang Titlist Investment Inc. (collectively, the "CIM Group"). The new limited partnership will own CIM Development.

All the vendors involved in the Transaction are arm's length parties to Golden Bridge and its officers and directors. CIM Investment & Development LP is a Richmond Hill, Ontario based real estate developer, and Global King Inc. and Shang Titlist Investment Inc. are based in Markham, Ontario and Thornhill, Ontario respectively.

In connection with the Transaction, CIM Group has made a refundable deposit of $36,000 to be held in an interest-bearing account. Upon completion of the Transaction, or if there is a termination of the LOI in accordance with its terms, Golden Bridge will immediately repay the deposit to CIM Group.

The LOI contains the usual non-solicitation and exclusivity covenants by the Company which will be in effect for a period of 60 days from January 28, 2016 or until the earlier termination of the LOI. Upon entering into the definitive agreement, a break fee in an aggregate amount of $300,000 will be payable by the Company in the event that it terminates the definitive agreement on the basis that it has received an alternative proposal which the board of directors of the Company determines is a superior proposal.

The Company intends to explore equity financing options in parallel with proceeding towards the completion of the Transaction. An equity financing may be required in order to meet CSE listing requirements.

Post-Transaction Company and Proposed Change of Business

The Company has 18,663,081 Common Shares outstanding at this time, on a non-diluted basis. It is expected that, upon the closing of the Transaction and prior to any potential concurrent financing which may occur as part of the Transaction, the CIM Group and the current shareholders of Golden Bridge will hold, respectively, 91.5% and 8.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company, on a non-diluted basis. At or about the time of the closing of the Transaction, Golden Bridge is proposing to consolidate its issued and outstanding shares on the basis of five pre-consolidation Common Shares for each one post-consolidation Common Share. The proposed consolidation of the Common Shares will be subject to both shareholder and regulatory review.

Following the completion of the Transaction, the board of directors of the Company shall be comprised of seven directors, initially consisting of three directors nominated by Golden Bridge and four directors nominated by the CIM Group. Apart from Mr. Jiubin Feng, who will be appointed as President, CEO and Chairman of the board of directors of the Company, the directors will be determined at a later time. The Company's current President and CEO, Changlin (Charles) Qin, will resign as President and CEO immediately following the completion of the Transaction.

Golden Bridge is currently a Tier 2 Mining Issuer pursuant to the policies of the TSX-V. The current management and the board of directors of Golden Bridge recently considered a number of potential opportunities and strategies to maximize shareholder value in the mineral resource and exploration sector. Due to the difficult economic state of the mineral resource sector and lack of capital available in this industry, Golden Bridge proposes to reposition its business mandate as a "Diversified Industries" issuer focused on two distinct business sectors: resources and real estate. This will permit the Company to pursue and develop business in these various sectors when opportunities arise and will allow the Company to expand its operations more easily and to be in a better position to enhance shareholder value in the future.

As a result of the acquisition of the interest in the real estate development project, Golden Bridge believes it will have the benefit of the skills and talents of an experienced real estate developer in the Greater Toronto Area in an industry which has seen significant growth and development during the past several years and in which there has been available capital from financiers and lenders to carry out such projects.

The shareholders of the Company will also be asked to approve the change of the Company's name to "CIM Development Group Inc.".
