RE:RE:RE:Looking forward to the consolidation17Digger,
Since you appear to have taken perspective from a cursory view of the proposed consolidation, comparing outcomes that have very little similarity with the current FCC consolidation proposal, I offer the following more rationalized deliberate company perspective:
Principal Reasons for Effecting the Consolidation page 16 and 17 of NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS...
The effect of the Consolidation upon the market price of the Common Shares cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the history of share consolidations for corporations similar to the Company is varied. There are three considerations that will likely determine whether to proceed"
- First, the Company believes an increased Common Share price will allow it to attract certain individual and institutional investors who have minimum share price thresholds for equity investments, which thresholds preclude them from investing in ‘penny stocks’.
- Second, the Company may pursue a secondary listing on a securities exchange in the United States, which has certain minimum share price requirements. The Company believes that a secondary listing could attract new investors given the strong demand for equity investments in battery materials, recycling and electric vehicle companies in the United States.
- The third consideration is the timing to affect a Consolidation. Management has studied many consolidations and believes that in order to be successful, they should be preceded by a significant event, milestone or catalyst.
With guidance from financial advisors, the Company believes a total Common Share count below 60,000,000 will better position the Company for future investment by North American institutional investors while maintaining appropriate trading liquidity and meeting minimum United States listing thresholds. The current Common Share count arose through a merger with an Australian company, where higher outstanding shares are more common.
Your declared concern about a "double authorization" to consolidete twice based on potentially two different AGM resolutions is completely inconsistent with the publically declared Company intent and rationale and current outstanding shares target range.
I hope that this cut & pasted perspective, directly from the company AGM Meeting Notice, is helpful to BB shareholder colleagues,
Peace,
Good Decision-making to All,
