Takeover Code
The Company is not subject to the UK City Code on Takeovers and Mergers. As a company incorporated in Alberta and continued into British Columbia is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, it falls under the Canadian law. However, Canadian laws applicable to the Company provide for early warning disclosure requirements and for takeover bid rules made to security holders in various jurisdictions in Canada.
Rule 17 of the AIM Rules
When acquiring shares in the Company, shareholders are entitled under Canadian securities laws to categorise themselves as “objecting” (“Obos”) or “non-objecting” (“Nobos”). By registering as such, which they usually do through the entity through which they acquired their shares, Obos are noting that they object to their interest and their details being disclosed to the Company. In respect of interests up to 10 percent of the issued share capital of the Company after which level Canadian securities law makes disclosure mandatory. Nobos on the other hand are noting the fact that they do not object to their shareholdings and their details being disclosed to the Company.
Rule 17 of the AIM Rules requires, inter alia, that an AIM quoted company must notify the market of any changes of which it is aware to its Shareholders’ interests in three percent or more of the Common Shares and changes thereto (of any movements through a percentage point upwards or downwards). The Shareholders approved on the 19th November 2015, to change the Company’s constitution to require that Shareholders holding interests in three percent or more of the Company’s Common Shares inform the Company thereof and to inform the Company of relevant subsequent changes thereto.
Though Mkango’s constitution incorporates the requirements for shareholders to disclose their holdings of voting rights in accordance with the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules Sourcebook (“DTR”), as a Canadian incorporated business statutory disclosure of significant shareholdings may be different and may not always ensure compliance with the requirements of AIM Rule 17. Shareholders are advised to consult the DTR when considering their requirements to disclose holdings to the Company.
