Metminco Regulatory News (MNC)

Metminco Limited ("Metminco" or the "Company") (ASX: MNC; AIM: MNC) advises that trading in the shares of the Company was halted on the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX") today pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 17.1. The ASX trading halt was requested in connection with an announcement that the Company expects to make regarding a proposed capital raising and acquisition.

The Company requested the trading halt end on the earlier of the commencement of trading on ASX on Monday 17th September 2018, or when the anticipated announcement referred to above is released to the market.

Should the proposed acquisition proceed, it would constitute a reverse takeover under Rule 14 of the AIM Rules for Companies ("AIM Rules") and require shareholder approval and publication of an admission document.

As the acquisition target is neither a listed company nor an AIM company, pursuant to Rule 14 of the AIM Rules the Company's shares will be suspended from trading on AIM with immediate effect until either publication of the admission document or announcement of the acquisition not proceeding.
