Base Resources Limited - Scheme becomes effective


News provided by

Base Resources Limited

13 Sep, 2024, 06:00 GMT


 

 

 

AIM and Media Release 

13 September 2024

 

Base Resources Limited
Scheme becomes effective

 

Base Resources Limited (ASX & AIM: BSE) (Base Resources) is pleased to advise that earlier today Base Resources lodged with the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) a copy of the orders made by the Federal Court of Australia (Court) approving the scheme of arrangement under which a wholly owned subsidiary of Energy Fuels Inc. (Energy Fuels) will acquire 100% of the shares in Base Resources (Scheme).

A copy of the Court orders lodged with ASIC is attached to this announcement.

The Scheme is now legally effective, and it is expected that Base Resources shares will be suspended from trading on AIM from the commencement of trading on AIM today, 13 September 2024.

Special Dividend

On 26 August 2024, Base Resources announced that the Board had determined to pay a Special Dividend of AUD 6.5 cents per Base Resources share.  With the Scheme now effective, the Special Dividend is unconditional.  This dividend will be unfranked.

The Special Dividend Record Date for Base Resources DI Holders will be 6.00pm (London time) on 18 September 2024, and will be paid on 1 October 2024.

Scheme Consideration

Under the Scheme, Base Resources shareholders and Base Resources DI Holders (other than ineligible foreign shareholders and electing small shareholders, see details below) will be entitled to receive the Scheme Consideration of 0.0260 Energy Fuels shares for each Base Resources share held at the Scheme Record Date, being 6.00pm (London time) on 20 September 2024 for Base Resources DI Holders.

Ineligible foreign shareholders and electing small shareholders will not receive Energy Fuels shares under the Scheme.  Instead, the Energy Fuels Shares that would otherwise have been issued to the ineligible foreign shareholder or electing small shareholder will be allotted to the sale agent for sale on the TSX and NYSE.  Energy Fuels will procure, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Implementation Date (and in any event within 30 days after the Implementation Date) that the sale agent sells or procures the sale of those Energy Fuels Shares in the ordinary course of trading on the TSX or the NYSE and in such manner, at such price and on such other terms as the sale agent reasonably determines (Sale Facility).  Ineligible foreign shareholders and electing small shareholders will receive their pro-rata proportion of the net cash proceeds realised from the sale of those Energy Fuels shares (after deducting reasonable brokerage and other selling costs, taxes and charges). Further details are set out in Section 10.6 of the Scheme Booklet.

Base Resources DI Holders are reminded that small shareholders (being those holding 350,000 Base Resources DIs or fewer at the Scheme Record Date) may elect to have all, but not some, of the new Energy Fuels Shares they are entitled to allotted to the sale agent and sold through the Sale Facility (as described above).  For a Base Resources DI Holder that is a small shareholder to make an election to participate in the Sale Facility, they must provide an election instruction through CREST by following the instructions set out in Annexure 2 of the Scheme Booklet. The deadline for receipt of CREST election instructions by the Depositary is 1.00pm (London time) on 18 September 2024.

Timetable

The remaining key dates for the Scheme are set out below.
