Africo Shareholders Approve Plan of Arrangement
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/29/16 -- Africo Resources Ltd. ("Africo") (TSX: ARL) announces that its previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") between Camrose Resources Limited ("Camrose") and Africo has been approved by the shareholders of Africo at its annual and special meeting held today ("Meeting").
At the Meeting, over 99.99% of the votes cast by all Africo shareholders, and 99.99% of votes cast by Africo shareholders other than Camrose, whose votes were required to be excluded for the purposes of "minority approval" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions, were voted in favour of the Arrangement.
Subject to completion of certain closing conditions, including a final order of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List), Africo expects the Arrangement to be completed on or about July 5, 2016.
Under the Arrangement, Camrose will acquire all of the Common Shares that Camrose does not already own for cash consideration of $1.00 per share. Holders of Africo's Common Shares and Options may also receive an additional aggregate amount of USD $7.5 million if certain transactions, in respect of the Africo's main Kalukundi project, a development stage copper-cobalt deposit located in the Katanga Copperbelt in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), are completed within 14 months following the closing of the Plan of Arrangement with Camrose. The terms and conditions of this contingent payment are set out in an information circular of Africo dated May 31, 2016. The additional amount, if paid, would be equal to approximately USD $0.27 per share. However, there can be no assurance that the additional payment will be made because this is contingent.
At the Meeting the five nominees listed in Africo's management proxy circular were also elected as directors.
