ASX Announcement
20[th] September 2019
Capital Consolidation Update
-
Capital consolidation process to commence on 23[rd ] September 2019
-
Loyalty Option issue remains scheduled to occur in December 2019
Metminco Limited (ASX: MNC) (“ Metminco ” or “ the Company ” ) is pleased to provide an update in respect of the timetable for the consolidation of capital previously proposed.
Consolidation of Capital
Metminco’s shareholders approved the consolidation of all MNC issued shares and options (including shares issued in consideration of the takeover of Andes Resources Limited ( Andes ) on a 1 for 40 basis at an EGM of shareholders held on 15[th] July 2019 ( Consolidation ).
The Consolidation process will commence as previously advised to the market, on Monday, 23[rd] September 2019.
The Company currently has a large number of shares on issue, and so the recent re-launch and recapitalisation of the Company through the now completed merger with Andes is an appropriate time to reset the capital structure to a more appropriate number of shares for a junior exploration company. This is considered to be an important step in the management of the Company’s capital given it is expected to reduce the current high levels of volatility in the share price. Furthermore, the Company believes the Consolidation will provide the best platform for continued growth, a capital structure that is more in line with the Company’s size, and a share price level that is more attractive to institutional investors that the Company wishes to market itself to in the future.
Effect of the Consolidation
Once the Consolidation occurs, the number of the Company’s shares on issue will be reduced from 6,659,575,831 existing shares to approximately 166,489,396 shares[1] . As the Consolidation applies equally to all shareholders, individual shareholdings will be reduced in the same ratio as the total number of shares (subject only to the rounding up of fractions). The Consolidation will have no material effect on the percentage interest of each individual Shareholder. Similarly, the aggregate value of each shareholder’s holding (and the Company’s market capitalisation) should not materially change as a result of the consolidation.
The Company’s options to acquire shares ( Options ) will also be reorganised in accordance with their terms and conditions and Listing Rule 7.22.1 (as applicable) on the basis that the number of Options will be consolidated in the same ratio as the shares and the exercise price will be amended in inverse proportion to that ratio. The expiry dates of Options will not change.
The pre-consolidation and post-consolidation capital structure of the Company is presented at the end of this announcement.
1 The exact final number may vary slightly due to rounding.
