REMOVE: BRL: Delisting from the New Zealand Stock Exchange
Delisting of Bathurst Resources Limited from the NZX
Bathurst Resources Limited ("Bathurst" or "the Company" ASX/NZX: BRL) has
resolved to delist from the New Zealand Stock Exchange ("NZX") Main Board,
with effect from 3 July 2015 ("Delisting Date").
BRL's shares will remain listed on the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX")
and will continue to be quoted on the ASX. New Zealand shareholders will
still be able to trade BRL shares through any New Zealand stockbroker who can
facilitate trading through the ASX, or by dealing through an Australian
stockbroker.
BRL's decision is a result of an ongoing Business Efficiency Review aimed at
streamlining business processes and systems to reduce operating costs.
Delisting from the NZX will enable BRL to save on the ongoing listing fees,
legal fees, and registry costs associated with maintaining its NZX Main Board
listing.
The last day on which shareholders will be able to trade BRL shares on the
NZX Main Board is 29 June 2015. On the Delisting Date all BRL shareholders
holding their shares on BRL's New Zealand register will automatically be
transferred to the Australian register (although BRL's principal share
register will continue to be maintained in New Zealand). Such shareholders
whose shares are transferred to the Australian register will continue to hold
legal title to their shares, and will be paid any dividends in New Zealand
dollars, receive corporate documentation and notices, and be able to attend
meetings and vote directly.
Following the Delisting Date, BRL shares can only be traded on the ASX.
Affected shareholders will receive notification of their new Security
Reference Number (SRN) and holding statement the week commencing 6 July.
BRL will send a letter to New Zealand shareholders outlining the delisting
process. A copy of the letter is attached.
BRL will remain as a New Zealand registered company. The Company appreciates
the support of its New Zealand shareholders, and encourages them to continue
with their investment in the company.
