Trump announces trade deal with EU following months of negotiations
LONDON - Hummingbird Resources PLC (AIM:HUM), a gold producing company, is set to be delisted from the AIM market as Nioko Resources Corporation secures over 75% of its issued ordinary share capital. The acquisition, which was announced on January 13, 2025, will result in Hummingbird’s shares being cancelled from trading on AIM effective 7:00 a.m. on March 3, 2025, with the last day of trading slated for February 28, 2025.
Following the delisting, Hummingbird plans to re-register as a private company. This change is expected to significantly reduce the liquidity and marketability of any Hummingbird shares not already acquired by Nioko. As a consequence, the value of these shares may be affected. Remaining Hummingbird shareholders may find themselves as minority stakeholders in a private limited company, potentially impacting their ability to sell their shares and their chances of receiving dividends or other distributions.
Nioko’s offer for Hummingbird shares remains open until the final closing date, with shareholders required to respond at least 14 days prior to this date. The offer will close at 1:00 p.m. (London time) on the specified closing date. If Nioko acquires 90% or more of the Hummingbird shares, it intends to compulsorily acquire the remaining shares on the same terms as the offer.
Shareholders who have not yet accepted the offer are encouraged to do so as soon as possible. Those holding shares in certificated form should complete and return the Form of Acceptance with any necessary documents of title. Shareholders with shares in uncertificated form (CREST) should accept electronically through CREST.
For further assistance, a shareholder helpline is available, operated by Link Group, during business hours from Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays in England and Wales. The helpline provides information from the Offer Document but does not offer financial, legal, or tax advice.
This information is based on a press release statement, which also includes the company’s background. Hummingbird Resources, a member of the World Gold Council and Single Mine Origin, has two core gold projects: the Yanfolila Gold Mine in Mali and the Kouroussa Gold Mine in Guinea. Additionally, it has a controlling interest in the Dugbe Gold Project in Liberia, developed by Pasofino Gold Limited, showcasing significant reserves and promising economic projections.
The Offer Document provides full terms of the offer, including how to accept it, and is the sole basis for any response to the offer.
