On 23 March 2021, KAZ Minerals PLC (the “Company”) announced that it had posted its notice of 2021 Annual General Meeting (the “2021 AGM”), due to be held on 29 April 2021.
On 9 April 2021, Nova Resources B.V. (“Bidco”) announced that its Final Increased Offer for the Company had been declared unconditional in all respects.
On 26 April 2021, Bidco announced that it had received acceptances under the Final Increased Offer in respect of more than 90 per cent. in value of the KAZ Minerals Shares to which the Final Increased Offer relates, and that it would soon be exercising its right to compulsorily acquire all of the outstanding KAZ Minerals Shares which it does not already hold or has not already acquired, contracted to acquire or in respect of which it has not already received valid acceptances.
In light of the announcements of 9 April and 26 April and the fact that the Company will in due course become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bidco, the 2021 AGM will no longer be held as announced. The Director or senior employee of the Company who will chair the 2021 AGM will open the meeting and immediately propose that it is adjourned indefinitely.
The general meeting to be held on 12 May 2021 for the purposes of approving the re-registration of the Company as a private limited company will proceed as planned.
Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement have the meanings set out in the Final Increased Offer Document dated 26 March 2021.
