Avesoro Announces Expiry of Mandatory Extension Period and Avesoro Jersey Limited's Plan to Complete Compulsory Acquisition
Avesoro Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Avesoro") announces that its controlling shareholder, Avesoro Jersey Limited ("AJL") has announced that the offer to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares (the "Common Shares") of Avesoro not currently owned by AJL or any of its affiliates or associates for GBP1.00 (or its equivalent in Canadian or U.S. dollars) in cash per Common Share (the "Offer"), as extended on November 22, 2019 for the mandatory extension period, expired at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on December 3, 2019.
Since AJL's initial take up of 18,880,713 Common Shares on November 22, 2019, AJL has advised the Company that it has taken up and accepted for payment 1,092,433 Common Shares on November 29, 2019. Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the "Depositary") has reported that as at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on December 3, 2019, the expiry time of the mandatory extension period of the Offer, an additional 431,179 Common Shares (the "Additional Common Shares") were validly deposited under the Offer and not withdrawn. AJL has reported that it will take up and accept for payment all Additional Common Shares and that payment of GBP431,179, in the aggregate, for such Additional Common Shares will be made to the Depositary in accordance with applicable securities laws.
Immediately prior to the Offer, AJL owned 59,457,152 Common Shares, representing, on a non-diluted basis, approximately 72.9% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. With the take up of the Common Shares on November 22 and 29, 2019 and the Additional Common Shares, AJL will have acquired an aggregate of 20,404,325 Common Shares pursuant to the Offer, being all of the Common Shares validly deposited pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 92.25% of the Common Shares subject to the Offer. Following this take up and payment, AJL will own and control 79,861,477 Common Shares representing, on a non-diluted basis, approximately 97.90% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.
Compulsory Acquisition
AJL has announced that it intends to carry out a compulsory acquisition (the "Compulsory Acquisition") of all of the remaining issued and outstanding Common Shares that are not currently owned by AJL pursuant to the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "Act"). Under the terms of the Compulsory Acquisition, and subject to the terms of the Act, the holders of all remaining Common Shares not currently owned by AJL will be entitled to receive the same consideration per share as paid under the Offer, being GBP1.00 (or its equivalent in Canadian or U.S. dollars) in cash per Common Share.
A notice of compulsory acquisition (the "Notice") and letter of transmittal and election (the "Letter of Transmittal and Election") will be sent by AJL to all registered holders of Common Shares who did not deposit their shares to the Offer to describe, among other things, the process and schedule for completion of the Compulsory Acquisition and the associated actions that such remaining shareholders are required to take on or before 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on January 2, 2020. The Notice and Letter of Transmittal and Election will also be made available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Delisting
AJL has further announced that it intends to cause Avesoro to apply to delist the Common Shares from the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") and the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange (the "AIM") with effect from, or as soon as practicable upon, the completion of the Compulsory Acquisition which is expected to be in early January 2020. AJL has reported that it expects that the London Stock Exchange will grant a waiver from the requirement for the Company to seek shareholder consent for the proposed cancellation from AIM pursuant to paragraph (b) of the guidance to AIM Rule 41. Cancellation of admission of the Common Shares to trading on AIM will not happen before January 2, 2020.
