Press Release
For Immediate Release November 13, 1998
TORONTO, ONTARIO – Dexleigh Corporation (DXH.TO) today announced that it will seek shareholder approval for a proposal to privatize the company. The proposed transaction is in response to requests from shareholders who have indicated a desire to receive liquidity for their investment in Dexleigh common shares.
Under the terms of the proposed transaction, Dexleigh shareholders would receive $2.00 cash for each Dexleigh common share. The offer price represents a premium of approximately 25% over recent stock market prices for Dexleigh common shares, which averaged $1.60 during the past thirty trading days.
Shareholders will be asked to consider this proposal at an annual and special meeting of Dexleigh, which, subject to regulatory approvals, will be held in January, 1999. The transaction is also subject to regulatory approval as well as the requirements of OSC Policy 9.1. The board of directors of Dexleigh has appointed a committee of independent directors to review the terms of the proposal and who in turn will engage independent financial advisors to assist them in this regard. The results of this review will be contained in the information circular for the shareholders meeting, which will be mailed to all shareholders within the next four to six weeks.
Dexleigh reported that for the three months ended September 30, 1998, net income was $3.0 million compared with $3.0 for the same period in 1997. After preference share dividends, net income per common share was $0.01 in 1998, consistent with the three months ended September 30, 1997.
