Control of AZX
Now that we have the Special Meeting date (24 July 2018) and the Cut-off date (28 May 2018) for having the shares, it's expected that there is a rush to compete for the shares which are available in the market from now until the cut-off date (make sure that 3 business days required for the switch over is included to avoid disappointment). Competition for the shares would be good for the SP.
Another way to gain the votes is by exercising the opts and wts.
According to the 219 December 2017 filing on SEDAR, page 15, there areabout 20M opts and 116M wts outstanding. Looking at the big picture, the number of options could be ignored for now, since the number is small compared to the wts. Also, options are usually given to top management and if they are terminated before the options are exercised then the options are nolonger valid (Note: most of the options are vested).
There are some large blocks of wts still outstanding. One large block 33.3M belongs to ES (good until April 2020). The rest I have not checked out for the expiry dates (but assuming that they have at least 2 yrs from the issuing date). Another check is to look at the OS of 478Ms and the FD of 580Ms. The difference is 102Ms (which is in the same order of magnitude to the numbers listed on SEDAR.
In general term, assuming that everyone want to have the control of AZX, then
- ES would have, after the wt exercise, 11.5%FD (he may ask for the seat in the BoD, so don't be surprise if the list of directors at the Special Meeting would have ES on it)
- AEM: reduced from 8% to 6.6%FD
- IMG: 1.6%FD
-Teck: 1.6%FD
- EO and friends: 5% x 478/580 = 4.1%
- Anyone having 5Ms would control 5/580 = 0.86% (say ~1%). So, it would take about 5 high net worth shareholders to swamp the 4.1% from the Founder Group.
Just a thought, may be we should have a show of hands to see how many high networth shareholders on this board (start with 1M shares). If you don't want your name to appear on the board, you could send me a private message. I would volunteer to be the scorekeeper and would report the total score on a regular basis, but will not reveal your avatars. I have done this before with another company many years back and had a total of more than 10% of the company. A block of 5-10% would represent a powerful voice.
Cheers,
GH

With that market cap and that resource in the safest juridiction in the world I keep pinching myself. My original position is at .055 but as I liquidate other positions I add on at .09 . A rare opportunity. GLT

You can add my 6.76M shares into the count - although to be honest I will likely trim somewhat if sp rises ahead of the vote to take some profits off the table.
