ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
ASX : VXL
21 February 2014
SHARE SALE FACILITY OF LESS THAN MARKETABLE PARCELS
Valence Industries Limited (ASX: VXL) (VXL or the Company) would like to advise that it will be implementing a share sale facility of fully paid ordinary shares for shareholders who hold less than a Marketable Parcel of shares in the Company (Share Sale Facility). Under ASX Listing Rules, any shareholding valued at less than $500 is considered to be less than a Marketable Parcel.
The sale of holdings that are less than a Marketable Parcel is permitted under ASX Listing Rules and Clause 5.6 of VXL’s Constitution. VXL has initiated the share sale facility to enable shareholders holding less than a Marketable Parcel to have their shares sold without paying brokerage. VXL will organise payment of all the transaction costs of sale for those shareholders who take advantage of the Share Sale Facility (although any tax consequences from the sale will be the shareholder’s responsibility).
The Record Date for purpose of establishing holders of less than Marketable Parcels is the close of trade on 20 February 2014. The closing price of the Company’s shares on the Record Date was $0.285 (28.5 cents) and on that basis less than a Marketable Parcel is 1,754 shares.
Approximately 1,621 or 40%, of the Company’s 4,015 shareholders hold less than Marketable Parcels making up only approximately 0.38% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary shares on issue. By facilitating the sale of less than marketable parcels, the Company expects to reduce the administrative costs associated with maintaining a large number of small shareholdings.
A letter outlining the procedures of the Share Sale Facility will be mailed to eligible shareholders on 3 March 2014 and you do not need to do anything further until you receive these details.
Below is an indicative timetable for the sale of the less that Marketable Parcels:
