Great Bear Royalties
Hi guys, this is my first experience with a company that has rolled out a royalties subsidiary. Can someone explain to me how it is expected to work? I've owned common shares in GBR since last June, well before the cut off date in the roll out. As I understand it, the shares in great bear royalties wont be listed on an exchange - how does one get access to them in this situation?
Thanks!

Altho not tradable, they should be rflfected in your brokerage account (they are at my Schwab acct). As noted, by IvanHoe, they could be used by GBR as a bargaining chip with a potential acquirer, including them if the price is right and excluding them, if not. They should have increasing intereet for a royalty/streaming company. Just enjoy the ride.

You are right vestor111, because Chris organized the spinco so that the shareholders would have something to look forward to, to still have some type of 'ownership' in the gold that is pulled out of there. So he wouldn't have set it up to be bought out or to be used as leverage, because that would defeat what he envisioed for himself and all of us other shareholders.

A potential acquirer has two options: 1) buying the GBR shares and 2) buying the GBR and Royalty shares. Shareholders have to approve either option so it's just a question of the price. Still, it's a smart move by Chris, leaving shareholders a residual royalty if the acquisition price isn't sufficient.
