RE: SOLG EGM, June 30, 202229 May 2022 15:14
I believe there is nothing sinister about this EGM but I don't think its smart for the company to only make the previous and revised announcements through SEDAR, even though it is a requirement in Canada.
In any case the Agenda will have to be announced 21 days (14?) beforehand...
So while there is wild speculation my own belief is that it could be for one or more of the following reasons:
1 To increase the Authorised Share Capital
As at 30 June 2021 this was 783, shares. With 2,293,816,433 in issue that only leaves 783,385,289 shares available for issue, which at say 30p would raise a maximum of £235m...
I'm pretty sure there will be a significantly bigger equity element in the Cascabel financing, but anyhow...
We all agree that the Co will need to issue further equity up to or beyond 30 June to get the DFS done and for further drilling...surely a minimum of $100m...
2 To authorise the issue of securities on a North American exchange e.g. Nasdaq
3 To secure the authority to issue Convertible Securities as required for the Cascabel financing
"With regard to the section "Convertible securities or loan stock" there is a requirement under s549(1)(b) for authority to allot where there is an issue of loan stock or other security which are convertible into shares."
And there could be a notice similar to this below...
"Further to the Company's announcements regarding a proposed EGM to be held on 30 June the Directors announce that it is their intention to seek approval for a Convertible Bond Offering on xxx, and that it will today publish and post (or otherwise make available) to shareholders a Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting with related explanatory circular (together the "EGM Notice and Circular"). The EGM Notice and Circular contains resolutions to approve the allotment and issue of Ordinary Shares on a non pre-emptive basis for the purpose of settling conversions of the Bonds , which will be put to shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting of the Company (the "EGM")."
Or similar...
In conclusion I believe the EGM will be for the purpose of approving North American securities and to increase the Authorised Share Capital...
AIMO....comments welcome...
