Keras Resources plc ('Keras' or the 'Company')
Clarification regarding distribution of shares in Calidus
Resources Ltd
Keras Resources plc, the AIM listed mineral resource company,
notes that certain shareholders of the Company have been provided
with advice by a London based private client broking firm in
connection with the distribution of ordinary shares in Calidus
Resources Ltd ("Calidus") to the shareholders of Keras
("Shareholders") which the Company believes to be erroneous.
Keras would like to bring the following to the attention of
Shareholders:
-- that ordinary shares of Calidus ("Calidus Shares") are
currently admitted to trading on the ASX, a market operated by
Australian Securities Exchange Limited;
-- that Calidus Shares will not be admitted to trading on the
AIM market of the London Stock Exchange;
-- that the resolutions to be put to Shareholders at the general
meeting of Keras ("GM") to be held at 11.00 a.m. on 14 October 2019
are special resolutions and such resolutions therefore require
votes representing 75% of those cast at the GM to pass;
-- On 25 September 2019, the Calidus Shares had a total value of
GBP11.04m (based on the mid-market closing price quoted on the ASX
and the applicable rate of exchange between the pound and the
Australian dollar), which was greater than the total market
capitalisation of Keras of GBP10.46m at that time; for that
reason,
-- the Directors of Keras believe the total value for
Shareholders will be materially increased by Shareholders holding a
separate interest in ordinary shares of Keras and a separate
interest in Calidus Shares.
Full details of the proposed demerger of Calidus Shares are set
out in the announcement made by the Company on 27 September 2019
and within the Circular that can be found within the Corporate
Documents section at
