A record total of 153,093,098 shares, representing 56.33% of the issued and outstanding common shares, were voted in person or by proxy at its Special Meeting on March 14, 2017 to approve the previously announced plan of arrangement involving ETI, and shareholders of the Company (the "Arrangement"). Both of the resolutions proposed to the shareholders, detailed in the Notice of Special Meeting of the Company dated February 10, 2017, received overwhelming support from the Company's shareholders.
On Wednesday, March 15, 2017, Iberian will seek a final order from the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench on the Arrangement (the "Final Order"). The hearing is expected to take place at 2:00 p.m. (Calgary time) in Calgary. If the Final Order is received, the Company expects to effect the Arrangement on Tuesday, March 21, 2017. In order to receive his/her pro rata share of the ETI Share Distribution, an Iberian shareholder must be a shareholder of record as of the date the Arrangement takes effect (currently anticipated to be March 21, 2017). Given the standard timeline for settlement procedures, an Iberian shareholder who effects a trade of Iberian common shares on a stock exchange on or after Friday, March 17, 2017 is unlikely going to have his trade position settled in time to be reflected on Iberian's registered record. As settlement procedures for different institutions differ, an Iberian shareholder who wishes to confirm that their trade position can be settled in time to be reflected on the Iberian record to receive the ETI Share Distribution is encouraged to consult his own financial advisor in this regard.
The Company anticipates that it will be issuing an additional news release as soon as possible to cover the following:
- Confirmation of receipt of the Final Order;
- Completion of the Arrangement; and
- Trading date for ETI on the Canadian Securities Exchange.
Shareholder Presentation
The Company further wishes to announce an investor presentation which will take place at 6:00 PM, March 21, 2017 at the Marriot Courtyard Edmonton West, 10011 184th Street NW, Edmonton, Alberta.
Please confirm of your attendance via email to rick@iberianminerals.ca by March 20th.
