re-domicile from Canada to the UK16 Mar 2018 12:44
�Additional information
The company has announced the re-commencement of the process to re-domicile from Canada to the UK, to be effected by way of a plan of arrangement in Canada, with existing shares to be exchanged for shares in a new UK holding company, Bacanora lithium plc. Di holders will need to submit the instructions by 19mar18 in order to receive new ordinary shares in Bacanora lithium on or about 21mar18.
Clients who send an instruction prior to their stated deadline are not required to complete the letter of transmittal.
Failure to lodge letter of transmittal:
The below applies to shareholders who wish to dissent on the offer in the event that any Bacanora Canada shareholders fail to lodge the letter of transmittal in accordance with the instructions set out in the plan of arrangement and the circular (non-claiming shareholder).
They will not be eligible to receive their Bacanora UK shares until such time as the letter of transmittal duly completed is so lodged.
In the meantime, the Bacanora UK shares to which they would otherwise be entitled (unclaimed Bacanora UK shares) will be held on trust by computershare trustees (jersey) limited (the trustee) pursuant to a trust to be created on or before admission pursuant to a trust deed. Under the terms of the trust deed the trustee will hold the unclaimed Bacanora UK shares on trust for the company until such time as the non-claiming shareholder lodge the letter of transmittal duly completed.
Non-claiming shareholders should be aware that under the articles:
In the event that a non-claiming shareholder does not lodge a letter of transmittal duly completed within 3 years of admission any entitlement of that non claiming shareholder to his unclaimed Bacanora UK shares shall lapse, and such unclaimed Bacanora UK shares shall be transferred by the trustee to the company a non-claiming shareholder shall have no right to any dividends which are declared in respect of the unclaimed Bacanora UK shares at any time prior to the date on which they lodge a letter of transmittal, and under the terms of the deed the trustee shall have the right to waive its rights to receive any dividends which may be so declared.�
Am I correct to think that the above applies to shareholders who bought their shares from Canada and that those who purchased them through CREST London are not required to take any action regarding the re-domicile? Your replies will be appreciated.
