Update on Sale of La Zarza Assets
Ormonde announces that at its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") and Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") held earlier today, all resolution were duly passed. Accordingly, Ormonde is pleased to confirm the sale of its interests in the La Zarza Copper-Gold Project in Spain as announced on 29 July 2022 (the "Sale") is now unconditional.
A further announcement will be made upon completion of the Sale, which is anticipated to occur imminently.
Following completion of the Sale, Ormonde will become an AIM Rule 15 cash shell and, as such, will be required to make an acquisition or acquisitions constituting a reverse takeover under AIM Rule 14 and Euronext Growth Market rules on or before the date falling six and twelve months respectively from completion of the Sale. If no such acquisition or acquisitions are made, the Company's shares would be suspended from trading pursuant to AIM Rule 40 and the Euronext Growth Market rules.
The results of voting at the AGM and EGM are provided in the appendix below.
Brendan McMorrow, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"I would like to thank Ormonde's shareholders for their support in completing this transaction. To release value from La Zarza at a premium to book value is an excellent outcome for the Company and its shareholders.
Ormonde has the financial resources to pursue transformative acquisition opportunities and to generate considerable shareholder value in the coming months and years. We are working assiduously to identify an optimal project for the Company."
