The bit that's of interest to us
Suspension of Listing
Ormonde became an AIM Rule 15 cash shell in October 2022 and is therefore required to make an acquisition or acquisitions constituting a reverse takeover ("RTO") under AIM Rule 14 and the Euronext Growth Market rules on, or before, the dates falling six and twelve months respectively from 3 October 2022.
Following Ormonde's acquisition of a 20% interest in Peak Nickel Limited, as announced on 7 February 2023, the Company's ordinary shares have been suspended from trading on AIM and Euronext Growth Market. As Ormonde is a cash shell, the Subscription for shares in TRU is also deemed to be an RTO under AIM Rules and Euronext Growth Rules and as such trading in the Company's shares will remain suspended until an AIM admission document and a Euronext Growth information document are published.
As TRU is already listed in Canada, the Ormonde Board has decided, subject to shareholder approval, to seek to cancel the Company's admission to trading on AIM and Euronext Growth Market as part of the approval process around this Subscription (the "Cancellation"). An announcement setting out the reasons for the proposed Cancellation, the effect of the proposed Cancellation, and a detailed timetable will be released when finalised. A circular will be prepared and sent to shareholders in due course with a notice convening an Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") to approve the Subscription and the Cancellation of the Company's shares to trading on AIM and Euronext Growth Market. The Subscription is conditional on shareholder approval and the completion of the Cancellation.
Brendan McMorrow, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"We are very excited about the geological prospectivity of the Golden Rose Project, and the future opportunities that a combined TRU and Ormonde could uncover. The proposed investment in TRU, if approved, together with the existing investment in Peak Nickel, provide Ormonde's shareholders with exposure to quality and diverse assets across a range of strategic minerals in Tier 1 jurisdictions, thereby positioning the Company for significant value creation in the short-to-medium term."
