Colin Bird was Chairman of Kiwara Plc, and oversaw the sale of Kiwara to First Quantum Minerals Ltd. in a cash and share deal valued at approximately US$260 million. The transaction was announced on November 23, 2009, and completed on January 29, 2010. Under the deal, Kiwara shareholders received 0.0085 First Quantum shares and 37.5 pence for every Kiwara share held, implying a value of 75 pence per Kiwara share, a 41.5% premium to Kiwara’s closing price on November 20, 2009. The share price had been trending up for a period prior to that announcement.
The acquisition was announced on November 23, 2009, and finalized on January 29, 2010, through a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the UK Companies Act of 2006.
Colin has previously mentioned schemes of arrangement at the AGM for Luansobe.
