Update on Voluntary Delisting From The Toronto Stock Exchange
Atalaya Mining plc ("Atalaya" or the "Company") (AIM: ATYM; TSX: AYM) is providing an update on its application for a voluntary delisting of its ordinary shares from the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX").
As announced on 20 February 2023, the TSX delisting was expected to occur on 7 March 2023, however, the Company now expects the delisting to be effective as of the closing of trading on 20 March 2023. Ordinary shares in the Company will continue to trade on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange under the symbol "ATYM".
Shareholder approval is not required for the delisting because the Company's shares trade on AIM, which is an acceptable alternative market in accordance with Section 720(b) of the TSX Company Manual.
Additional Information for Shareholders on the Canadian Register
