VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 0944460 B.C. Ltd. (“094”) announced today that it has completed its going private transaction described in 094’s information circular dated August 14, 2019.
094 has effected a consolidation of its shares on the basis of one post-consolidated share for each 31,019,125 pre-consolidated shares (the “Consolidation”). The Consolidation has resulted in all of the holders of shares of 094 (except for 0950193 B.C. Ltd.) holding a fractional interest in the post-consolidated shares of 094. As fractional shares will not be issued, each former holder of shares of 094 is entitled to receive $0.00209 in cash for each pre-consolidated share held immediately prior to the Consolidation in lieu of certificates for fractional post-consolidated shares (with no amount being paid to a holder of shares who would be entitled to receive, net of withholding taxes, less than $10).
As a result of the Consolidation, 0950193 B.C. Ltd. is now the sole shareholder of 094, holding one common share and 886 Class A Preferred Shares.
094 obtained shareholder approvals to effect the Consolidation at its recent special meeting of shareholders held on September 12, 2019, as described in 094’s information circular that was sent to shareholders on August 14, 2019 with the notice of such meeting. September 13, 2019 serves as the “Effective Date” of the Consolidation and the record date for determining holders of shares to be entitled to receive the cash amount for their fractional shares.
In order for former holders of shares to receive the cash amount to be paid to them for their shares, the certificates representing the pre-consolidated shares must be delivered to Computershare Investor Services Inc. together with a duly completed and signed Letter of Transmittal in the form delivered to holders of shares with the notice of meeting and accompanying information circular dated August 14, 2019 of 094. There is no settlement date or distribution date on which funds are to be distributed.
094 will apply to the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities for an order that 094 will no longer be a reporting issuer under Canadian securities laws.
On Behalf of the Board of Directors of 0944460 B.C. Ltd.
